PRP Hair Restoration
Targeted scalp injections of concentrated platelet-rich plasma to stimulate dormant follicles, increase hair density, and slow hair loss — non-surgical, effective, and entirely your own biology.

Hair loss is rarely about follicles that are gone — it's most often about follicles that have become dormant. PRP hair restoration works by delivering concentrated growth factors directly to the scalp, reactivating dormant follicles, extending the hair growth cycle, and improving the overall health of the scalp environment.
The treatment begins with a small blood draw. Your blood is centrifuged to produce platelet-rich plasma — a concentrate containing 3–5 times the normal platelet concentration. This PRP is then injected at the level of the hair follicles across the treatment area, delivering a potent regenerative signal directly where it's needed.
PRP hair restoration is effective for both men and women experiencing androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), diffuse thinning, or early-stage hair loss. It is a non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical option that works with your body's own biology — no medications, no downtime, no foreign substances.
Reactivating the follicle growth cycle
- Follicle Stimulation
- Growth factors in PRP — particularly PDGF, VEGF, and IGF-1 — directly stimulate hair follicle stem cells and dermal papilla cells, the key regulators of the hair growth cycle. This reactivates dormant follicles and promotes the transition from the resting (telogen) phase to the active growth (anagen) phase.
- Anagen Phase Extension
- PRP growth factors extend the duration of the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. Longer anagen phases mean longer, thicker hair strands and reduced shedding. Over a series of treatments, this produces a measurable increase in hair density and shaft diameter.
- Scalp Vascularization
- VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) in PRP stimulates the formation of new blood vessels in the scalp. Improved blood supply delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles — creating a healthier scalp environment that supports sustained hair growth.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effect
- Chronic low-grade scalp inflammation is a contributing factor in many forms of hair loss. PRP's anti-inflammatory properties help reduce this inflammation, creating a more favorable environment for follicle health and hair growth.

Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?
- Men and women with androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss)
- Those experiencing diffuse thinning or early-stage hair loss
- Individuals who prefer a non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical approach
- Patients who have plateaued with topical treatments (minoxidil, etc.)
- Those seeking to complement existing hair loss treatments
- Anyone with a healthy scalp and realistic expectations for gradual improvement
- Patients who want to slow hair loss progression before it advances
Common questions
- How many PRP hair restoration sessions will I need?
- The standard initial protocol is 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Most patients begin to notice reduced shedding and early density improvement after the second or third session. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are recommended to sustain results, as hair loss is an ongoing process.
- When will I see results?
- Hair restoration results develop gradually. Most patients notice reduced shedding within 2–3 months of starting treatment. Visible density improvement typically becomes apparent at 3–6 months. Full results from an initial treatment series are usually seen at 6–9 months. Patience and consistency are key — hair growth is a slow biological process.
- Is PRP hair restoration effective for all types of hair loss?
- PRP is most effective for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and diffuse thinning in both men and women. It is less effective for scarring alopecia (where follicles have been permanently destroyed) or complete baldness in an area. A consultation and scalp assessment will determine whether PRP is appropriate for your specific type and stage of hair loss.
- Is the treatment painful?
- A topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp before treatment. The injections are performed with fine needles and are generally well-tolerated with numbing. Most patients describe mild pressure or a brief stinging sensation. Post-treatment, mild scalp tenderness and swelling are common for 24–48 hours.
- Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments?
- Yes — PRP is highly complementary to minoxidil, finasteride, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and other hair loss treatments. It works through different mechanisms and can enhance the overall response when used alongside other approaches. Your clinician will discuss the most appropriate combination for your situation.
- How long do PRP hair restoration results last?
- Results from a full initial treatment series typically last 12–18 months. Because hair loss is an ongoing process, maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are recommended to sustain density and continue stimulating follicle health. Patients who maintain consistent treatment tend to see the best long-term outcomes.
