Does PRP hair restoration hurt?

Most patients tolerate PRP well. A topical numbing agent or cooling is often used to improve comfort during the scalp injections. Some tenderness afterward is common and usually brief.

How many PRP sessions might I need?

An initial series of three to four sessions spaced roughly four to six weeks apart is common, followed by maintenance sessions every few months. Your clinician will recommend a schedule based on your individual response and goals.

When might I notice a difference?

Because hair grows slowly, potential changes typically become noticeable over several months. Results vary by individual and depend on diagnosis, follicle viability, and treatment consistency. PRP does not guarantee regrowth.

Can PRP be combined with other treatments?

Yes. PRP is often used alongside scalp microneedling and a healthy scalp routine as part of a combination approach. Your provider can help determine which therapies may be appropriate for you.

PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a regenerative treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood. Because it draws on the body's natural growth factors, PRP is often explored as part of a broader hair-restoration strategy for patients with viable follicles still remaining.

The Process

How It Works

Blood Draw

A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine lab test. Because the material comes entirely from your own body, no synthetic chemicals are introduced.

Centrifuge & Concentration

The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets, which carry the growth factors thought to play a role in the follicle environment.

Scalp Injection

The concentrated plasma is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp. The aim is to place growth factors near follicles that may still be capable of producing hair.

Recovery & Series

Most patients return to normal activities quickly. PRP is typically performed as an initial series spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance when appropriate.

Candidacy

Who May Be a Candidate?

May Be a Good Fit

Early to moderate thinning with viable follicles still present
Visible miniaturized or fine hairs in areas of concern
Those seeking a regenerative option using their own biology
Patients able to commit to an initial treatment series

Considerations
