PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate growth factors, and injecting the PRP directly into areas of thinning hair.

These growth factors promote:

• Stronger, healthier hair follicles
  
• Increased hair thickness
  
• Improved hair density
  
• Reduced shedding
  
• Enhanced blood supply to follicles
  
• Prolonged hair-growth phase
  

PRP is safe, natural, and minimally invasive.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

PRP is effective for:

• Early-stage male & female pattern hair loss
  
• Postpartum shedding
  
• Thinning edges and part line
  
• Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium)
  
• Thinning due to aging
  
• Patients using oral or topical treatments who want enhanced results
  

PRP works best before complete follicle loss.

How PRP Works

1. Blood Collection

A small tube of blood is drawn from your arm.

2. PRP Processing

The sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate plasma rich in growth factors.

3. Scalp Injections

Your provider injects PRP into areas of thinning for maximum follicle stimulation.

4. Regrowth Phase

PRP nutrients help strengthen and reactivate miniaturized follicles over time.

Most patients notice improvement within 3–6 months.

Treatment Frequency

A common treatment schedule is:

• 1 session every 4–6 weeks × 3–4 sessions
  
  
• Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months
  
  

Your dermatologist will customize your plan based on severity and goals.
