If you’re experiencing the early signs of hair loss, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy offers a groundbreaking approach to restoring healthy hair growth. At Braun Dermatology, we provide advanced PRP for hair loss in Washington DC to help patients regain thicker, fuller hair naturally.
PRP is a concentrated component derived from your own blood that contains powerful growth factors. These growth factors trigger cell regeneration and have been used in medicine for decades to promote wound healing. In dermatology, PRP has proven remarkably effective at rejuvenating hair follicles that have begun to weaken, helping them produce thicker, healthier hair strands.
Hair loss affects both men and women, though the patterns differ. Women often experience overall thinning across the scalp, with hair becoming finer and more fragile over time. This can result from stress, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, certain medications, or genetics. Men typically lose hair at the crown, temples, and hairline due to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that causes follicles to shrink. Regardless of the cause, catching hair loss early gives you the best chance for successful treatment.
The treatment process is straightforward and minimally invasive. During your visit to Braun Dermatology, we’ll draw a small blood sample and process it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. This concentrated PRP is then carefully injected into areas of your scalp where hair follicles need stimulation. The entire procedure takes approximately 90 minutes.
The growth factors in PRP work by awakening dormant hair follicles and encouraging them to produce stronger, healthier hair. Because we’re using your body’s own healing properties, there’s no risk of rejection or adverse reactions.
PRP for hair loss in Washington DC is ideal for patients experiencing thinning hair, finer hair strands, hair loss from tight hairstyles, early-stage pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia. It’s also used as a complementary treatment alongside hair transplant procedures to enhance results.
Most patients need a series of treatments spaced about one month apart for optimal results, followed by annual maintenance sessions. There’s no downtime after treatment, so you can return to your normal activities immediately. You may notice slight redness or tenderness at injection sites, which quickly resolves. Wait 12 hours before shampooing and avoid chemical treatments like coloring or perming for at least three days.
Results typically become visible within three months after your first treatment as new hair growth emerges and existing hair becomes thicker and stronger.
