A Natural, Non-Surgical Solution for Thinning Hair
If you’re experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss, PRP therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma) offers a safe, effective, and non-surgical treatment option. At Braun Dermatology, we use the latest in regenerative technology to help reactivate dormant hair follicles and promote thicker, healthier hair, using your body’s own natural healing power.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves drawing a small sample of your blood, separating the platelet-rich plasma in a specialized centrifuge, and carefully injecting that concentrated plasma into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning.
These platelets are rich in growth factors that:
- Stimulate inactive or weakened hair follicles
- Improve scalp circulation
- Encourage new, natural hair growth
PRP is especially effective for male and female pattern hair loss, as well as early-stage thinning where active follicles are still present.
What to Expect from PRP Treatment
PRP therapy is typically performed in a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions to sustain results.
- Most patients begin to see improvement within 2–3 months
- The treatment is minimally invasive, with little to no downtime
- Mild side effects such as temporary scalp tenderness or swelling may occur but usually resolve quickly
Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is extremely low.
Is PRP Right for You?
PRP is ideal for individuals with early to moderate hair thinning and active hair follicles. It may not be suitable for those with complete baldness or scarring alopecia. During your consultation, our specialists will determine if PRP is the best approach for your hair restoration goals.
PRP can also be combined with other treatments such as:
- Topical or oral medications
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
- Hair transplant procedures (including ARTAS® or NeoGraft®)
