Can PRP Help Me Grow Thicker Hair?

Dreaming of thicker, fuller hair? Luxurious locks don’t have to be a thing of the past. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections offer a safe, natural way to restore your hair’s former glory.

Kelly DiStefano, MD, and the team at Montclair Rejuvenation Center specialize in PRP hair restoration, turning back the clock on hair loss and thinning hair. This innovative, nonsurgical procedure promotes hair growth and density using your body’s own restorative power.

If you’re one of over 80 million Americans dealing with hair loss, the solution may lie in your own blood. Let’s delve into the science behind PRP and how it can address your specific hair concerns.

Understanding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy

Platelets are tiny blood cells that play an essential role in wound healing. They release growth factors that stimulate cell regeneration and tissue repair. After an injury, your body naturally sends platelets to the affected area to clot the blood, preventing excessive blood loss and promoting healing.

PRP therapy works by harnessing the power of platelets that your body already has. We obtain PRP for your treatment by drawing a small blood sample and processing it using specialized equipment. This technique separates and concentrates the platelets, resulting in a solution full of these small but mighty cells.

Your hair’s secret weapon

Losing hair can negatively impact self-esteem and emotional well-being. While inner beauty shines through regardless, a full head of hair can still be a welcome boost to self-image and overall wellness. PRP therapy for hair restoration offers a drug-free, noninvasive option for achieving the hair of your dreams.

After our team prepares the PRP from your sample, we carefully inject it into targeted areas of your scalp. This allows the solution to stimulate growth at the base of the hair follicles directly.

Men often experience hair loss at the top and front of their scalp, while women may notice thinning at the crown and a widening part. However, PRP injections can address hair thinning or loss areas anywhere on the scalp.

PRP hair restoration stimulates hair growth and nourishes the hair follicles, promoting the development of thicker, healthier individual hair strands. This new growth is often stronger and less prone to premature shedding, leading to a fuller, more youthful-looking head of hair.

While we strive to make your treatment as comfortable as possible, you may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections. There may be some mild soreness or bruising after the procedure, but these side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days.

You can see improvements in your hair as early as one month after your initial appointment. For optimal results, we recommend a series of three PRP sessions spaced approximately one month apart. Twice-a-year maintenance treatments help sustain your results long term.
