Fuller, Thicker Hair
PRP injections are a natural, effective solution to premature hair loss, used on the scalp to stimulate hair growth. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is extracted from the patient’s own blood and used to stimulate dormant hair follicles, resulting in new, thicker hair growth.
Because the procedure uses the patient’s own concentrated platelets to naturally regrow hair in areas of thinning and baldness, there are virtually no risks, side effects, drug interactions, or downtime with PRP hair restoration.
A sample of your blood is taken and using a centrifuge, your plasma and growth factors are separated and prepared for your treatment. We then inject it into thinning areas of your scalp promoting your own natural hair growth.

WHAT IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios. Common treatment areas include microneedling with PRP, hair loss, torn tendons, tendinitis, muscle injuries, arthritis-related pain, joint injuries.
WHAT DO PLATELETS DO?
Platelets release growth factors that regulate the healing process by signaling the surrounding cells to repair damaged tissue and regenerate new tissue. Key growth factors involved in this process include but are not limited to:
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
Transforming Growth Factor group (TGF)
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)
Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF)
