Platelet-rich plasma for Hair Loss
Many people struggle to maintain thick, healthy‑looking hair. No matter how many oils, serums, or masks you try, thinning can continue year after year. This is incredibly common and often tied to natural aging, genetics, or periods of physical or emotional stress.
Lifestyle changes or, in some cases, hair transplant surgery may help but when those options aren’t the right fit, PRP hair restoration offers a powerful alternative. By using growth factors derived from your own blood, PRP helps nourish the scalp, support healthier follicles, and encourage fuller, stronger hair growth over time.
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration is a non‑surgical treatment that uses your body’s own growth factors to support healthier, fuller‑looking hair. By injecting platelet‑rich plasma into areas of thinning, PRP helps keep follicles in the growth phase of the hair cycle longer, improves blood supply, and reduces inflammation around the follicle. Because PRP is rich in growth factors, it can counteract some of the hormonal and genetic signals involved in hair loss. Over time, this can improve hair thickness, strength, and density making PRP a less invasive alternative to medications or hair transplant surgery.
How PRP Hair Restoration Works
PRP works by harnessing the regenerative components in your own blood. A small blood sample is drawn and processed to isolate the platelet‑rich plasma, leaving behind a concentrated solution of growth factors. This platelet‑rich plasma is then injected into areas where you’re experiencing thinning or shedding.
Once delivered into the scalp, PRP binds to the tissue and delivers nutrients directly to the follicle. It helps “wake up” dormant follicles, supports active ones, and encourages new growth. With consistent treatments, PRP can improve hair quality, increase thickness, and enhance overall scalp health especially if your hair has become fine, brittle, or noticeably less dense.
Common Treatment Areas for PRP Hair Restoration
PRP hair restoration can be used on any area where hair grows, but most patients target the regions where thinning is most noticeable. Common treatment areas include:
Vertex and crown to improve density in areas prone to pattern thinning
Temples and hairline to address early recession
Full scalp to support overall thickness and reduce diffuse shedding
Whether you’re experiencing thinning in one specific area or throughout the scalp, Dr. Adam Nabatian can create a customized PRP treatment plan tailored to your pattern of hair loss and goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?
You may be a good candidate for PRP hair restoration if you’re experiencing early‑stage thinning or areas of reduced density on the scalp. The best candidates are men and women with mild to moderate hair loss, healthy hormone levels, and no underlying medical conditions that interfere with healing. PRP is especially effective for those who want a non‑surgical, low‑risk option to support fuller, healthier‑looking hair.
Before & After
Patients Treated at Premier Dermatology & Aesthetics
Personalized PRP Treatment Plans
PRP hair restoration is fully customized to address your pattern of thinning whether you’re noticing early shedding, localized bald spots, or overall loss of density. During your consultation, Dr. Adam Nabatian evaluates your scalp, reviews your medical history, and determines whether PRP is the right approach for you. Because it’s non‑surgical and low‑risk, PRP offers an effective option for patients who want to improve hair thickness without medication or transplant surgery.
Dr. Nabatian may also recommend combining PRP treatments with topical or oral medications like minoxidil or finasteride. Combining PRP with medical therapy can enhance results by further reducing shedding and helping to maintain hair thickness and density long-term.
What to Expect During PRP Hair Restoration
PRP hair restoration is a multi‑step medical treatment designed to stimulate healthier, stronger hair growth. While each plan is tailored to your needs, the process typically includes the following steps:
Hair Loss Consultation
Dr. Nabatian examines your scalp, evaluates your pattern of hair loss, and confirms whether PRP is an appropriate treatment.
Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is collected from your arm.
Centrifugation
The blood is processed in a centrifuge for about 10 minutes to isolate the platelet‑rich plasma.
PRP Injections
Using a fine needle, Dr. Nabatian injects the PRP into the targeted areas. The injections are spaced evenly to ensure comprehensive coverage and optimal results. PRP can also be used in combination with microneedling.
Post‑Treatment
You may have temporary redness which should fade within a couple of hours.
Most patients benefit from a series of three to four treatments, spaced about one month apart. Maintenance sessions every six to twelve months help maintain results, especially when the underlying cause of hair loss is ongoing.
Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
Stimulates Dormant Hair Follicles
As we age, some follicles become less active due to reduced nutrient supply, leading to thinner‑looking hair. PRP delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the scalp, helping “wake up” dormant follicles and support healthier, more active growth.
Thickens the Hair Shaft
PRP promotes the activity of keratin‑producing cells, which strengthens the hair shaft and improves its structural integrity. Over time, this can reduce breakage and enhance overall hair thickness.
Provides Natural‑Looking Results
Because PRP works with your existing follicles rather than relocating hair from one area to another, results blend seamlessly with your natural growth pattern. This makes PRP an excellent option for patients seeking fuller hair without the appearance of a surgically altered hairline.
Uses Your Body’s Own Growth Factors
PRP is derived from your own blood, making it a safe option for patients who prefer treatments without synthetic ingredients. The risk of allergic reactions is extremely low, and the treatment is well‑tolerated by most individuals.
Minimally Invasive With Little Downtime
Unlike hair transplant surgery, PRP involves only a series of injections and requires virtually no recovery time. Patients can return to normal activities immediately, with only mild redness or tenderness that typically resolves within a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
This mainly depends on how advanced your hair loss is. If you only notice hair thinning but no bald spots, then only one PRP session in conjunction with topical medications might be all that you need. However, if the hair thinning is significant then three to four PRP sessions, spaced one month apart may be recommended. A consultation with Dr. Nabatian can determine how many treatments will be necessary for you.
-
PRP hair restoration works by activating your body’s natural healing process and delivering growth factors directly to the follicle. Because the follicles need time to respond, results develop gradually. Some patients begin to see early new growth within a few months, but the most noticeable improvements typically appear around five to seven months as the follicles strengthen and become more active.
