PRP Hair Restoration Aftercare

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is your own blood, drawn at your appointment and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets and growth factors. Those concentrated growth factors—when injected back into your scalp, face, or applied during microneedling—signal your tissue to regenerate, build collagen, and repair. It's regenerative medicine using your own biology.

Three main applications: PRP for hair restoration (slowing or reversing thinning), PRP with microneedling for skin rejuvenation and acne scars, and PRP "filler" for under-eye hollows and overall facial volume in patients who prefer not to use synthetic fillers. We tailor the protocol to your specific concern.

Yes for the right candidate. PRP is most effective for early-to-middle stage hair loss—androgenetic alopecia, receding hairline, thinning crown. It's less effective once a follicle has been dormant for years. Most patients need 3 to 4 initial sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6 to 9 months. Best results come from combining PRP with topical treatments like minoxidil.

Varies by treatment. PRP Hair Restoration: 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, then maintenance every 6 to 9 months. PRP for Face/Microneedling: 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. PRP Filler: 1 to 3 sessions depending on goal. Your provider will design the protocol at consultation.

The injection itself is a series of small pinches—we use the smallest possible needles. For PRP microneedling, the treated area is numbed with topical anesthetic first. Scalp injections can be more sensitive—we can offer additional numbing if needed. Most patients tolerate it well.

Hair PRP: minor scalp soreness for 24 hours, no visible signs. Facial PRP/microneedling: 5 days of recovery with redness and mild swelling, like a sunburn. PRP filler: bruising and swelling for up to 7 days under the eyes. Plan around social events.

PRP is your own blood—there's no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Risks are limited to injection-related: bruising, temporary swelling, minor infection (rare with proper technique). We use sterile single-use kits and follow medical protocols throughout. Safer than synthetic filler in terms of allergic risk.

PRP services range $250–$700 depending on treatment: PRP for Face/Microneedling $250, PRP Hair Restoration $675, PRP Filler $700. Series pricing available. Membership reduces per-session cost.

Hair: new growth starts at 3–4 months, with full results from a series visible at 6–9 months. Facial: initial glow within days from microneedling effect; collagen building over 3 months. PRP filler: immediate plumping, with longer-term improvement over months as growth factors work.

Yes. PRP works well with microneedling (most common combination), with topical hair treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, with other injectables like fillers, and with laser treatments. We'll design a combined protocol if your goals warrant it.

Most healthy adults are candidates. Not appropriate for patients with active blood disorders, on certain blood-thinning medications, with active infections, or with platelet dysfunction. We screen at consultation. PRP requires drawing your blood, so patients with needle-related anxiety should know that going in.
