Hair loss is a common concern that affects both men and women, impacting not just appearance but confidence and self-esteem. Thanks to medical advancements, there are now scientifically backed, non-surgical options to combat hair thinning and boost hair regrowth.
Two of the most popular treatments offered at Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s Clinic in Islamabad are:
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
But a common question patients ask is:
“Which is better for hair loss—Laser Therapy or PRP?”
Let’s break it down so you can make an informed decision tailored to your hair goals.
Understanding PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood. The plasma, rich in growth factors, is extracted and injected directly into the scalp. These growth factors stimulate hair follicles, promote blood flow, and trigger natural hair regrowth.
PRP is especially effective for:
- Early stages of androgenetic alopecia
- Postpartum hair loss
- Thinning crowns and receding hairlines
- Enhancing hair transplant results
Treatment Protocol:
Typically, PRP is done in 3–4 monthly sessions, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months.
How Does Laser Therapy Work?
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) uses red light wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity in hair follicles. This increases energy production in cells, boosts blood circulation, and prolongs the growth (anagen) phase of the hair cycle.
Laser Therapy is:
- Painless, non-invasive, and requires no needles
- Ideal for men and women with mild to moderate thinning
- Safe for long-term use
- Suitable for those who prefer a non-injection-based treatment
Treatment Protocol:
LLLT is typically performed 2–3 times a week over a period of 3–6 months, using in-clinic laser hoods or medical-grade laser caps.
PRP vs. Laser Therapy – Which is Better?
There’s no universal answer—it depends on your hair type, stage of hair loss, and treatment goals. Here’s a quick comparison:
| Feature | PRP Therapy | Laser Therapy (LLLT) |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive (injections) | Non-invasive (no needles) |
| Pain Level | Mild discomfort | Completely painless |
| Ideal For | Early to moderate hair loss | Mild to moderate thinning |
| Visible Results Timeline | 3–4 months | 3–6 months |
| Sessions Required | Monthly (initially) | 2–3 times/week |
| Natural Growth Boost | High | Moderate to High |
| Maintenance | Every 4–6 months | Ongoing use |
