What Is PRP Therapy?

PRP is Platelet-Rich Plasma, a product present in your blood. It is a nutrient-dense fluid that stimulates cellular regeneration within microenvironments like hair follicles, joints, and the skin. Platelets are robust cells that contain numerous growth factors involved in essential healing processes.

If you are one of the millions affected by hair loss, you are likely looking for a solution that meets your needs. We are proud to offer this emergent treatment that has quickly developed a proven track record of success in hair restoration.

How it Works: PRP treatment stimulates activity in hair follicles, prompting an active phase of growth in dormant follicles and supporting the survival of newly implanted hair.

Essential Growth Factors

Behind the scenes, PRP facilitates sophisticated physiological responses through various concentrated growth factors:

  • PDGF
    Platelet-Derived Growth Factor for cell regeneration and blood vessel growth.
  • VEGF
    Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor involved in forming new blood vessels.
  • FGF-2
    Fibroblast Growth Factor to generate specialized healing and rejuvenation cells.
  • EGF
    Epidermal Growth Factor to stimulate collagen proliferation and cell growth.

Methods of Introduction

  • Microneedling
    Creates micro-wounds to superficial tissue. PRP is applied topically where it penetrates the scalp through these channels to deliver stimulating nutrients.
  • Precision Injection
    A popular technique where blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate platelets. The resulting PRP is meticulously injected into thinning areas of the scalp every half-inch.
  • Efficient Session
    Treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes. Injections are conducted with a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Healing & Aftercare

In most cases, there is zero downtime after PRP hair treatment. Because injections stimulate a natural inflammatory cascade to repair tissue, you will be advised on how to manage comfort without interfering with the process.

Comfort Management:

Patients are advised NOT to take any kind of anti-inflammatory medication to manage comfort, as this can blunt the regenerative response. Our staff will discuss appropriate alternatives during your session.

Why PRP?

  • Completely Organic
    The product is harvested from your own blood, making it biocompatible and safe.
  • Safe & Convenient
    In-office treatment with no surgical downtime or extensive recovery periods.
  • Versatile Pairing
    Can be a sole treatment or used alongside Minoxidil or hair restoration surgery.
