What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy offers a promising solution for individuals dealing with thinning hair and hair loss from various causes. With its ability to promote hair growth, improve hair health, and provide a safe and natural option, PRP therapy has become a popular choice for those seeking to revitalize their hair and regain confidence.

How it Works

PRP therapy is a non-surgical procedure where a small amount of the patient’s blood is extracted, processed to concentrate the platelets, and then injected back into the scalp. The growth factors in the platelets help stimulate hair follicles, promoting increased hair growth and thickness. Additionally, PRP therapy can enhance blood flow to the scalp, crucial for healthy hair growth.
