How Does PRP for Hair Work?
Hair loss occurs when hair follicles weaken, shrink, or enter a dormant state. Some common causes of hair loss include genetics, pattern baldness, stress, hormone imbalance, inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, and reduced circulation to the scalp. Female clients who experience hair loss may notice additional signs of hormonal changes or chronic stress.
When you receive PRP hair, a separation technique called centrifugation is used to isolate the platelets from your blood and produce a high concentration of plasma with elevated platelet content. When injected into specific regions of your scalp, the growth factors contained in this plasma can help stimulate dormant hair follicles, reinforce remaining hair and provide ongoing support for healthy hair growth.

Before the Treatment
Your hair restoration journey begins with a Comprehensive Consultation. Dr. Naz will review your medical history, current medications, dietary supplements, lifestyle factors and any medical conditions that may affect healing. If applicable, Dr. Naz may recommend adjustments to blood-thinning medications before treatment. Patients are encouraged to stay hydrated and eat prior to blood draw to minimize discomfort.
The Treatment
- A small amount of blood is drawn from a vein similar to routine lab work.
- Blood samples are then processed using special equipment and centrifugation to separate plasma from red blood cells.
- Resulting PRP- your own plasma enriched with platelets- is carefully prepared.
- PRP is injected into precise areas of the scalp using fine needles.
Typically the procedure takes approximately 45–60 minutes. Many clients find the treatment to be minimal pain. Also, topical numbing may be used to improve comfort.
