Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) For Hair Loss

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for Hair Loss

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative hair restoration treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing abilities to combat thinning. The PRP process involves a standard blood draw, which is then processed to create a concentrated sample dense with growth factors. This sample is re-injected into the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage new growth. While historically used for sports medicine, PRP has emerged as a premier non-surgical solution for hair loss and skin rejuvenation. Dr. Avram has achieved significant success in using PRP for hair loss to help both men and women regain hair density.

What Happens During a PRP Hair Loss Treatment?

When you arrive for your PRP hair loss session, a technician at Dr. Avram’s practice will perform a simple blood draw. Your blood is placed in a specialized centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the nutrient-rich platelet rich plasma. Once prepared, the concentrated PRP is strategically injected into the areas of your scalp showing signs of thinning and hair loss.

For optimal results, patients typically undergo three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Following the initial series, Dr. Avram will examine your scalp to evaluate the success of the hair restoration. To maintain the full benefits of PRP injections and prevent further thinning, most patients schedule follow-up treatments every 6-12 months. Results may vary based on individual hair growth cycles.

Is PRP the Right Hair Restoration Treatment for Me?

Dr. Avram specializes in identifying the specific hair loss treatments that will best resolve your concerns. Depending on your goals, he may suggest combining PRP for hair loss with additional medical therapies, such as minoxidil or finasteride, to maximize results. PRP treatments are designed to revitalize damaged hair follicles, resulting in thicker, healthier, and more resilient hair.
