Overview

What Is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentration of growth-factor-rich proteins derived from your own blood. These proteins play a key role in cell development, tissue repair, and healing. In a medical context, PRP has long been used to accelerate recovery from injury. In a cosmetic context, it is used to stimulate new skin cell development, enhance the results of other treatments, and support hair restoration in areas of thinning or loss.

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it is well-tolerated and considered safe for most patients.

The Process

What to Expect

A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The PRP is then loaded into a syringe and injected into the treatment area. When used alongside a primary treatment such as microneedling or skin resurfacing, PRP is introduced at the time of that appointment. For hair restoration, PRP is injected directly into areas of the scalp experiencing thinning or loss.

Recovery

Results and Recovery

PRP therapy requires no specific downtime. When used in combination with another treatment, it may actually reduce the recovery time associated with that primary procedure. Results are progressive and develop as the growth factors stimulate new cell activity in the treated area.

Hair Restoration

PRP for Hair Restoration

PRP injected into the scalp can support new hair growth and restore density in areas of thinning. A typical treatment protocol includes injections every 4 to 6 weeks initially, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months. Many patients experience meaningful improvement in hair growth and thickness, though individual results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PRP therapy a standalone treatment?

PRP is most often used to complement a primary treatment rather than as a standalone procedure. It enhances outcomes and supports faster healing when paired with microneedling, skin resurfacing, or subcision for acne scarring. For hair restoration, it is used as its own treatment protocol.

Is PRP safe?

Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of adverse reaction is very low. Dr. Ayala will review your health history during your consultation to confirm you are a good candidate.

How many PRP sessions will I need for hair restoration?

A standard hair restoration protocol typically begins with treatments every 4 to 6 weeks, followed by maintenance every 4 to 6 months. The number of sessions needed varies by individual. Dr. Ayala will outline a personalized plan during your consultation.
