HAIR RESTORATION
PRP uses the growth factors in your own platelets to wake up hair follicles that have slowed down but have not yet given up. No drugs, no surgery, and nothing in the injection that did not come from you.
HOW PRP WORKS
We take a small sample of your blood and spin it in a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma, the fraction packed with the growth factors your body uses to repair tissue. That concentrate is then injected across the thinning areas of your scalp. The growth factors improve blood supply to the follicle and can push follicles that have shifted into a resting phase back into active growth. Because it is your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction to the material itself.
THE REALISTIC TIMELINE
Hair grows slowly, and any treatment that promises fast results is not being straight with you. Here is what the months actually look like.
Nothing visible yet. Work is happening at the follicle, not on the surface. Some clients notice less shedding.
Shedding typically slows noticeably. This is usually the first change people can actually point to.
Fine new growth starts appearing, often at the hairline and the crown. Easiest to see in photographs.
The clearest point to judge the result, which is why we photograph at every visit.
Most clients continue with a session every four to six months to hold what they have gained.
WHAT CAN PRP HELP WITH?
PRP works best on follicles that are still alive but underperforming. Where a scalp is fully bald and smooth, the follicle is usually gone, and we will tell you honestly if that is what we are looking at.
THE TREATMENT PLAN
An initial course is usually three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance every four to six months. Each appointment takes about an hour including the blood draw and processing. We numb the scalp first, and most clients describe the injections as brief pressure with some stinging. You can wash your hair the next day. We photograph at the same angles and lighting every visit, because scalp progress is very hard to judge from memory.
FAQ’s
The scalp is sensitive, so we numb thoroughly with topical anesthetic first and often use a cooling device during treatment. Most clients describe brief pressure with a stinging sensation that passes quickly. The injections themselves take only a few minutes. Some tenderness for a day afterwards is normal.
Reduced shedding is usually the first sign, often around two to three months. Visible new growth typically appears between three and six months, and six months is the fair point to judge. Anyone promising results in weeks is selling you something hair biology cannot deliver.
It works best when follicles are miniaturizing but still alive, which means earlier is better. Areas that have been completely smooth and bald for years are unlikely to respond, because there is usually nothing left to stimulate. We will look at your scalp and give you an honest assessment rather than taking your money for a course that will not do anything.
Three to four in the initial course, four to six weeks apart, then maintenance every four to six months. Stopping after one session is the most common reason people conclude PRP does not work. The course is the treatment, not the first appointment.
PRP is not suitable if you have a blood or platelet disorder, are on blood thinners we cannot safely pause, have an active scalp infection, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Smoking and uncontrolled thyroid disease both reduce how well it works. We will also check whether your hair loss has a cause that needs treating medically first, because PRP will not fix a thyroid problem or an iron deficiency.
