What You Need to Know About Getting PRP Hair Restoration Treatment in Atlanta

What is PRP Hair Restoration Treatment?

PRP hair treatment is a minimally invasive medical hair restoration procedure using injected platelet-rich plasma taken from the patient’s own blood. The Platelet-Rich Plasma is injected directly into the patient’s scalp to provide nutrients and growth factors critical for hair health and regrowth.

Because PRP utilizes a patient’s own plasma, age can affect the treatment’s efficacy. Younger patients typically make higher-quality PRP, which is more likely to result in hair restoration. Patients above the age of 60, smokers, or those on medications for autoimmune disease may produce lower-quality PRP which can sometimes make the treatment less effective.

PRP injections are best for patients with a receding hairline or partial hair loss. We don’t recommend it for people who do not have any hair or have balding areas with few fine hair strands.

PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Risks & Side Effects

One benefit of choosing plasma injections for hair loss is that there is little to no risk since we inject your body’s own plasma. Patients may see a little bruising in the injection area, but this should clear up in a few days.

PRP hair restoration is safe for patients who are pregnant, but we always recommend checking with your doctor first. Topical serums for hair loss, like Finasteride and Minoxidil, are not safe for patients who are pregnant or have young children.

PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Pre & Aftercare Guide

What To Expect During The Procedure

Treatment time: PRP hair treatments take approximately 30-45 minutes.
Blood draw: Our medical staff will draw 1-2 vials of your blood to prepare the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
PRP preparation: The vials are placed into a centrifuge that spins at 3,000 RPM for 10 minutes. This process separates the red blood cells, leaving a concentrated layer of platelet-rich plasma.
PRP injections: One of our medical practitioners will inject the platelet-rich plasma into your scalp. Around 12 syringes are typically used during each treatment.

To help you know what to expect during treatment:

Comfort level: While PRP hair treatment is generally not painful, it can be uncomfortable. Many patients describe a burning sensation, and your scalp may feel sore for a couple of days after the procedure. Others experience very little discomfort, depending on their pain tolerance.
Numbing options: To make the treatment more comfortable, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the injection area while the PRP is being prepared.
Cold air chiller: We also provide a cold air chiller that blows on the scalp during treatment to help reduce the burning sensation.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery: Bruising or discomfort from the PRP injections typically subsides within a few days.
Hair care: Avoid chemical coloring, straightening, or other hair processing treatments for at least one week after your procedure.
Results timeline: Hair growth develops gradually. Most patients begin to notice improvement after several months as the platelet-rich plasma stimulates the hair follicles and supports new hair growth.
Topical support: Some patients may benefit from using a nightly topical serum containing finasteride and minoxidil to complement their PRP treatments. When used together, this combination may help enhance hair restoration results.
Treatment series: Most patients achieve the best results with 4-6 PRP treatments, typically performed once a month.
Maintenance: After completing the initial treatment series, maintenance injections every six months are generally recommended to help preserve your results.
