What is a PRP Hair Restoration?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a non-surgical way to restore hair. We use your own blood cells and inject them into the thinning areas of your scalp. These cells provide growth factors that help wake up hair follicles and encourage new growth. At Boulder Valley Laser & Cosmetic, our PRP treatment works well for people with early to mid-stage hair thinning.
What To Expect During PRP Hair Restoration
Each PRP hair treatment at our practice takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Blood Draw: We start by taking a small amount of blood from your arm, just like a regular blood test. Usually, this means one or two vials.
- Centrifugation Stage: Next, we place your blood in a machine that spins it quickly for about 10 minutes. This process separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood.
- Injection: We then inject the concentrated PRP into the thinning areas of your scalp.
When To See Visible Results
You won’t see results immediately after your first PRP treatment. At Boulder Valley Laser & Cosmetic, we recommend three to four sessions for the best results, with each session spaced four to six weeks apart. While PRP supports and stimulates growth, results do vary and it’s not guaranteed to work for everyone.
You’ll notice less hair shedding within the first few months after treatment. Hair will usually look thicker and fuller between three and six months. Dr. Andrew Goldman suggests getting maintenance booster shots every 6 to 12 months to maintain your results, since hair loss can persist over time.
