Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for Hair Restoration in Pittsburgh
By the age of 60 years, 45% of men and 35% of women develop alopecia or hair loss. Currently, FDA-approved treatments for alopecia include oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. Due to the limited number of effective therapies, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become an effective alternative treatment. PRP hair restoration in Pittsburgh uses platelets from your own blood to stimulate hair regrowth and improve hair density, making it ideal for men and women of all ages experiencing thinning hair.
PRP contains numerous growth factors that contribute to hair regeneration. The growth factors contained act on stem cells in the hair follicles and stimulate the development of new follicles.

Procedure
One of our experienced staff draws a small amount of blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge to extract the platelets. After a topical numbing agent is applied to your scalp, the PRP is then injected at specific locations using tiny microneedles. Approximately 30 minutes later, the treatment is complete!
Follow-up
Follow-up treatments are recommended about once a month for the first 3 months, with maintenance treatments every 3 months for one year (total 6 treatments). Visible results typically appear within the first few months of treatment.
