The PRP Procedure
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. The treatment begins with drawing a small amount of your own blood, usually from your arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is separated into layers. The platelet-rich plasma — the most beneficial portion — is carefully extracted and injected into targeted areas of the scalp using a fine needle. In some cases, micro needling may also be used to enhance absorption and results.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it is a natural treatment with no added chemicals.
How PRP Works
The platelet-rich plasma contains powerful growth factors that stimulate healing and regeneration within the scalp. These growth factors encourage collagen production, improve blood flow, and activate hair follicle cells.
This process helps:
-
Reactivate weakened or dormant follicles
-
Strengthen existing hair
-
Support new hair growth
-
Improve overall scalp health
What You Can Expect Over Time
PRP is done as a series of treatments, and results improve gradually with each session.
Over time, many patients notice:
-
Thicker, fuller hair in thinning areas
-
Improved density and volume
-
Reduced shedding
-
Soft regrowth in areas of early hair loss
-
A healthier scalp overall
As the hair improves, many clients also report a noticeable boost in confidence.
PRP Hair Restoration
A Science-Backed Approach to Hair Loss for Men and Women
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to support hair restoration using your body’s own natural healing factors. It is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or hair loss.
PRP contains a high concentration of platelets, which release growth factors that stimulate and support hair follicles. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors help to stimulate dormant follicles, increase blood flow, strengthen hair roots, improve thickness and density, reduce shedding, and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle.
Important growth factors involved include VEGF, EGF, IGF-1, and fibroblast growth factors. These play a key role in cell regeneration, tissue repair, and follicle stimulation. PRP also promotes collagen production and new blood vessel formation, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
How PRP Helps Women
PRP is especially beneficial for women experiencing diffuse thinning, postpartum hair loss, hormonal-related hair thinning, and early-stage female pattern hair loss.
Women often experience overall thinning rather than a receding hairline. PRP helps improve density, strengthen fragile hair, and restore volume while maintaining a natural look. It can also improve hair texture, shine, and overall scalp health.
Clinical Evidence
PRP has been studied in multiple clinical trials with positive outcomes. A 2017 study showed increased hair thickness and new growth compared to placebo. A 2015 study demonstrated improved hair density and stronger roots. A 2014 study showed increased hair growth, improved follicle strength, and reduced shedding.
These studies support PRP as a safe and effective option for many individuals experiencing hair loss.
Who Is PRP Best For
PRP is most effective for men and women with androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss), early to moderate thinning, and those who still have active hair follicles.
It may be less effective for advanced hair loss, which will be discussed during consultation.
Is PRP Right for You
A consultation is required before treatment to determine the cause of hair loss and ensure PRP is appropriate.
Assessment may include medical history, hair loss history, stress and lifestyle factors, nutritional status, scalp assessment, and lab work if needed.
What to Expect During Treatment
A small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then extracted and injected into the scalp using a fine needle.
The procedure is quick, well-tolerated, and requires little to no downtime.
Treatment Plan
Initial treatments are typically done once per month for three sessions. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 4 to 6 months. Some patients may require additional sessions depending on their needs.
When Will You See Results
Hair restoration is gradual. Most patients notice reduced shedding within a few months and visible improvement in thickness and density within 3 to 6 months. Results continue to improve with ongoing treatments.
Downtime
There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.
PRP and Other Treatments
PRP is a supportive treatment and does not replace proven therapies such as Minoxidil or DHT blockers. It can be combined with these treatments for enhanced results. PRP can also improve healing and outcomes when used alongside hair transplant procedures.
