Use your own blood to restore luscious hair
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is an innovative treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing power to combat hair loss. The procedure involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets rich in growth factors, and then injecting this plasma into your scalp. These growth factors stimulate hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and thickening existing hair. PRP is a minimally invasive, virtually pain-free treatment that offers noticeable, natural results with minimal downtime.

Your PRP hair restoration experience
Consultation
Your journey to thicker, healthier hair begins with a consultation with Dr. Colgrove. During this visit, Dr. Colgrove will assess your hair loss, discuss your goals, and determine if PRP hair restoration is right for you. He will explain the process in detail, answer any questions you may have, and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Surgery
Dr. Colgrove will start by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, which is rich in growth factors. After numbing your scalp to ensure your comfort, Dr. Colgrove will carefully inject the PRP into targeted areas of your scalp where hair thinning or loss is most prominent. The procedure takes about an hour.
Recovery
Following PRP hair restoration, you can expect minimal downtime. Most patients return to their daily activities immediately. You may experience some mild tenderness, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects subside within a few days. Dr. Colgrove will provide specific aftercare instructions to maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.
Results
Hair growth from PRP treatment is a gradual process. You may begin to notice improvements in hair thickness and density within a few months. The most noticeable results appear after three to six months, with continued improvements as you follow up with additional treatments as recommended by Dr. Colgrove. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting.
PRP hair restoration FAQs
How does PRP hair restoration work?
PRP hair restoration catalyzes the body’s natural healing properties. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from your blood, is rich in growth factors and proteins that stimulate cellular repair and regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP promotes the activity of hair follicles and increases blood flow to the treated area. This process triggers the growth phase of the hair cycle, encouraging dormant hair follicles to produce new, thicker strands and enhancing the overall health and density of your hair.
Is PRP hair restoration painful?
PRP hair restoration is generally considered virtually pain-free. The scalp is numbed before the injections, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure. You may experience mild discomfort during and after the injections, but this is usually minimal and temporary.
How many PRP sessions will I need?
The number of PRP sessions depends on your individual hair loss pattern and goals. Most patients start with three to four treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. After the initial series, maintenance sessions every three to six months are recommended to sustain the results.
