Who may benefit from PRP?
PRP uses a sample of your own blood, processed to concentrate platelets, for injection into selected scalp areas. Evidence is most developed for male and female pattern hair loss with remaining follicles; responses vary. It cannot create new follicles in a smooth bald area. Sudden shedding, scaling, pain or patchy loss needs diagnosis first, sometimes including tests. PRP for alopecia areata is not a routine first-line substitute for established treatment, and beard-thinning evidence is more limited.
How is a medical plan made?
Dr. Teresa Moreno, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, DC, leads the clinic as Founder & Clinical Director. A consultation reviews your pattern of loss, medication list, previous treatment and goals. The team determines whether PRP is suitable, whether testing or a different therapy comes first, and how results will be assessed. There is no universal protocol that can responsibly be promised before an exam. Confirm who performs the injections and request a written schedule and aftercare plan.
What timeline and limitations should you expect?
Hair cycles are slow, so assess a course over months rather than days. An initial series and later maintenance may be discussed based on diagnosis and response. Baseline photographs can help compare progress, but no session count guarantees density or beard growth. PRP does not replace a transplant where follicles are absent or medical treatment for an inflammatory scalp disease. The clinician may discuss minoxidil or other treatment; do not start or stop medicines based on a blog.
What happens after a session?
Temporary tenderness, swelling or small spots of bleeding can occur. Keep the area clean and follow instructions about washing, topical products, hats and activity. Our existing aftercare guide discusses a cautious first 24 to 48 hours; your own written instructions take priority. Increasing pain, spreading redness, fever or drainage warrants prompt assessment.
