Hair Restoration (PRP)

Hair Restoration (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be beneficial when you suffer from hair loss. PRP treatments for hair restoration promote the health of shrinking hair follicles, slowing down hair loss. PRP treatments may even result in new hair growth in some cases.

A PRP treatment uses your blood platelets to stimulate natural hair growth. After blood is drawn from the patient, it is spun in a centrifuge for several minutes-plasma binds with other reparative elements during spinning. The PRP solution stimulates hair follicle growth via microneedling or scalp injections. PRP can be a very effective natural way to promote healthy hair growth. Patients usually undergo three sessions separated by five to six weeks. To maintain therapy results, patients should attend one effective session every 4-6 months.

Benefits of Hair Restoration with PRP include:

  • Convenient procedure without surgery
  • All-natural hair loss treatment
  • Little to no downtime involved
  • High success rate and patient satisfaction
  • No major side effects
  • Customizable treatment
  • Long-lasting hair growth results
