What is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for the scalp is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a concentrated sample of your own blood platelets to stimulate and support hair growth. Your blood contains 3x the platelet concentration needed to trigger your body’s natural repair process. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors help accelerate the repair of aged and damaged follicles to encourage hair regrowth.
Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction and no synthetic substances are involved.
How PRP Treatment Works
| Step | Process | What Happens | Time / Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | Blood Draw | A small amount of blood is taken from your arm, similar to a routine lab test. | Less than 5 minutes |
| Step 2 | Centrifuge Processing | Your blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. This creates a concentrated solution with up to 3x the platelets, rich in growth factors that support skin and follicle repair. | Quick, done during appointment |
| Step 3 | Application | PRP is applied using microneedling (most common for facial rejuvenation), a Beauty Booster device, or manual injection for areas like the scalp, tear troughs, nasolabial folds, and scarring. | Method depends on treatment area and goals |
The full appointment takes approximately one hour.
Who is This For?
PRP hair treatment is a powerful, natural option for early-onset thinning hair in men and women caused by:
+ The natural aging process
+ Metabolic changes
+ Genetics (androgenetic alopecia/pattern hair loss)
A complimentary consultation with one of our providers is recommended before your first session to determine the cause of your hair loss and assess whether PRP is the right fit for you.
Before Your Appointment
Before You Arrive
+ Complete your Health History/Intake form before your appointment, or arrive 15 minutes early
+ Eat a light snack or meal 30 to 60 minutes beforehand
+ Wash your hair before coming in, and arrive with clean hair
+ If you have a history of cold sores, let us know so we can arrange antiviral medication in advance
How to Prepare
+ Drink 2 to 4 glasses of water in the hours before your session to support blood draw quality and plasma concentration
+ Tylenol may be taken before your appointment for comfort
What to Avoid (for approximately 1 week before, unless medically necessary)
+ Alcohol and smoking for 24 hours prior
+ Aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications: Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Fish Oil, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of Vitamin E
After Your Appointment
The scalp may feel tender and appear slightly red for 24 to 48 hours following treatment. Continue avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 48 hours post-treatment, as these interfere with the natural inflammatory response that drives your results.
