Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Hair Stimulation

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair stimulation is a physician-performed treatment designed to support hair growth and improve hair density by harnessing the body’s own regenerative potential. Using a concentrated form of your own platelets, PRP delivers growth factors to the scalp that help stimulate hair follicles, improve follicle health, and support the hair growth cycle. PRP is a non-surgical option for patients experiencing hair thinning who are seeking a natural, biologically driven approach.

How PRP for Hair Works

PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to isolate a concentrated layer rich in platelets and growth factors. This PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp. These growth factors signal hair follicles to re-enter or prolong the active growth phase, improve blood supply to the scalp, and support thicker, healthier hair over time.


What PRP Treats

  • Early to moderate hair thinning

  • Androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)

  • Diffuse hair shedding

  • Thinning related to hormonal or stress-related changes

  • Overall scalp and follicle health


PRP is most effective when initiated early, before significant follicle miniaturization has occurred. It is ideal for patients who prefer a non-surgical, drug-free option who want to support hair density and scalp health naturally.


Downtime & Results

There is no downtime after PRP injections, though patients may experience mild scalp tenderness or tightness for about 24 hours. Temporary redness or pinpoint swelling at injection sites may be present as well. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.


Reduced shedding may be noticed within a few months. Gradual improvement in hair thickness and density develops over time. Best results are typically seen with a series of treatments, followed by maintenance sessions as recommended. PRP supports existing follicles and improves hair quality—it does not create new follicles.


The Skinfocused Approach

At Skinfocused, PRP for hair restoration is part of a thoughtful, physician-guided hair health strategy—never a one-size-fits-all solution.

Our approach includes:

  • Comprehensive evaluation of hair loss patterns and contributing factors

  • Physician-performed treatments using sterile technique

  • Integration with evidence-based medical and topical therapies when appropriate

  • Long-term planning focused on preservation, stimulation, and maintenance


Our goal is to support healthier, fuller-appearing hair in a natural, understated way, with realistic expectations and carefully guided care.
