Frequently Asked Questions

PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood to promote hair growth and improve hair density. Platelets contain growth factors that help stimulate hair follicles and enhance the natural healing process.

A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components. The PRP is then injected into the scalp in areas of thinning hair or hair loss, where it stimulates hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.

Benefits include increased hair density, reduced hair shedding, improved hair thickness and strength, and stimulation of new hair growth. It is a natural treatment that uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or side effects.

PRP hair restoration is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. It is particularly effective for individuals with androgenic alopecia (pattern baldness) and those looking to improve hair density. A consultation with a healthcare provider can determine if you are a good candidate.

Yes, PRP hair restoration is generally considered safe because it uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, it is important to have the procedure performed by a trained and experienced professional.

Some discomfort may be experienced during the blood draw and the injections into the scalp. However, topical numbing cream or local anesthesia can be applied to minimize pain during the procedure.

A typical PRP hair restoration session takes about 60 to 90 minutes, including the time needed to draw and process the blood, and perform the scalp injections.

Results vary among individuals, but most patients start to see improvements in hair density and thickness within 3 to 6 months after the initial treatment. Multiple sessions are usually needed for optimal results.

Most treatment plans include 3 to 4 initial sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months, depending on individual response and goals.

Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites, which usually subside within a few days. Rare side effects can include infection or injury to blood vessels or nerves.
