PRP for Hair Loss

What Is PRP for Hair Loss?

Hair thinning and hair loss can be distressing and deeply personal. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical, regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own natural growth factors to support hair restoration and scalp health.

PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate platelets and growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp, where it helps stimulate dormant hair follicles, strengthen existing hair, and support healthier hair growth over time.
