PRP hair restoration is a natural, autologous treatment for hair restoration. This treatment involves using platelet-rich plasmas (PRPs) to facilitate hair regrowth and reverse the effects of alopecia. Hair is a marker of beauty, and the gradual loss of hair causes significant anxiety and self-esteem issues. We provide the highly-personalized PRP hair restoration to awaken your dormant hair follicles and stimulate hair regrowth, helping you achieve a dense and luscious head of hair.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
To understand how PRP hair restoration works, you must understand the basics of PRP. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated serum drawn from a small sample of your blood. It contains a high concentration of growth factors, the components responsible for most of the growth processes and healing activities in your body, such as cellular regeneration, blood clotting, tissue healing, and collagen production. Since it’s drawn from your body, there’s no risk of an infection or allergic reaction.
Hair loss and thinning hair usually occur because some of the hair follicles in your scalp become dormant, i.e., they can’t progress through the natural cycles of hair growth. When PRP is injected into the scalp, it stimulates the production of new stem cells in the roots of the dormant hair follicles. PRP also facilitates the formation of new blood vessels and improves blood circulation to the scalp, which essentially awakens the dormant hair follicles, reversing the effects of alopecia.
Candidates for PRP Hair Restoration:
- Are experiencing the early stages of alopecia
- Want to stop hair loss in its track
- Want natural, non-invasive techniques to stop hair loss
- Are physically and mentally healthy
- Don’t have underlying medical conditions that preclude treatment
- Have realistic expectations from the procedure
- Don’t have a history of blood disorders or diseases
The PRP Hair Restoration Process
PRP hair restoration is a simple, in-office procedure. The medical provider draws a small sample of your blood from your arm via a syringe. The blood sample is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the golden-colored PRP, which rises to the top of the vial. The medical provider marks the targeted treatment areas on your scalp and applies a numbing gel. Finally, the PRP serum is carefully injected into your scalp, where it stimulates hair regrowth.
Side Effects & Downtime
PRP hair restoration may cause mild post-treatment redness, swelling, irritation, and bruising around the treatment areas. These side effects are common to all injectable treatments. There is no downtime, so you can resume your daily routine immediately after the treatment. You can also resume showering.
Results: Onset & Longevity
Most patients notice improvements in their hair density and strength a few months after the first treatment. You may need a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced a month apart for optimal results. After the first round of treatments, you may need 1 or 2 maintenance treatments per year.
PRP Hair Restoration FAQs:
Is PRP hair restoration suitable for all types of hair loss?
PRP hair restoration is most effective for individuals experiencing hair thinning, early-stage hair loss, or androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). It may not be as effective for those with complete baldness or advanced hair loss.
How long does a PRP treatment session take?
A PRP hair restoration session typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. This includes drawing a small amount of blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into the scalp. There is no downtime involved.
How soon can I wash my hair after a PRP treatment?
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before washing your hair after a PRP session. This allows the treatment to fully absorb into the scalp. After the first wash, gentle shampoos without harsh chemicals or sulfates are advised to avoid irritation.
Can PRP hair restoration help with postpartum hair loss?
Yes, PRP therapy can be beneficial for postpartum hair loss. Many women experience shedding after childbirth due to hormonal changes. PRP injections help stimulate hair follicles, encouraging regrowth and thickening of the hair over time.
Is PRP treatment painful?
PRP treatment is generally well-tolerated. Most patients experience mild discomfort during the injections, similar to a slight pinching sensation. A topical numbing cream may be used to minimize discomfort. Any soreness or tenderness is typically mild and temporary.
