Your PRP Journey: Step by Step

1

Free Consultation

We evaluate your hair loss pattern, review your medical history, examine your scalp, and discuss your goals. We'll determine if PRP is the right treatment for you.

2

Pre-Treatment Prep

Topical numbing cream is applied to your scalp 20-30 minutes before the procedure. Meanwhile, a small blood sample (30-60 mL) is drawn from your arm.

3

PRP Processing

Your blood is placed in a medical-grade centrifuge that spins at high speed for 10-15 minutes, separating the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.

4

Precise Injections

Using a fine needle, the concentrated PRP is injected into targeted areas of your scalp in a precise grid pattern, delivering growth factors directly to weakened follicles.

Before, During, and After Your PRP Session

Before Your Appointment

  • 3-5 days before: Stop blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) — consult your doctor first
  • 24 hours before: Stay well-hydrated — drink plenty of water
  • Morning of: Wash your hair with regular shampoo (no styling products)
  • Before arriving: Eat a light meal — don't come on an empty stomach
  • What to wear: A button-down or zip-up shirt to avoid pulling anything over your scalp after treatment

During the Procedure

The entire session takes approximately 45-60 minutes. Here's the timeline:

  • Minutes 1-5: Blood draw from your arm (quick and simple)
  • Minutes 5-20: Numbing cream application + blood centrifuge processing (you can relax, read, or use your phone)
  • Minutes 20-45: PRP injections across targeted scalp areas
  • Minutes 45-60: Post-treatment review and scheduling your next session
