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.

If you’re one of the millions of adults who suffer from hair thinning, platelet-rich plasma treatments may be perfect for you. This process restores hair thickness by awakening dormant follicles on your scalp. The benefits include:

Is PRP Better Than a Hair Transplant?

An older couple smiling and laughing together while leaning against a stone railing.

Comparing PRP to hair transplant is like comparing apples to oranges. They serve different purposes, and some clients use both options to restore their hair. A hair transplant will install follicles from somewhere on your body onto your scalp. PRP can rejuvenate the follicles that are still there if they are viable for future growth. Our specialists can help you plan the best path for your desired goals. Curious about pricing? Our PRP cost breakdown explains what affects the total.

Key Things To Know About PRP Treatment for Hair Restoration

PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment option that allows the body’s natural healing processes to boost hair growth. With PRP hair treatment, a small blood draw is taken, processed, and reinjected into areas where you’re experiencing hair loss. The growth factors in the platelet-rich plasma help to stimulate new hair follicles and rejuvenate existing ones.

A few things to keep in mind about PRP hair restoration include:

Natural – PRP treatment for hair restoration uses your own blood cells, which helps to reduce risks and complications that may occur with hair transplant surgery.
Best Used With Early Stage Hair Loss – PRP hair treatment is best used when you are experiencing early-stage hair thinning.
Small Amount of Downtime – A PRP hair treatment procedure typically only takes 30-60 minutes with limited downtime.

Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Treatment for Hair Restoration?

The best candidates for PRP hair treatment are those just beginning to experience hair thinning, rather than individuals who are completely bald or have large bald spots. Having a consultation with one of our Board-Certified physicians can help to determine if you’re a good candidate for PRP treatment for hair restoration at our Michigan regenerative medicine clinic. We have many patients from the Shelby Township area and would be happy to help you as you embark on our hair restoration journey.

What to Expect with PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet-rich plasma has been around since the 1970s and has since become a common option in the hair restoration industry. PRP may help clients improve their hair thickness and support the health of their hair follicles. This process is not right for everyone, but it may be a perfect fit for your needs and goals. Here is an overview of how PRP treatment for hair restoration works:

You’ll come in for a consultation to determine if PRP is right for you. We will never recommend this process if we do not think it will fit your needs.
The first round of treatment includes 3-4 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. This strict schedule is crucial to the process because it shocks dormant follicles to stimulate production.
Each session is less than an hour in total, and there is no discomfort when you’re finished.
Many clients get booster treatments to preserve their hair thickness. The frequency of those treatments will depend on your desired results and the state of your hair thinning.
Results vary, but most clients report results sooner than they expected. We can outline realistic expectations during your consultation so that you can prepare for what’s to come.

He spent over an hour with my husband and me going over my MRI’s for hip issues and all other information. He explained everything about PRP and answered all my questions. While  we were there, he even checked out my husband’s hip problem too and gave him suggestions as well. I am very pleased with the plan of action we chose together. Looking forward to healing!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In an effort to use time at home towards bettering myself, I may have overdid it with the online workouts.   I was able to get a telemedicine appointment with Dr. Santa Ana quickly and he was able to diagnose me online. His line of questioning showed me he was very knowledgeable and ultimately diagnosed me with a muscle strain which eased my fears. Great bedside manner. I highly recommended to anyone looking for genuine honesty and compassion in their care.
