Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment that uses your own blood’s concentrated growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles, strengthen existing hair, and promote natural regrowth patterns. This innovative approach is ideal for those experiencing thinning hair, receding hairlines, or pattern baldness who want a natural solution without surgery or medications.
At The Collins Center, Dr. Beth Collins offers personalized PRP hair restoration treatments that leverage your body’s natural healing processes to revitalize your scalp and hair follicles, delivering gradual, natural-looking results that continue to improve over time with consistent treatment.

How PRP Hair Restoration Works
During a PRP hair restoration treatment, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed in a specialized centrifuge to isolate and concentrate the platelet-rich plasma – the portion containing powerful growth factors and healing proteins. This concentrated solution is then strategically injected into targeted areas of your scalp where hair thinning or loss is occurring.
These growth factors work by stimulating dormant hair follicles, extending the growth phase of your hair cycle, improving blood supply to the scalp, and strengthening existing hair. The entire procedure takes approximately 60-90 minutes, with minimal discomfort managed through topical numbing cream.
For optimal results, Dr. Collins typically recommends an initial series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months. Because PRP uses your body’s own healing factors, there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, making it a safe option for nearly all patients experiencing hair thinning or loss.
Whether you need surgical precision, metabolic wellness, or non-surgical refinement, we look at the big picture. Let’s design a unified treatment plan that addresses your health and beauty under one roof.

FAQs about PRP Hair Restoration
How soon will I see results from PRP hair restoration?
Most patients begin to notice reduced hair shedding within 2-3 weeks of their first treatment. Visible improvements in hair thickness and new growth typically become noticeable after 2-3 months, with continued improvement through 6-12 months with consistent treatment. Results develop gradually and naturally over time.
Is PRP hair restoration painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PRP hair restoration. We apply topical numbing cream before the procedure, and the injections are performed with microneedles. Many patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or pinpricks. There’s no pain or discomfort after treatment.
How many PRP treatments will I need?
For optimal results, we typically recommend an initial series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. After this initial series, maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain and enhance your results. Your specific treatment plan will be customized based on your degree of hair loss and response to treatment.
Are there any side effects from PRP hair treatments?
PRP hair restoration has minimal side effects since it uses your body’s own natural growth factors. Some patients may experience mild redness, tenderness, or swelling at injection sites for a few hours after treatment. There’s no downtime, and you can return to normal activities immediately after your appointment.
Who is not a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?
PRP may not be effective for completely bald areas where hair follicles are no longer functioning. Patients with certain blood disorders, active scalp infections, history of poor wound healing, or those taking blood thinners may not be suitable candidates. A consultation with Dr. Collins will determine if PRP is right for you.
How long do PRP hair restoration results last?
Results from PRP hair restoration can last 12-18 months with proper maintenance treatments. Since PRP doesn’t stop the underlying causes of hair loss, regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results. Many patients opt for maintenance sessions every 6-12 months.
Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments?
Yes, PRP hair restoration can be effectively combined with other hair loss treatments such as topical minoxidil, oral medications, or low-level laser therapy for enhanced results. During your consultation, Dr. Collins can recommend complementary treatments that may work synergistically with PRP to maximize your results.
