Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used to treat androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in men and women.
How PRP works
- A small amount of your blood is collected in a tube.
- The tube is spun in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the other parts of the plasma.
- The platelet-rich plasma is injected into your scalp to stimulate hair growth.
What to expect
Changes in hair growth may be seen after the first treatment, but most patients need a series of 4 to 6 treatments to get the results they want.
All patients who come in for PRP treatments will be seen by a board-certified dermatologist.
