FAQs
Am I a candidate for PRP?

- Secondary Response Stage: Increased rate of hair growth and thickness of hair shaft. (thicker, and improvement in length) (commonly 1-4 months of treatment)
- Third Response Stage: Stimulation of dormant follicles to regrow. (wide variations, 1cm per month for health follicles, commonly correlated with severity of condition, some may take 6 months to see improvement)
- Final Response Stage: Maintenance of healthy hair, and regrowth.

Are PRP treatments painful?
An effective anesthetic cold ambient air is used to reduce the discomfort from the injection.

Can PRP cure baldness?
PRP is NOT a cure for baldness. Patients with shiny areas of complete hair loss will not regrow hair in these areas. PRP is indicated for thinning, and hair growth cycle stabilization. Commonly, PRP can help treat the causes of these disturbances, and provide the ability for everyone to reach their healthiest hair potential.
