If you're experiencing hair loss, you're not alone. It's a common issue that affects millions of people worldwide. Fortunately, there are several treatments available that can help you restore your hair and regain your confidence. One such treatment is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy.
Science-Backed Hair Regrowth
PRP therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses your body's own platelets to stimulate hair growth. During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets. The concentrated platelets are then injected into your scalp, releasing growth factors that promote the growth of new hair follicles. Aesthetic MdR, led by Dr. Luis Macias, is one of the leading providers of PRP therapy for hair loss in the Los Angeles area.

One of the main benefits of PRP for hair loss is that it is a natural treatment option. The platelets used in PRP therapy are taken from your own blood, so there is no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. This makes PRP therapy a safe and effective treatment option for many people.
Another benefit of PRP therapy is that it can help to improve the overall health of your scalp and hair. The platelets in the PRP solution contain growth factors that can help stimulate the growth of new hair follicles and improve the health of existing hair follicles.
PRP therapy is also a minimally invasive treatment option. The procedure involves injecting the PRP solution into your scalp, which can be done in approximately 30 minutes. There is no need for incisions or sutures, and minimal downtime after the procedure.
PRP for Hair Loss Candidates
Treating hair loss with PRP is an effective solution for most men and women, but here are some specific factors that may make you a good candidate for PRP therapy:
- You have androgenetic alopecia, which is a common form of hair loss caused by genetics and hormones
- You have alopecia areata, which is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss in patches
- You have telogen effluvium, which is a temporary form of hair loss caused by stress, illness, or medication
- You have thinning hair or hair loss that is not severe enough to require hair transplant surgery
- You are in good overall health and do not have any medical conditions that could interfere with the treatment
- You are willing to commit to multiple treatment sessions, as PRP therapy requires a series of injections over several months
The Procedure of PRP for Hair Loss
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm during a PRP treatment for hair loss. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge, separating the platelets from the rest. The platelets are then injected into the scalp, releasing growth factors that stimulate hair growth.
After a PRP treatment for hair loss, you may experience some mild redness and swelling in the treated area. These symptoms typically subside within a few hours to a day. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure, but avoiding strenuous exercise or activities that may cause excessive sweating for at least 24 hours is essential.
The full results of a PRP treatment for hair loss may not be noticeable for several months. You may require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. It's important to follow Dr. Macias’ recommendations for the number and frequency of treatments.
Overall, PRP for hair loss is a safe and effective treatment option for many individuals experiencing hair loss. You may achieve fuller, thicker hair and improved confidence with proper treatment and follow-up care.
