What are PRP Hair Treatments?

PRP is obtained from your body's own natural healing proteins and cells. This is an all natural treatment that elevates the results of a microneedling service. PRP is a very safe treatment option to be used on any area of the body to assist in scar reduction, skin brightening, skin tightening, youthful skin, even skin tone, hyperpigmentation reduction, and more.

How It Works

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is obtained though your own blood - it is the plasma, platelets and growth factors that make up the gold liquid you see being injected! These components combined with microneedling encourage greater cell turnover, follicle stimulation, collagen production and much more! This means you’ll see thicker and better quality hair. PRP is great for hair thinning most prominently seen in the hairline, widows peak, and crown of the scalp. PRP can also be used for facial hair regrowth on beards and eyebrows.

PRP is truly the liquid gold that creates incredible results.

Treatment Areas

PRP can be used to treat areas of the face/scalp with hair! Here are the most common areas for a PRP Hair Restoration treatment:

  • Widows Peak

  • Hairline

  • Crown

  • Beard

  • Eyebrows
