WHAT IT IS

PRP Hair Restoration is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that uses Platelet-Rich Plasma — derived directly from your own blood — to stimulate hair follicle activity and encourage natural hair regrowth. PRP is rich in growth factors and proteins that signal dormant or weakened hair follicles to re-enter an active growth phase. Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction and the approach is considered extremely safe. It is effective for both men and women experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, receding hairlines, or general hair loss, and works best when follicles are still present but underperforming rather than fully dormant.

HOW IT WORKS

The PRP process involves three straightforward steps. First, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. That sample is then placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the blood into its components and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma. Finally, the concentrated PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp where thinning or hair loss is present. The growth factors in the PRP stimulate blood flow to the follicles, prolong the active hair growth phase, and encourage the production of thicker, stronger hair strands over time. A topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp before injections to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The entire appointment typically takes about one hour.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Most clients notice the first signs of improvement within 2 to 3 months of beginning their treatment series, with the most significant results appearing between 3 and 6 months. The initial improvement many clients notice is a reduction in hair shedding, followed by gradual increases in hair thickness, density, and overall scalp coverage. A series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, followed by maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months. There is virtually no downtime following each session. Mild redness or sensitivity on the scalp is normal and typically resolves within a few hours. Your provider will advise you to avoid washing your hair or applying products for 24 hours after treatment to allow the PRP to absorb fully.

LONG-LASTING RESULTS

PRP hair restoration produces gradual, natural-looking results that build over the course of your treatment series. Because the treatment stimulates your body's own biological processes, results continue to develop for months after each session. Maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months after your initial series are important to sustain the improvement and continue supporting follicle health over time. PRP can also be combined with other hair health strategies recommended by your provider, including topical treatments and scalp care protocols, for enhanced and longer-lasting outcomes.
