Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a three-step procedure that promotes natural hair growth and enhances hair thickness by improving blood supply to the hair follicle. Dr. Mehta, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Manhattan, offers PRP therapy as a natural solution for hair loss.
Restore Hair Using
Natural Growth Factors
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that utilizes the healing power of your own blood to stimulate hair growth. PRP therapy involves extracting a small sample of your blood, which is processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma, rich in growth factors, is injected into the scalp. These growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new hair growth, and improve the thickness and quality of existing hair. PRP hair restoration offers a natural solution for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning hair.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP hair restoration works by harnessing the regenerative properties of platelets found in the patient’s own blood. The process involves extracting a blood sample, separating the platelet-rich plasma through centrifugation, and injecting it into the scalp. The growth factors released by the platelets stimulate the hair follicles, promoting cell growth, improving blood circulation, and triggering the production of new hair strands. This revives dormant follicles and enhances hair growth for a fuller and thicker head of hair.

PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Details
The PRP hair restoration process involves three simple steps. First, a small sample of your blood will be drawn, similar to a regular blood test. The second step involves the separation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the blood sample through a process called centrifugation. This concentrated PRP is prepared for injection. Finally, the third step is the injection of the PRP into specific areas of the scalp experiencing hair loss or thinning. The entire procedure is performed in-office, usually taking less than an hour to complete.
PRP Hair Restoration: Onset & Longevity of Results
While some individuals may start noticing improvements in hair growth and thickness within a few weeks, others may require multiple sessions before significant changes become apparent. To achieve optimal outcomes, multiple sessions are often recommended, typically spaced several weeks apart. The exact number of sessions needed will depend on various factors, including the severity of hair loss and individual response to treatment. Regular maintenance sessions may also be advised to sustain the results achieved.
The Recovery Process
Most individuals resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure, as there is no significant downtime. You may experience mild soreness or tenderness in the treated areas, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. You should avoid vigorous physical exercise, excessive heat exposure, and direct sunlight on the scalp for a short period. Your provider will monitor your progress during follow-up appointments to ensure optimal results.
