Regenerative Hair Restoration IN LOS ANGELES AND BEVERLY HILLS

PRP is typically administered to the scalp where the hair loss has occurred monthly for three months. Repeat sessions are then needed about every 3 to 4 months for up to two years.

No, PRP injections are typically not painful. However, you may experience mild pain at the injection site following the procedure.

PRP is indeed effective for hair regrowth! PRP contains growth factors that increase blood supply to the hair follicle. This increases the thickness of the hair shaft and triggers natural hair growth.

After PRP treatment, do not use any hair products for at least 6 hours. Also, be sure to avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, vigorous exercise, and sun and heat exposure for at least 2 days after treatment. Additionally, avoid alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine for at least 3 days.

Most patients typically need 3 to 4 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve noticeable hair regrowth. After the initial series, maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months are often recommended to sustain results. The exact number of sessions can vary based on individual hair loss severity, response to treatment, and goals. Many patients begin to see improvement in hair thickness and reduced shedding within 2 to 3 months of starting PRP therapy.

Each PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment session for hair regrowth typically takes 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. The process includes drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP, and then injecting the concentrated plasma into targeted areas of the scalp. The injections themselves usually take 15 to 20 minutes, with minimal discomfort. Since it’s a non-surgical, outpatient procedure, patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

You can typically expect to see initial results from PRP hair treatment within 2 to 3 months, such as reduced hair shedding and early signs of regrowth. More noticeable hair thickness, density, and scalp coverage improvements usually appear after 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment. Results vary depending on individual factors like age, hair loss severity, and overall health, but many patients experience continued improvement with maintenance sessions. Optimal results are achieved when PRP is combined with a healthy lifestyle and, in some cases, complementary hair loss therapies.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy can be safely and effectively combined with other hair loss treatments to enhance results. Common combinations include topical or oral minoxidil, oral or topical finasteride, nano-fat injections, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and microneedling, which can work synergistically with PRP to stimulate hair growth. This multi-modal approach often leads to faster and more noticeable hair density and thickness improvements. Your provider can create a personalized treatment plan to determine the best combination based on your specific type and stage of hair loss.

Yes, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is non-surgical and works by using your own blood-derived growth factors to stimulate natural hair growth in thinning areas, whereas hair transplant surgery involves physically relocating hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. PRP is ideal for early-stage hair loss or as a complement to transplants, while surgery is typically used for more advanced baldness. PRP requires no incisions, downtime, or scarring, and results develop gradually over several months. In contrast, hair transplant surgery is more invasive but can offer permanent, immediate coverage in areas with significant hair loss.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is effective for both men and women experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. It is commonly used to treat androgenetic alopecia in both sexes, helping to improve hair density, thickness, and scalp coverage. Clinical studies and patient outcomes show that men and women can achieve significant hair regrowth with consistent PRP treatments. Results may vary based on factors like age, hormonal balance, and extent of hair loss, but PRP is widely regarded as a safe and effective option for both genders.

Yes, most patients require maintenance PRP treatments after the initial series to sustain hair growth and prevent further thinning. Typically, maintenance sessions are recommended every 4 to 6 months, depending on your individual response and hair restoration goals. Regular treatments help reinforce the benefits of the initial series by continuously stimulating the hair follicles. Your provider will develop a personalized maintenance plan based on your progress and long-term needs.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) cannot create entirely new hair follicles, but it can revive and stimulate dormant or weakened follicles, promoting the growth of thicker, healthier hair. The growth factors in PRP enhance cell regeneration, blood flow, and follicle function, which can lead to visible hair regrowth in areas with thinning hair. However, PRP is less likely to produce significant new hair growth in areas where follicles are permanently damaged or absent. It’s most effective when used in the early stages of hair loss or complementing other treatments like hair transplants.

Yes, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy can significantly improve the thickness and quality of existing hair by stimulating the hair follicles and increasing blood supply to the scalp. The growth factors in PRP promote stronger, healthier hair strands and can extend the growth phase of the hair cycle. Many patients notice their hair becoming fuller and denser within a few months of treatment. This improvement in hair thickness is one of the most commonly reported benefits of PRP therapy for hair loss.
