Platelet-Rich-Plasma (or PRP) has shown to promote healing when injected into affected areas. Your plasma is part of an element of your blood, which contains unique proteins that enable your blood to clot and support cell growth.
Researchers have found when your plasma is isolated from your blood and injected into either damaged tissues, tendons, or your scalp, healthy cells, and new growth happen. Dr. Stark will discuss your hair loss concerns and devise a custom approach using PRP injections that works best to achieve your desired result.
Ideal hair restoration patients include men and women who are wanting a solution to their hair loss. Hair restoration candidates should be in overall good health, a non-smoker or willing to quit, and not have any active infections, which may cause complications.
It’s important to note that smoking restricts blood flow. If you currently smoke, Dr. Stark will need to know you will stop smoking at least six weeks before your treatment and refrain from smoking after surgery. For new hair growth to generate, it will need all of your unrestricted blood flow to help heal and regenerate new growth.

Next, the platelets are injected into your scalp, where you have significant hair loss. The PRP stimulates hair growth and takes about 40 minutes for the entire treatment.
Hair restoration isn’t just for a full head of hair; it can also rejuvenate hair growth in other places of your body, including:

Additional maintenance treatments are recommended after your final third treatment, but Dr. Stark will discuss any follow-up treatments with you as needed. In several weeks to a couple of months, you may see new hair growth.
