What is Hair Restoration with PRP?
Hair restoration with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-surgical treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth and reverse the effects of hair thinning or loss. PRP is rich in growth factors and platelets, which are known to promote tissue regeneration and healing. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates hair follicles, increasing circulation and nutrient delivery to the hair roots, ultimately encouraging the growth of stronger, thicker hair. This treatment has gained popularity as a safe and effective alternative for individuals seeking a natural solution to hair loss.
Who is a Candidate?
Ideal candidates for PRP hair restoration are individuals experiencing early to moderate stages of hair thinning or loss. This treatment works particularly well for those who have androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) but may also be suitable for people with other causes of hair loss, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or hormonal imbalances. PRP therapy is generally recommended for those who are in good overall health, as certain medical conditions or medications may affect the success of the procedure. A consultation with Dr. Sweat is needed to determine if PRP is the right solution based on individual needs and hair loss patterns.

The Procedure
The PRP hair restoration procedure begins with a simple blood draw from the patient. The blood is then processed in a machine called a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of the blood. This concentrated plasma is then carefully injected into the scalp at areas where hair thinning or loss has occurred. The entire procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and there is minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection sites, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days.
Benefits of Hair Restoration with PRP
Hair restoration using PRP offers many benefits for patients, including the following:
Non-Surgical Solution: PRP offers a minimally invasive, non-surgical option for hair restoration, eliminating the need for hair transplants or other more invasive procedures.
Natural Results: Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, the treatment is safe and natural, with a reduced risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
Quick Recovery: The procedure is relatively quick, with minimal downtime required, allowing patients to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
Stimulates Natural Hair Growth: PRP works by stimulating dormant hair follicles and promoting the growth of new, stronger hair in thinning areas.
Improves Hair Texture and Thickness: Many patients report thicker, healthier hair and an overall improvement in hair quality after a series of PRP treatments.
Minimal Side Effects: Because PRP uses the patient’s own blood, the risk of infection and other complications is significantly reduced.
Results
Results from PRP hair restoration are typically seen after several sessions, with most patients experiencing noticeable improvements in hair thickness and density within 3 to 6 months. The full effects may take up to a year to become evident, as hair growth occurs gradually. To maintain optimal results, patients may require follow-up treatments every 6 to 12 months, depending on their individual needs. While PRP is effective in stimulating hair growth, it is not a permanent solution, and some patients may need additional treatments in the future to sustain their results.
