PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment uses your body's natural growth factors to reactivate dormant hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth.

Here's the process: we draw a small amount of your blood (similar to a routine blood test), spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, then quickly inject the platelet-rich plasma directly into thinning areas of your scalp.

These concentrated platelets contain powerful growth factors that wake up sleeping follicles, improve blood flow to your scalp, and trigger your hair's natural growth cycle. This quick process is completely natural, non-surgical, and clinically proven to increase hair density and thickness in both men and women.

Your PRP appointment takes 60 minutes and is designed to be comfortable and informative.

Here's what happens:

Consultation & Scalp Analysis (15-20 min): After discussing your goals, and background, we use our advanced microscopic camera to examine your follicle health and create a baseline for tracking your progress.

Blood Draw (5 min): Just like a routine blood test—quick and easy.

Processing (10 min): While you relax, we spin your blood to concentrate the platelets.

Treatment (3-5 min): We inject the PRP into targeted thinning areas. Most patients rate discomfort as 3-4 out of 10.

Aftercare Discussion: We review your personalized treatment plan and next steps.

You can go right back to your day - no one will know you've had anything done. You'll leave with a clear roadmap for your hair growth journey.

PRP works with your hair's natural growth cycle, which can take up to 6 months. There are no overnight magic solutions when it comes to real hair regrowth. Here's what to expect:

Month 1-2: PRP is working beneath the surface, activating dormant follicles and triggering your hair's growth phase. You might not see visible changes yet, but the biological process has begun.

Month 3: Many patients notice reduced hair shedding—less hair in the shower drain or on your pillow. This is usually the first sign PRP is working.

Month 4-6: Visible thickness and density improvements become noticeable. You'll see baby hairs along your hairline, fuller coverage in thinning areas, and improved hair texture.

Month 6+: Continued improvement with maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to sustain and build on your results.

The wait is worth it. PRP doesn't fight your hair's biology, it enhances it, leading to sustainable, real hair growth that lasts.

PRP is one of the safest hair restoration treatments because it uses your own blood; there's virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

What you WON'T experience: No systemic side effects, no sexual dysfunction, no chemical reactions, and no scarring. Because PRP is autologous (from your own body), serious complications are extremely rare. You're simply giving your follicles a natural boost with your body's own healing factors.

Common (temporary) effects: Mild scalp tenderness, slight redness, or minor swelling for 1-2 days. Some patients experience light bruising at injection sites.

Rare effects: Temporary increased shedding in weeks 2-4 (this is actually positive—old hairs making room for new growth), mild headache on treatment day, or slight itching as healing occurs.

PRP involves minimal discomfort, and we have many ways to make you feel comfortable. Most patients rate the discomfort as 2-4 out of 10. The actual injections take only 3-5 minutes, so any discomfort is brief.

We use several comfort techniques: a touch of lidocaine, a cooling spray, and strategic injection techniques to minimize sensation. For patients who are needle-sensitive or anxious, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to help you relax throughout the procedure.

The most common feedback we hear? "That was easier than I expected." The anticipation is usually worse than the actual experience.

No downtime - you can return to work and resume most normal activities immediately after treatment.

Some patients experience mild redness, tenderness, or slight swelling at injection sites for 1-2 days, similar to after a deep facial treatment. These effects are typically gone within 24 hours.

What to avoid for 24-48 hours: Intense exercise, saunas, hot yoga, or excessive sweating to optimize healing and keep injection sites clean.

What you CAN do: Gentle hair washing the next day, normal styling, work, social activities, and light exercise. Most patients schedule their appointments during lunch breaks or after work with zero disruption to their routine.

PRP works best if you have thinning hair but aren't completely bald. The key is having viable hair follicles that can be reactivated—even if they're producing thin, weak hair currently.

Ideal candidates include:
- Men with male pattern baldness (receding hairline, crown thinning, temple recession)
- Women with female pattern hair loss (widening part, overall thinning, reduced density)
- Anyone with stress-related hair loss, telogen effluvium, or postpartum shedding
- People who want to strengthen existing hair and prevent further loss

Not sure if you're a candidate? Book a free in-person consultation with scalp analysis where we'll examine your follicle health with our microscopic camera and give you an honest assessment.

PRP offers distinct advantages over other hair loss solutions (and also works well in combination with most other treatments):

Vs. Hair Transplants: PRP is non-surgical with zero downtime and no scarring, while transplants require surgery and weeks of recovery. PRP stimulates your existing follicles rather than relocating hair.

Vs. Minoxidil/Topical Treatments: No daily application required. PRP sessions are just 3-4 times per year versus twice-daily applications forever. Minoxidil has been clinically proven to get better results with paired with PRP.

Vs. Oral Medications: PRP has no systemic side effects or sexual dysfunction risks. It works locally on your scalp without affecting your hormones. Any DHT blockers, can help stave off even more hair loss when combined with PRP.

The Best Part: PRP works excellently alone or combined with medications, supplements, or topical treatments for even better results. Many of our clients combine PRP with our prescription and product protocols for maximum hair restoration.
