Overview
What is Hair PRP?
Hair PRP places your own platelet-rich plasma across thinning areas of the scalp. The growth factors in the platelets support the hair follicles and help slow shedding.
It works best for early thinning and is done as a short course. We check your scalp, pattern of loss and history first, and look for other causes such as low iron or thyroid problems.
