In the last decade, PRP has emerged as an effective option for people looking for non-surgical solutions to problems such as hair loss, facial rejuvenation, and osteoarthritis. While research continues into the restorative abilities of PRP, it already has a range of applications. But what exactly is PRP, and how does it work?
Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a concentration of platelets obtained from whole blood. Platelets are best known for their role in blood clotting and tissue repair. When used in regenerative medicine, they harness the body’s natural healing capabilities.
Platelets contain proteins called growth factors that initiate cell repair and accelerate healing. That’s why PRP is so effective for healing injuries.
PRP contains 5 to 10 times more growth factors than typically found in the blood, and that’s why it creates a rapid healing response.
PRP has traditionally been used in orthopedics to help with osteoarthritis and injuries affecting the nerves, tendons, and ligaments. However, it has attracted attention in other areas like hair loss because of its ability to stimulate new cell growth.
The PRP serum is made using a simple centrifugation process. A blood sample is taken and then placed in a centrifuge and spun at high speed. This process separates the platelets from the rest of the blood. The platelets are combined with plasma and injected into the areas of the body being treated.

PRP has been used to successfully treat male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Hair loss occurs when the hair follicles shrink over time. PRP injections stop hair loss and regrow hair for both men and women by repairing damaged tissue in the hair follicles.
When PRP is injected into the thinning areas of the scalp, it releases growth factors that revitalize dormant hair follicles.
It may take 3 or more treatments done 4-6 weeks apart to achieve the desired hair regrowth.
The results achieved with PRP for hair loss will vary from patient to patient as it depends on your body’s healing abilities.
We will perform an evaluation to identify the cause of your hair issues before determining if you would be a good candidate for PRP therapy for hair loss.
You should notice an increase in the number of hairs about 1-3 months after PRP treatment, but maximum results can take up to 6 months to appear. Additional treatments may be necessary to reach your aesthetic goals and your unique treatment plan will be determined during your consultation.
PRP is derived from your blood, so there is no risk of an allergic or immune reaction to the treatment.
PRP therapy addresses the root cause of hair loss by stimulating the dormant hair follicles. PRP not only promotes hair growth, it also strengthens shrinking hair follicles to slow hair loss. Best of all, PRP can be customized to ensure that you get the best possible aesthetic outcome.
