How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP hair restoration utilizes the natural healing properties found in platelet-rich plasma, a component of your blood. The procedure begins with a small sample of your blood being drawn and placed into a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speeds to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors and proteins, is then injected into the scalp at targeted areas experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Once injected, the growth factors in PRP stimulate the proliferation of hair follicle cells, promoting hair growth and thickness. Additionally, PRP enhances blood flow to the scalp, improving nutrient delivery to the hair follicles and creating an optimal environment for hair regrowth. Over time, PRP hair restoration can lead to noticeable improvements in hair density and thickness, offering a natural and effective solution for addressing hair loss.

What to Expect During PRP Hair Restoration?
During PRP hair restoration, a small sample of your blood is drawn from your arm. This blood sample is processed using a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components. Next, the concentrated PRP, rich in growth factors and proteins, is carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp experiencing hair loss or thinning. The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately afterward.
