PRP for Hair Loss

What Is PRP for Hair Loss?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that harnesses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth. This treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into the scalp to promote hair follicle regeneration. At Natural Image Skin Center, we use PRP therapy to enhance hair thickness and density in individuals experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss, offering a natural solution to restore a fuller, healthier head of hair.

Who Is a Candidate for PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP therapy is ideal for men and women experiencing early-stage hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia. It works best for those with active but weakened hair follicles. Individuals with severe hair loss or completely bald areas may not see significant results. A consultation will determine if PRP is right for you.

The PRP Process: What to Expect

The PRP process begins with a small amount of blood being drawn from your arm. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to separate and concentrate the platelets. Once the platelet-rich plasma is prepared, it is carefully injected into the targeted areas of the scalp using a fine needle. The entire procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour. For best results, a series of treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is usually recommended.

Recovery and Downtime

PRP therapy requires little to no downtime. Mild tenderness or swelling at the injection sites is common but resolves within a day or two. Most patients can return to normal activities immediately.
