How PRP Can Help With Hair Loss Treatment
As we age, our hair begins to thin and our hair follicles are no longer able to produce new hair growth. This process can be sped up due to hormonal changes, stress, or other factors. There are many treatment options on the market that can help to slow hair loss and promote hair growth.
At our Manhattan dermatology office, we offer an effective hair loss treatment known as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which can help individuals who are dealing with hair loss. Many NYC plastic surgeons refer patients to our office for PRP as a hair loss treatment solution. We invite you to contact our office to book an initial consultation to discuss if PRP treatment is the right for you.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has become a game changer in dermatology, utilizing the body's own resources to promote healing, hair loss treatment, and skin rejuvenation. The process is straightforward yet remarkable. We begin by drawing a patient’s blood, which is then spun down in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is packed with vascular growth factors, and when injected into the scalp or skin, it acts like a natural fertilizer, accelerating growth and encouraging tissue repair. PRP treatment can be a particularly appealing option for patients who prefer organic, chemical-free treatments, as we’re using your own blood, not a foreign substance.
Who Benefits Most from PRP Treatment?
Patients who benefit most from PRP treatment tend to be those dealing with androgenetic alopecia, the genetic hair loss commonly known as male or female pattern baldness. PRP can also be beneficial for patients experiencing hair shedding or scarring-related hair loss. It’s most effective when used early, as maintaining existing hair is always easier than regrowing lost follicles. For individuals hesitant about using pharmaceuticals or chemicals, PRP offers an organic alternative to hair loss treatment. However, it’s worth noting that while PRP for hair loss treatment is highly beneficial, it often works best as part of a comprehensive hair loss treatment plan rather than a standalone miracle cure.
Discover The Versatile Uses of PRP Treatment!
What makes PRP treatment truly versatile is its range of applications. While it’s perhaps best known for hair loss treatment, it’s also incredibly effective for skin rejuvenation and collagen remodeling. We often use PRP treatment in conjunction with microneedling to help improve the skin’s texture and even diminish the appearance of scars and wrinkles.
PRP treatments can be a standalone solution, or they can be paired with other therapies like minoxidil or finasteride for enhanced results. Studies have shown that when these therapies are used in combination with each other, they often yield better outcomes than using any one treatment alone.


The PRP Treatment Experience
The PRP treatment experience is surprisingly simple and minimally painful. After an initial assessment to determine if PRP is suitable for the patient, we draw blood and prepare the plasma, which only takes a few minutes. For comfort, we offer options like ice packs or even nitrous oxide, though most patients find the procedure quite tolerable.
The entire process, from start to finish, typically takes less than 30 minutes, making it convenient for busy schedules. While there may be some mild swelling or bumps immediately after the injections, they usually dissipate within a few hours.
