PRP for hair in Viña del Mar
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate the scalp. At Clínica Lumos it is prescribed by Dr. Evelyn Alfonso as part of a Hair Protocol tailored to you, when your diagnosis shows there are follicles that are still active worth protecting and strengthening.
It is not a magic solution or the same for everyone: it works best when the right patient is chosen, it is combined with other tools and the response is measured with trichoscopy.

What is platelet-rich plasma?
Platelets are blood cells that, besides taking part in clotting, contain growth factors: proteins involved in tissue repair. To obtain PRP, a small sample of your blood is taken and centrifuged to separate and concentrate the platelets in the plasma, and that concentrate is applied to the scalp through micro-injections.
The idea is to stimulate follicles that are weakening, for example in androgenetic alopecia, so the hair grows thicker and shedding decreases. Because it comes from your own body, the risk of allergic reactions is very low.
The evidence shows variable results between patients. That is why at Clínica Lumos it is not prescribed on its own: it is part of a plan that is adjusted to the cause of your hair loss and your response at each check-up.
Every patient has their own formula. PRP is obtained from your own blood, and Dr. Alfonso decides whether to combine it with a mesotherapy formula prepared especially for you, how many sessions you need and how often, based on your diagnosis and your progress.
Who is PRP for hair recommended for?
Early-stage hair loss
Hair that is thinning or losing density, with follicles that are still active.
Men and women
With androgenetic alopecia or diffuse thinning, depending on the diagnosis.
Before the transplant
To prepare the scalp and protect the native hair.
After the transplant
As support to maintain the hair that was not transplanted.
If the follicles can no longer be recovered, PRP will not grow new hair in that area. In those cases, we consider a FUE hair transplant.
What the treatment is like
Trichology evaluation
Dr. Alfonso reviews your history and performs an AI-assisted trichoscopy to measure density, thickness and miniaturization. If appropriate, tests are ordered to rule out treatable causes.
Obtaining the plasma
A blood sample is taken, as in a lab test, and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets.
Application
The plasma is applied with micro-injections to the indicated areas of the scalp. It is an outpatient, minimally invasive procedure.
Follow-up
Progress is monitored with photographs and trichoscopy. Hair grows slowly: changes are assessed over months, not weeks.
After the session
- You can resume your usual activities, generally the same day.
- It is normal to feel tenderness or see slight redness in the area for a few hours.
- We will tell you when to wash your hair and what to avoid during the first few days.
- If you have any questions, you have direct contact with the clinic via WhatsApp.
When it is not recommended
- Some blood or clotting disorders.
- Certain medications, such as anticoagulants, which should be discussed with your treating physician.
- Active infections or lesions on the scalp.
- Pregnancy or other conditions that the doctor evaluates during the consultation.
PRP is a tool, not the whole treatment
In our Hair Protocol, PRP can be combined with hair mesotherapy, follicular nutrition and medical treatment, depending on the cause of your hair loss. This way several factors are addressed at the same time and the plan is adjusted with data from each check-up.
PRP for hair
Does PRP for hair hurt?
There may be mild discomfort during the micro-injections, which most patients tolerate well. Afterwards the area may remain tender for a few hours.
How many sessions do I need?
It depends on the type of hair loss and your response. Dr. Alfonso defines the number of sessions and their frequency after the evaluation.
When are the results visible?
Hair grows slowly, so changes are assessed over months. Check-ups with trichoscopy make it possible to measure whether the treatment is working.
Does it work if I am already bald in one area?
PRP acts on follicles that are still active. If an area no longer has recoverable follicles, the alternative is to consider a hair transplant.
Is it the same as the Hair Protocol?
No. PRP can be one of the tools of the Hair Protocol, which combines different treatments adjusted to your diagnosis.
Can I do it after a transplant?
Yes, it can be recommended to support the care of the native hair. The right timing is decided by the doctor based on your progress.

Platelet-rich plasma within your protocol
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from your own blood: it is centrifuged to concentrate the platelets, which contain growth factors, and is applied to the scalp.
At Clínica Lumos, PRP can be one of the tools of the personalized Hair Protocol, combined with others according to your diagnosis. It is not prescribed on its own or the same way for everyone: Dr. Alfonso decides whether it is indicated, how many sessions and how often.
The evidence shows variable results between patients; that is why a prior diagnosis and follow-up with trichoscopy are key.
