PRP (platelet-rich plasma) Hair Restoration is a natural, minimally invasive treatment that uses your body’s own healing factors to combat thinning hair. Platelets contain growth factors that can stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve their function, and encourage thicker, healthier hair growth. At Lumiere Aesthetics, PRP Hair Restoration is performed under the direction of Dr. Elena Marchetti, MD, and is a popular option for both men and women experiencing early-stage hair thinning.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a simple blood draw, much like a routine lab test. The sample is then spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and separate the plasma. This platelet-rich plasma is carefully injected into the areas of the scalp where thinning is occurring. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable. The entire appointment takes about 45 to 60 minutes, and most clients return to normal activities the same day with only minor, temporary tenderness.
Results
PRP works gradually as the growth factors stimulate your follicles over time. An initial series of treatments, typically spaced about four weeks apart, is recommended for the best outcome, followed by periodic maintenance sessions. Many clients notice reduced shedding first, followed by improved thickness and density over several months. Results vary based on the individual and the degree of thinning, and PRP is most effective for early to moderate hair loss.
Good to Know
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is minimal. It works best as part of a consistent series and can complement a physician-recommended home care routine. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Marchetti’s team will evaluate your hair loss pattern and determine whether you are a good candidate.
