What is Platelet-Rich Plasma Hair Therapy (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a procedure of hair rejuvenation where platelets are harvested from the patient’s own blood and injected throughout the scalp. PRP contains growth factors that help to repair damaged hair follicles, therefore helping to promote the regrowth of thicker, stronger, and healthier hair.

Highly concentrated growth factors have been shown to generate new hair growth, thicken existing hair shafts and encourage longer, healthier hair. If the hair follicles or hair roots are healthy, the growth of the hair is healthy. Hair follicles survive on the nutrition they receive from the blood supply.

How does Platelet-Rich Plasma Hair Therapy (PRP) work?

PRP Therapy is very similar to having a routine blood test. A small amount of blood is collected from the patient’s arm.

After the blood is collected, it is placed in a sterile container. The container is then placed in a centrifuge which concentrates the growth factors leaving red blood cells at the bottom and the plasma at the top.

The PRP that contains the abundant growth factors and healing agents are then injected back into the patient’s scalp, targeting the areas where his or her current hair growth is diminishing.

A special follow-up regimen will help ensure that you receive the maximum possible hair restoration results, which could include vitamin supplements, micro-needling and/or low-level laser hair therapy. Our clinical staff will go over a customized treatment plan to ensure maximum hair rejuvenation.
