What is PRP hair restoration?
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment for thinning hair in men and women. A small amount of your own blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then placed into the scalp to support existing and dormant hair follicles. Every candidate is evaluated first, and results vary.
You can thicken your hair without the need for drastic chemicals or regiments. With PRP treatment from Michigan Center For Regenerative Medicine, you can look forward to the following:

Understand Your Options – How PRP Compares to Other Hair Restoration Techniques
The hair restoration treatment that works best for you will depend on several factors, such as the extent of your hair loss and any medications you’re currently taking. PRP is designed to excite your existing hair follicles, but it cannot regrow follicles that are no longer there. If you have areas with complete balding, you may need a hair transplant to restore hair in those spots.
PRP can maximize results after a follicle transplant, and it can be used in combination with topical hair growth creams. A proper PRP regimen with multiple rounds in the first few months is generally more effective than over-the-counter treatments, and it offers longer-lasting results. Nevertheless, you may prefer a standalone service, like a wig or hair topper, to fill out your hair. Our experts can help you decide which path is ideal for your budget, goals, and overall needs. Curious about pricing? Our PRP cost breakdown explains what affects the total.
How Long Will PRP Take to Grow My Hair?
Each person has a unique experience with PRP treatment. Thus, it’s difficult to determine how many PRP sessions you will require to achieve and maintain your desired hair thickness. We can discuss these factors during your initial consultation to help you plan for what to expect.
- Most PRP Recipients Go through Four Rounds of Initial Treatments to Jumpstart Follicle Production
- Treatments Are Spaced out Every 4-6 Weeks, Plus Booster Appointments to Follow as Needed
- Many Clients See Results after a Couple Sessions
- We’ll Clearly Outline Your Expectations during Your Consultation, So You’ll Know What to Expect from Your Treatment Plan
- Your PRP Treatment for Hair Restoration Will Be Tailored to Your Specific Needs
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP tends to work best for people with thinning hair whose follicles are still active, such as early pattern hair loss. It is less likely to help areas that have been bald for a long time. Your provider will review your history, medications, and possible causes of hair loss, such as thyroid or iron problems, before recommending treatment. Read hair thinning treatments for women.
