PRP therapy uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, improve density, and slow hair loss. At MDCS Dermatology, Dr. Michael Tassavor offers personalized PRP treatments to restore thicker, healthier hair.
Hair loss affects millions of men and women, often impacting confidence and quality of life. While topical treatments and medications can help, many patients are searching for regenerative solutions that address hair thinning at the source. At MDCS Dermatology, Michael Tassavor, MD, MS offers platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a groundbreaking treatment that uses the body’s own healing mechanisms to stimulate hair growth.
What Is PRP for Hair Loss?
PRP is created by drawing a small amount of a patient’s blood and processing it to separate out the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These concentrated platelets are then injected into the scalp, where they stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood flow, and promote thicker, healthier hair.
What the Science Says
Clinical studies show that PRP can improve hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and other forms of thinning. Research suggests:
-
Increased number of hairs per square centimeter after multiple sessions.
-
Improved hair shaft thickness.
-
Slowed progression of hair loss when used consistently.
PRP is particularly effective when combined with other treatments, such as topical minoxidil or oral finasteride, making it a versatile option in a comprehensive hair restoration plan.
What to Expect from Treatment
A typical session lasts about 30–45 minutes, with minimal downtime. Most patients undergo a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a month apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months. Results vary, but many patients notice reduced shedding and visible regrowth within several months.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP works best for individuals in the earlier stages of hair thinning, when follicles are still viable. It may be less effective for patients with complete baldness, but it can still improve scalp health and prevent further progression.
