Your own biology is the most powerful treatment we offer.
Most treatments manage the loss. Hercue identifies what caused it, then uses your own biology to reverse it.
Why most treatments fall short.
Most treatments manage the symptom, not the cause. Topical serums hydrate and coat the surface but cannot reach the follicle. Minoxidil maintains what you have, but the moment you stop, you lose the ground you gained. It also carries documented side effects including scalp irritation, unwanted facial hair growth, and in some cases systemic effects on blood pressure. Hair transplants move existing follicles. They do not address why those follicles stopped producing in the first place.
PRP is different in one fundamental way. It uses your own biology to reactivate follicles that have slowed or stopped. No synthetic substance. No ongoing prescription. Two clients with the same pattern of loss can respond very differently. The difference is almost never the treatment. It is whether the root cause was identified before anything began. That is why every Hercue hair consultation starts with trichoscopy.
Two protocols. Both biology-first.
All treatments are done by certified physicians only. Every treatment begins with trichoscopy assessment and is fortified with red light therapy. No protocol is recommended before we understand the cause.
Natural PRP + Red Light Therapy
Foundations Protocol
Your own platelet-rich plasma with no additives or synthetic agents, fortified with red light therapy to increase follicular blood circulation. The most appropriate starting point for early to moderate thinning, post-partum loss, and stress-related shedding.
CHF 250 per session
Booster PRP + Red Light Therapy
Enhanced Protocol
Higher platelet concentration combined with low-level light therapy for maximum follicular stimulation. Designed for more advanced thinning or clients seeking accelerated results. Clinical studies show combined protocols consistently outperform either treatment alone.
CHF 350 per session
What the research actually shows.
A meta-analysis of 17 clinical trial groups showed PRP increases hair density by approximately 25%, from an average of 141 to 177 hairs per cm². Studies measuring client satisfaction consistently favour PRP over topical Minoxidil, particularly for hair density outcomes.

PRP delivers the most consistent results for androgenetic alopecia pattern hair loss in both men and women. It also shows strong results for post-partum shedding, stress-related loss, and alopecia areata in early to moderate stages.
A word on expectations
PRP works best when follicles are still active and responsive. Part of the initial consultation is determining whether yours are. If they are not, we will tell you honestly and discuss what options remain. We do not treat clients who will not benefit.
Common questions.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients begin with 3 to 4 sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The number depends on your pattern of loss and how your follicles respond. We assess progress at each session and adjust accordingly.
When will I see results?
Results begin to show from month 2 as follicles re-enter the active growth phase. Peak density is typically reached between months 4 and 6. Trichoscopy at the end of your protocol documents the measurable improvement.
Is PRP painful?
Most clients describe mild pressure during the microinjections. Mild scalp tenderness may persist for 24 to 48 hours. There is no recovery period.
Can I combine PRP with Minoxidil?
Yes. Some clients continue Minoxidil during their PRP protocol. Your initial trichoscopy assessment helps determine whether your current routine is supporting your follicles or simply maintaining a dependency without treating the root cause.
What is the difference between androgenetic alopecia in men and women?
In men, androgenetic alopecia typically presents as recession at the temples and thinning at the crown. In women, it most commonly presents as diffuse thinning across the crown without a receding hairline. The underlying hormonal mechanisms differ, which is part of why presentation and treatment response can differ between men and women.
Is PRP suitable for alopecia areata?
PRP shows promising results for alopecia areata in early to moderate stages. It is less predictable than for androgenetic alopecia. The initial consultation and trichoscopy assessment will determine whether your presentation is likely to respond.
