PRP for Hair Restoration: Does It Really Work?

Hair loss can feel frustrating, even overwhelming. Whether it’s thinning at the crown, a receding hairline, or overall volume loss, many people experience changes in their hair that affect confidence and self-image. But there’s a treatment gaining serious attention for its natural approach and promising results: PRP therapy.

At VIVE Medical Spa, we offer PRP for hair restoration to help both men and women restore hair health without surgery or harsh medications. But does it really work? Let’s explore the science behind PRP and what you can realistically expect.

What Is PRP and How Does It Work?

PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. It’s a treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth.

Here’s how it works:

  1. A small amount of your blood is drawn, just like a routine blood test.
  2. The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate out the plasma that’s rich in platelets.
  3. This concentrated plasma is injected directly into your scalp in areas where hair is thinning.

Platelets contain growth factors—natural proteins that help heal tissues and regenerate cells. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate the hair follicles, encourage circulation, and promote new growth in dormant or weakened follicles.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP therapy works best for individuals who:

  • Are experiencing early stages of hair thinning or shedding
  • Have androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
  • Still have active but weakened hair follicles
  • Want a natural, drug-free alternative to traditional hair loss treatments

PRP may not be as effective for individuals with severe or complete baldness, as the treatment relies on stimulating existing follicles.

What to Expect During a PRP Session

A PRP hair restoration session at VIVE Medical Spa is quick, safe, and minimally invasive.

Here’s what happens:

  • Prep: Your scalp is cleaned and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort.
  • Blood Draw: A small blood sample is taken and processed.
  • Injection: The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using a fine needle.

The whole session typically takes under an hour, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Does PRP Really Work for Hair Growth?

Short answer: Yes, for the right candidates.

Studies and clinical experience show that PRP therapy can significantly improve hair thickness, density, and overall scalp health. Most patients start to notice changes after 3 to 4 sessions, spaced about a month apart.

Improvements include:

  • Reduced hair shedding
  • Increased hair thickness and volume
  • Revitalized dormant follicles
  • Healthier scalp condition

While it’s not a miracle cure, PRP offers real, visible improvement when combined with consistent treatment and realistic expectations.

How Many PRP Treatments Will You Need?

Results build over time. Most patients follow a series of sessions like this:

  • Initial phase: 3–4 monthly treatments
  • Maintenance phase: 1 session every 4–6 months to maintain growth

Your provider at VIVE Medical Spa will create a personalized plan based on your hair goals and condition.

Advantages of PRP Over Other Hair Treatments

Why do people love PRP? Because it’s:

  • 100% natural – no drugs or synthetic chemicals involved
  • Minimally invasive – no downtime or major recovery
  • Safe and biocompatible – uses your own body’s healing power
  • Effective for early-stage hair loss with measurable results

And unlike medications like minoxidil or finasteride, PRP doesn’t come with long-term side effects.
