PRP Hair Restoration

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting the patient's own platelets into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. PRP hair restoration has risen in popularity in recent years as a natural alternative to hair transplants or medications. People choose to get PRP injections as a preventive measure against hair loss or to induce regrowth where thinning has already begun.

What to Expect

PRP hair restoration treatments are common, low-risk procedures that have minimal, if any, negative side effects beyond a temporary soreness at the injection site. The doctor will also discuss the process, potential complications, and any symptoms to watch for during the consultation so that you feel fully prepared.

Still, if you’ve never had a PRP hair restoration treatment before, knowing what to expect in advance, step-by-step, can help calm any nerves. 

Here's what can typically be expected during a PRP hair restoration treatment: 

  1. 1. Blood draw: A small amount of your blood will be drawn, usually from your arm.
  2. 2. Preparation: Your blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
  3. 3. Scalp preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned and may be numbed with a local anesthetic.
  4. 4. Injection: The plasma is injected into the targeted areas of your scalp using a fine needle.
  5. 5. Massage: The doctor may gently massage your scalp to equally distribute the PRP.
  6. 6. Completion: The treatment is repeated until all targeted areas have been injected, which usually takes 60-90 minutes.
  7. 7. Aftercare: You'll receive instructions for post-treatment care, which may include avoiding hair treatments or vigorous scalp massage for a few days.

After the treatment, most patients report minimal discomfort and can return to normal activities right away.

What Can PRP Hair Restoration Do for You?

While results vary, many patients report seeing significant improvements in hair density, fullness, and quality after undergoing a course of 3-6 PRP treatments. The non-invasive nature, quick recovery time, and impressive results make PRP a desirable alternative to more invasive hair loss treatments like hair transplants and can help you achieve the following with proper maintenance: 

  • • Increased hair thickness and fullness: One of the main benefits of PRP is thicker, more voluminous hair growth. The growth factors in PRP stimulate follicles to produce thicker, fuller strands of hair, making areas that have experienced thinning or balding appear denser.

  • • Hair regrowth: PRP can stimulate regrowth in areas of the scalp that have experienced moderate hair loss. Regrowth is most noticeable in the frontal and crown regions.

  • • Slowed hair loss: The proteins and growth factors in PRP are thought to prolong the growth phase of hair. This helps counteract the shrinking of follicles that causes male and female pattern baldness. Ongoing treatments can prevent future hair loss.

  • • Improved hair quality: PRP improves the overall health and quality of hair. Hair feels and looks stronger, smoother, and shinier after treatments with reduced breakage.

  • • Natural results: Since PRP utilizes the patient's own plasma, results look natural.
