What is PRP therapy for hair loss?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy draws your blood, spins it in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth-factor-rich platelets, then injects that plasma into the scalp. The natural growth factors trigger new follicle activity, increase circulation to the hair root, and thicken existing strands, all without surgery or synthetic substances.
Am I a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?
Most people experiencing thinning hair or early-to-moderate hair loss are good candidates. PRP works best when follicles are still active but miniaturized. If you have severe anemia, a low platelet count, active cancer, or certain blood disorders, an alternative like a hair transplant may be more appropriate, your physician will advise during your free consultation.
What does a PRP session involve?
Your provider draws a small blood sample from your arm, then processes it in our FDA-approved closed sterile centrifuge for 15–20 minutes. Once the plasma is ready, a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area before the injections. The full session typically takes 45 minutes, and there is no downtime, you can return to normal activity immediately.
Is PRP therapy painful?
Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream and/or local anesthetic is applied before injections, so most patients report mild pressure at most. Any sensitivity typically resolves within a few hours after the session.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
The recommended protocol for most patients is 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by annual treatments to maintain results. Your physician will build a personalized schedule based on your hair loss pattern, density goals, and response to the first sessions.
When will I see results?
New hair regrowth is gradual. Most patients notice reduced shedding within the first few weeks. Visible regrowth typically appears around 6 weeks, with noticeably thicker, healthier hair at the 8-week mark. Results continue to build across a full treatment series.
Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes, and combination protocols often produce the strongest outcomes. PRP pairs well with KeraLase for deeper serum penetration, and is frequently recommended as a post-transplant follow-up to accelerate graft healing and maximize density in the restored area.
How long do PRP results last?
Results from an initial series typically last 12–18 months. Annual maintenance sessions, and in some cases, a few treatments per year, are recommended to sustain the improvement. The earlier and more consistently you treat, the more you preserve long-term.
Do you offer financing for PRP?
Yes. We partner with Cherry to offer flexible monthly payment plans. Decisions are typically processed within minutes at consultation. Ask our team about current options when you book.
