Aesthetics & Rejuvenation
PRP hair restoration uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, placed in the scalp, to help wake up weakened hair follicles. It may slow shedding and support thicker-looking hair for men and women with thinning hair.
Who it helps
Men and women with thinning hair
Sessions
Usually 3–4, about a month apart
Downtime
Usually none
Is it right for me?
PRP works best while follicles are still active. It is less likely to help completely bald areas or scarring types of hair loss. It is not suitable with a scalp infection, a blood or platelet disorder, or certain blood thinners, or during pregnancy. We check for causes such as thyroid problems, low iron, low vitamin D and hormone changes, because treating these may matter as much as PRP.
1
We look at your scalp and pattern of hair loss, review your history and check labs if needed.
2
A small amount of blood is drawn and spun to make PRP.
3
The scalp is numbed for comfort.
4
PRP is placed across the thinning areas of the scalp with fine injections or microneedling. The visit takes about an hour.
In pattern hair loss, follicles gradually shrink and produce thinner, shorter hairs. Growth factors in PRP may help support blood flow and signal follicles to stay in their growth phase longer.
Made only from your own blood.
Aims to strengthen follicles that are thinning, rather than create new follicles.
Can be combined with minoxidil, prescription medicines and nutritional support.
We also look at thyroid, iron, vitamin D and hormones, which can affect hair.
