PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a natural treatment that uses your body’s healing growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and encourage thicker, healthier hair growth. At Skin Renew Day Spa, a small amount of your blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, and then injected into areas of thinning hair. This regenerative therapy helps restore volume, reduce hair shedding, and enhance scalp health without the need for surgery or downtime. It’s safe, effective, and entirely biocompatible.

Your PRP Hair Restoration Journey
Before PRP Hair Restoration…
- Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for at least one week.
- Refrain from alcohol and smoking for 24 to 48 hours.
- Eat a healthy meal and stay hydrated before your appointment.
- Wash your hair thoroughly the day of treatment.
- Avoid using hair products such as sprays, gels, or serums.
- Inform your provider of any medical conditions or medications.
- Discuss your hair loss history and goals during your consultation.
During PRP Hair Restoration…
During your PRP hair restoration session, a small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Once isolated, the PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp where thinning or hair loss is present. The process takes 45 to 60 minutes and is generally well tolerated. You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for hair restoration.
After PRP Hair Restoration…
- Avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours.
- Refrain from using hair products or styling tools for 1 to 2 days.
- Do not expose your scalp to direct sunlight or heat for 48 hours.
- Avoid strenuous exercise or sweating for the first 24 hours.
- Do not take anti-inflammatory medications unless approved by your provider.
- Expect mild redness, swelling, or tenderness that resolves within a day or two.
- Follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your specialist.
PRP Hair Restoration FAQs
How does PRP hair restoration work?
PRP hair restoration works by harnessing your body’s regenerative abilities. Platelet-rich plasma is derived from your blood and contains high concentrations of growth factors that stimulate cellular repair and tissue regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP activates dormant or weakened hair follicles, increases blood flow, and extends the growth phase of the hair cycle. This encourages the production of stronger, thicker hair over time.
Is PRP hair restoration painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injections. A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance your comfort.
How many treatments will I need?
An initial series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended, followed by maintenance every 6 to 12 months.
Is PRP hair restoration safe?
Yes. Since PRP uses your own blood, there’s minimal risk of allergic reaction or complications. The treatment is considered safe when performed by trained professionals.
Will I need to take time off work?
No. PRP treatment involves minimal to no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after treatment.
Is PRP effective for everyone?
PRP is most effective for individuals with early-stage hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss. It may be less effective for those with advanced balding or inactive follicles.
