PRP starts with what your body already has—blood filled with restorative substances—and focuses it uniquely to help restore healthy hair growth. Our team at SafiraMD Medical Aesthetics & Wellness Center has decades of experience and a patient-focused approach. If you notice thinner hair, this is your chance to stop the trend and reclaim lustrous locks.
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses your blood to help promote hair regrowth. Since the therapy comes from your body, it's chemical-free, and there's no chance of an allergic reaction.
Your blood contains healing properties, especially within the platelets. These platelets release growth factors—tiny messengers that signal the body to repair tissue, increase blood flow, and stimulate cell growth.
You could have many hair follicles that aren't dead; they're simply "sleeping"—and PRP could be the key to waking them up. When injected into the scalp, PRP helps nourish and stimulate dormant or inactive hair follicles.Â
How PRP Can Restore Hair Growth
PRP works by targeting the root of the problem—literally. Hair loss often begins when the follicles stop getting healthy blood flow, which means they lack the nutrients and growth signals they need to activate and continue producing hair.
The growth factors in PRP help restore that connection. They improve local blood circulation, reduce inflammation around the follicles, and jumpstart the hair growth cycle.
Over time, thin hairs can grow thicker, and dormant follicles may start producing hair again.
The PRP Hair Restoration Process
Your PRP treatment starts with a small blood draw. It's the same as any other blood draw you've had: A small needle in an arm vein, and over quickly.
That blood is spun in a special device called a centrifuge, which separates it into layers. The highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma is for your treatment, and we dispose of the other blood layer (the red blood cells.)
Your specialist then injects PRP into targeted areas of your scalp using tiny needles. A local anesthetic keeps you comfortable during the process.
The treatment usually takes less than an hour and involves little to no downtime. Most people find the process very manageable and return to normal activities the same day.
Comparing PRP to Other Options
Minoxidil (Rogaine®) requires daily application directly to the scalp. If you stop using it, your hair returns to its previous state. Some patients may use minoxidil alongside their PRP treatments to maximize results.
Hair transplants are another option, but they're far more complicated than PRP injections. Though they can be effective, transplants usually require significant downtime and leave scars behind.
PRP provides a natural, chemical-free, nonsurgical option for stimulating hair regrowth. While results are gradual, our patients feel they're well worth it!
