How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP hair restoration works by utilizing the body's own healing properties to stimulate hair growth. First, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting PRP solution, rich in growth factors, is then injected into the scalp. These growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, enhance blood flow, and promote cellular regeneration. This process encourages the natural growth cycle of hair, leading to thicker, healthier hair over time.
Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration:
- Non-surgical with minimal downtime
- Utilizes your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions

- Safe and well-tolerated with few side effects
- Effective for both men and women with various types of hair loss
- Can be combined with other hair restoration treatments
- Promotes overall scalp health and rejuvenation
- Results are typically seen within a few months of treatment
What Happens During PRP Hair Restoration
During PRP hair restoration, you’ll start by having a small amount of your blood drawn. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which are rich in growth factors. Once the PRP solution is ready, your practitioner will inject it into targeted areas of your scalp. The injections are quick and minimally uncomfortable. The procedure is relatively simple and involves minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities shortly after.
Side Effects and Recovery After PRP Hair Restoration
After your PRP hair restoration treatment, you might experience minor side effects such as mild scalp tenderness, redness, or swelling at the injection sites. These effects usually subside within a few days. It’s normal to see some temporary shedding of hair before new growth begins. You can typically return to your regular activities immediately. However, to optimize results, avoid strenuous activities that could irritate your scalp shortly after the treatment.
