Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a minimally invasive method for improving hair regrowth, density, and thickness. Your own blood is drawn and centrifuged to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is concentrated with platelets and growth factors. A benefit of this treatment is the very low risk of allergic reaction as it is your own body’s plasma! Quick, simple injections of PRP are done in thinning areas to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage natural hair growth. PRP can increase hair shaft diameter improving overall density to make hair look fuller and healthier. It can also reduce hair shedding. There is little downtime after treatment, and most people return to normal activities the same day.
