How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

PRP therapy works by utilizing platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood. The process involves:

• Blood Draw – A small blood sample is taken from the patient.

• Centrifuge Separation – The blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate platelets and plasma.

• PRP Injection – The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is injected into targeted areas of the scalp, stimulating hair follicles and natural regrowth.

The platelets in PRP release growth factors that promote cell regeneration, enhance circulation, and strengthen existing hair follicles, leading to improved hair density over time.

Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

PRP Hair Restoration provides several key benefits for those looking for a non-surgical hair regrowth solution:

• Stimulates Natural Hair Growth – Encourages thicker, fuller hair by revitalizing dormant follicles.

• Minimally Invasive with No Downtime – A quick, in-office procedure with minimal recovery time.

• Enhances Hair Strength & Thickness – Improves overall hair quality and density.

• Safe & Effective – Utilizes your body's natural healing process without foreign substances or medications.

Is PRP Hair Restoration Right for You?

PRP therapy is ideal for individuals who:

• Have mild to moderate hair thinning with active hair follicles.

• Want a non-surgical treatment for hair restoration.

• Are in good health and free from contraindications.

Precautions & Contraindications

PRP Hair Restoration is NOT recommended for individuals who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Have blood disorders or clotting conditions.

• Suffer from active scalp infections or certain autoimmune diseases.

PRP vs. PRFM Hair Restoration: Which is Right for You?

Both PRP and PRFM Hair Restoration use the body's natural regenerative abilities, but there are key differences:

• PRP releases growth factors quickly, while PRFM provides a slow, sustained release for longer-lasting results.

• PRFM includes a fibrin matrix, which enhances follicle stimulation and supports greater collagen production.

• PRP is an effective standalone treatment, while PRFM may offer longer-lasting improvements in hair density.

A consultation at Summerlin Dermatology can help determine if one of these hair restoration methods aligns with your goals.

What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment

1. Blood Draw & PRP Processing – A sample of blood is taken and spun in a centrifuge to extract platelet-rich plasma.

3. Minimal Downtime – Patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

Recommended Treatment Plan

• Initial Phase: 3–4 treatments, spaced one month apart.

• Maintenance: Sessions every 6–12 months to sustain hair growth.
