PRP / RPR Hair Restoration
Growth-factor rich therapy that improves follicle signaling, hair quality, and scalp regeneration
Regenerative Medicine
Autologous Growth Factor Therapy
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Plasma with Red Blood Cells (RPR) represent evidence-based regenerative treatments that harness your body's natural healing mechanisms to improve hair health and stimulate follicular activity.
These therapies concentrate growth factors, cytokines, and bioactive proteins from your own blood, delivering them directly to the scalp to enhance follicle function, improve hair thickness, and support long-term hair preservation.
Autologous
Derived from your own blood, eliminating risk of allergic reaction or rejection
Concentrated
3-5× concentration of growth factors compared to baseline blood levels
Targeted
Direct injection into scalp tissue for maximum follicular exposure
Science Behind PRP
How PRP/RPR Works for Hair Restoration
Multiple biological mechanisms contribute to improved hair health and growth
Growth Factor Signaling
Concentrated platelets release multiple growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, EGF, and IGF-1 to stimulate follicular activity and promote hair growth.
Angiogenesis & Blood Flow
Growth factors stimulate new blood vessel formation around hair follicles, improving nutrient delivery, oxygen supply, and waste removal.
Anagen Phase Prolongation
PRP/RPR extends the anagen (growth) phase while shortening the telogen (resting) phase, resulting in longer growth periods and increased density.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Bioactive proteins modulate scalp inflammation and create a healthier follicular microenvironment, reducing factors that contribute to hair loss.
Treatment Protocol
PRP/RPR Treatment Protocol
Physician-supervised procedure performed in-office with minimal downtime
Blood Collection
Small blood sample drawn (similar to routine lab work). Typically 30-60mL depending on treatment area.
Centrifugation & Processing
Blood processed in specialized centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors. PRP or RPR prepared based on treatment protocol.
Scalp Preparation
Treatment area cleansed and prepared. Optional topical anesthetic applied for patient comfort.
Microinjection Treatment
Physician performs systematic microinjections throughout treatment area, delivering concentrated growth factors directly to follicular level.
Post-Treatment Care
Minimal downtime. Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Specific aftercare instructions provided.
Initial Series
3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Maintenance
Every 4-6 months for sustained benefit
Duration
30-45 minutes per session
Clinical Applications
PRP/RPR Therapy Serves Multiple Roles
Standalone Treatment
For patients with early-stage hair loss or those not ready for surgery. Can slow progression and improve hair quality.
Surgical Enhancement
Performed during or after hair transplant to improve graft survival, accelerate healing, and enhance overall outcomes.
Combination Therapy
Used alongside medical therapy (finasteride, minoxidil) for synergistic effects and comprehensive hair preservation.
Female Hair Loss
Particularly effective for female pattern hair loss and diffuse thinning where surgery may not be first-line treatment.
Hair Preservation
Proactive treatment to maintain existing hair density and delay progression in at-risk patients.
Scalp Rejuvenation
Improves overall scalp health, reduces inflammation, and creates optimal environment for hair growth.
