PRP for Hair uses growth factors from your own blood to support thinning hair. After a quick blood draw, the platelet rich portion of your plasma is separated and concentrated, then injected into the scalp with fine needles where thinning is visible. The growth factors are thought to reawaken weakened follicles, strengthen existing strands and improve scalp health.
It is designed for men and women with early to moderate thinning, a widening part or a receding hairline who want to avoid surgery. At our Merrick clinic, your provider evaluates your pattern of hair loss, documents density with photos and plans a series of sessions, often with the option to add minoxidil for extra support.

What to Expect
Your consultation reviews your hair history, family pattern and health, and photos record your starting density. On treatment day, blood is drawn and processed while numbing is applied to your scalp. Your provider then places small injections across thinning areas; most people feel pressure and brief stinging. The scalp may feel tender for a day. Hold off on washing, harsh products and heavy sweating for the time advised, and return for your next scheduled session.
