Understanding Hair Loss
Hair loss can be a distressing condition, affecting millions of individuals both physically and emotionally. It may stem from various causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or aging. At our clinic, we address these concerns by exploring the underlying causes of hair loss and offering tailored treatment options.
Unlocking the Potential of PRP for Hair Growth
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a groundbreaking approach that uses your body's own healing capabilities to rejuvenate hair follicles and promote hair growth. This natural treatment is particularly effective due to the growth factors present in your platelets, which can lead to:
- A reduction in hair loss and an increase in hair density
- Improved scalp health and hair caliber
- Enhanced healing properties that can also benefit skin rejuvenation
Our PRP therapy starts with a thorough consultation to create a customized treatment plan based on your specific condition. Typically, the treatment includes a series of three injections spaced over three months, followed by maintenance treatments to sustain hair growth results.
The Science Behind PRP
PRP therapy involves concentrating platelets from your blood and injecting them into your scalp where hair loss is occurring. These platelets release growth factors that stimulate hair follicle regeneration and promote new hair growth. The scientific community recognizes PRP therapy as a safe and effective hair loss treatment, supported by numerous studies demonstrating its efficacy.
What to Expect During Your PRP Treatment
Dr. Christine Brown and her skilled team ensure a comfortable and safe experience during the approximately 30-minute PRP procedure. Most patients report a noticeable improvement in hair fullness and scalp health after their initial treatment series, although individual results can vary.
For a comprehensive approach, combining PRP with other treatments may enhance overall hair restoration results. We recommend a detailed conversation with Dr. Brown to explore your options and set realistic expectations for the outcome of your treatment plan.
Safety and Side Effects
PRP therapy is well-tolerated and has a strong safety record with minimal side effects, as it utilizes the healing components from your own body. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these symptoms typically resolve quickly.
Combining PRP with Other Treatments
In certain cases, Dr. Brown may suggest incorporating PRP therapy with other hair restoration methods to maximize effectiveness. Each patient's treatment synergy is carefully crafted to address their unique type of hair loss and to optimize outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About PRP for Hair Loss
What is PRP and how does it work for hair loss?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets from your own blood that are used to promote healing and regeneration. For hair loss, PRP works by injecting these growth factors into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.
Is PRP treatment painful?
Some patients may experience a level of discomfort during PRP injections, but we use a local anesthetic to minimize any pain. The treatment is generally well-tolerated.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
The number of PRP sessions varies by individual needs. Typically, a series of three treatments spaced about a month apart is standard, followed by maintenance sessions.
When can I expect to see results from PRP treatment?
Results can vary, but most patients notice signs of hair regrowth or decreased hair shedding within two to six months after beginning treatment.
Are there any side effects or risks with PRP therapy?
PRP therapy is generally safe with a low risk of side effects since it uses your own blood. Some patients might experience mild soreness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites.
Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments?
Yes, PRP can be used in conjunction with other treatments. The combination approach is often more effective and can be tailored to your specific condition.

You should avoid anti-inflammatory medications for a week before the treatment, stay hydrated, and follow any specific instructions provided by Dr. Brown's office.
