What Is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy harnesses the healing components found naturally in your blood, specifically, growth factors and proteins concentrated from your platelets. Once injected into the scalp, these compounds stimulate collagen production, improve circulation, and encourage renewed hair growth in thinning areas. Because PRP comes from your body, there’s no risk of allergic reaction, and the treatment is safe and effective for most skin and hair types.

Is PRP Hair Restoration Right for You?

PRP is most effective for those in the early stages of hair loss or experiencing hair thinning, not complete baldness. You may be a good candidate if you:

Are noticing increased hair shedding or a widening part
Have a genetically inherited pattern of hair loss
Are in good overall health with no autoimmune disorders
Prefer a non-surgical approach to hair restoration
Want to enhance results following hair transplant surgery

PRP is not ideal for individuals with extensive hair loss or scarring alopecia, but may be combined with NeoGraft® FUE hair transplant for a comprehensive solution.

Your PRP Hair Restoration Experience

At Cheng Plastic Surgery, we begin with a detailed consultation and scalp assessment. If you’re a good candidate for PRP, your treatment will follow this three-step process:

1. Blood Draw & Processing

A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a high-speed centrifuge. This process isolates the platelet-rich plasma, often referred to as “liquid gold,” from the rest of your blood components.

2. Scalp Preparation

The targeted areas of the scalp are cleaned and numbed using a topical anesthetic for comfort.

3. PRP Injection

Using a very fine needle, the PRP is strategically injected into areas of thinning hair, stimulating the hair follicles beneath the scalp. Multiple injection sites ensure even coverage and optimal regrowth potential.

Recovery & Results

PRP Hair Restoration requires little to no downtime. Most patients return to work or regular activities immediately following their appointment. You may experience:

Mild soreness or scalp sensitivity for 1–2 days
Minimal swelling or pinpoint redness
Gradual improvements in hair density over several months

We recommend avoiding hair coloring or harsh styling products for 48–72 hours after treatment. Full results often become visible after three to six months, with follow-up sessions every 6–12 months to maintain growth.
