Hair Restoration
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration treatment uses a concentration of your own blood's growth factors to stimulate hair regrowth. The process involves drawing a blood sample, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, and then injecting this growth-factor-rich plasma into the scalp to rejuvenate hair follicles. This treatment can help with thinning hair and improve outcomes after a hair transplant by activating dormant follicles and improving healing.

A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and placed in a centrifuge.
The centrifuge spins the blood to separate it into its components: red blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
The PRP, which is highly concentrated with platelets and growth factors, is carefully extracted.
This concentrated PRP is then injected with a fine needle into the thinning areas of the scalp.
The growth factors in the PRP stimulate inactive hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.
