PRP Maintenance Programs in Edmonton

Support your follicle health and protect your scalp with our comprehensive PRP maintenance programs. At the Canadian Hair Transplant Centre, our memberships are designed to build momentum throughout your hair loss journey.

Enhancing Your Hair Health After Your Initial PRP Series

The results of your initial PRP series won’t sustain themselves without continued treatment. At the Canadian Hair Transplant Centre, our PRP maintenance programs give patients in Edmonton a structured, clinically managed pathway for building on the benefits of their treatment over the long term.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a concentrated preparation of growth factors and platelets derived from your own blood to stimulate follicle activity in areas of active thinning. A PRP maintenance program includes PRP sessions at regular intervals calibrated to your individual response, sustaining the biological stimulus that supports follicle health and slowing the progression of androgenetic hair loss.

Why Choose the Canadian Hair Transplant Centre?

The Canadian Hair Transplant Centre is the only practice in Alberta dedicated exclusively to hair restoration, with a fully operational location. All programs are developed by our founder, Dr. Anil Sharma, a registered physician with over 15 years of experience in hair restoration. He works alongside our team of licensed nurses and technicians to manage all PRP maintenance programs in accordance with protocols established by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).

At our a CPSA-approved clinic, we use cutting-edge TrichoScan imaging to track your progress and ensure your program is meeting your clinical and aesthetic goals. Every treatment is performed in a properly credentialed environment with appropriate clinical oversight at every visit.

What to Expect From Your PRP Maintenance Program in Edmonton

Determining Your Maintenance Schedule

After completing your initial PRP series, Dr. Sharma will assess your follicular response using TrichoScan imaging to determine the appropriate maintenance session schedule. Most patients transition to a session every four to six months, though this varies based on the rate of your hair loss and your scalp’s response to treatment.

Blood Draw and Plasma Preparation

At each maintenance visit, one of our nurses will draw a small blood sample and process it through a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma component. The preparation process is identical across all sessions, ensuring consistent quality and concentration of the growth factor payload delivered to your scalp at our clinic.

Scalp Injection at Each Maintenance Visit

During your procedure, Dr. Sharma will systematically inject the concentrated plasma into the identified treatment zones using a fine needle, targeting the follicular depth beneath the scalp. We apply the following standards to every PRP maintenance session to ensure consistent clinical delivery:

Injections will be distributed evenly across the active thinning zones identified at your most recent TrichoScan assessment
Treatment zone mapping will be updated at each visit to reflect any changes in the distribution of follicular activity
The volume of plasma prepared will be calibrated to the surface area being treated
Session duration is typically 30-45 minutes from blood draw through to the final injection

Integration With Your Broader Treatment Plan

A PRP maintenance program in Edmonton doesn’t exist in isolation. We’ll coordinate your PRP sessions with any other treatments included in your broader hair loss management plan to ensure consistent, safe, and effective intervention. Complementary approaches that may be scheduled alongside your PRP maintenance at our Edmonton location include the following:

Exosome therapy, which may be delivered in the same session as PRP to provide a broader regenerative stimulus
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) between PRP visits to support scalp circulation on an ongoing basis
Prescription medication management, with reviews scheduled to align with your PRP maintenance visit dates
Microneedling sessions, timed to enhance topical medication absorption in the days following each PRP treatment

A Membership Tailored to You

Your PRP maintenance program will be structured around your individual response to treatment, your rate of hair loss progression, and the other therapies included in your treatment plan. As TrichoScan data accumulates across visits, our team will use that information to adjust your session intervals, modify the targeted treatment zones, and determine whether additional therapies should be incorporated to sustain your results.

Your Follow-Up Process

After each PRP maintenance session, Dr. Sharma will provide guidance on what to expect in the days that follow and confirm your next scheduled visit. Your ongoing follow-up process will include the following:

TrichoScan assessments at regular intervals to compare your current follicular density against your documented baseline
Clinical photography at each visit to track visible changes in coverage and hair shaft quality
A review of your maintenance interval to confirm it remains appropriate based on your observed response
Prescription reviews aligned with your PRP visit schedule, if medical therapy is part of your broader plan
Assessment of any changes in shedding, density, or scalp health reported since the previous visit
Recommendations for any adjustments to your maintenance program based on clinical findings

Our team is accessible at our Edmonton location for any questions that arise between scheduled visits.

Transformative, Natural-Looking Results

Patients who adhere consistently to a structured PRP maintenance program typically sustain the follicular improvements achieved during their initial treatment series. TrichoScan assessments at each review appointment provide objective confirmation of whether the program is effectively maintaining follicular density, enabling timely adjustments before any new progression becomes significant.

PRP Maintenance Programs Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when it’s time to start a PRP maintenance program?

Our team will assess your follicular response at the conclusion of your initial PRP series using TrichoScan imaging. If the data confirms a meaningful improvement in follicular density, a maintenance program will be recommended to sustain those results before the effects of the initial series begin to diminish.

Can I reduce my PRP maintenance sessions if my hair loss has stabilised?

Yes. If TrichoScan assessments confirm sustained follicular stability over several consecutive visits, we may recommend extending the interval between sessions. Frequency decisions are always based on clinical data rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule applied to every patient.

Is a PRP maintenance program suitable after a hair transplant?

Yes. PRP treatments are frequently recommended following hair transplantation to support the health of non-transplanted native hair. Dr. Sharma will advise on appropriate timing based on your post-surgical recovery progress and the condition of the non-transplanted zones.

What happens if I miss a scheduled PRP maintenance session?

Missing an occasional session is unlikely to cause a significant setback, but prolonged gaps between treatments can allow the benefits of prior sessions to diminish. Our team will assess your follicular density at your next visit and advise whether any adjustment to your maintenance schedule is warranted based on the data.
