Platelet Rich plasma, or PRP, uses the growth factors in your own platelet-rich blood cells to help stimulate hair regrowth. The concentrated platelets found in PRP contain huge reservoirs of bioactive proteins, including growth factors and signaling proteins that are vital to initiate and accelerate hair growth. This new and innovative treatment allows you to regrow your hair and thicken existing hair without surgery.

PRP Hair Restoration vs. Hair Transplant
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles from the back of the scalp are taken and transplanted to the bald area. Generally this is considered the only permanent solution to baldness. However not everyone is ready for or wants to undergo surgery.
A newer option, known as platelet rich plasma therapy, can offer a solution to hair loss for people who don’t want a hair transplant or for people who are experiencing hair loss for a number of other reasons.
Platelet rich plasma, or PRP, is derived from a person’s own blood and contains several broth factors. When injected into balding areas of the scalp, the PRP can stimulate hair growth.
