Platelet Rich Plasma - PRP for Hair Loss
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy has shown tremendous promise for its healing and regenerative benefits in the realm of cosmetic dermatology and non-surgical hair restoration. This innovative, low-risk procedure has been utilized for years to speed the recovery of joint and sports injuries. Today, dermatologists use PRP injections to help patients regrow thinning hair.
If you are searching for a non-invasive and natural way to stimulate the body’s own healing process, contact Dallas Dermatology Partners for a consult regarding platelet rich plasma treatment.

PRP therapy injects a nominal amount of the patient’s concentrated blood into targeted areas to accelerate the body’s innate healing abilities. A small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. It contains growth factors that stimulate cell repair and proliferation. Since this high concentration of healing platelets is derived from the patient’s own blood, the procedure is safe and carries no risk of complications.
Both men and women suffering from thinning hair or alopecia can benefit from platelet rich plasma therapy. Ideal candidates are those with male pattern baldness, patients whose hair loss began within the past few years, and women with hair loss caused by hormonal changes or chemotherapy treatments. It can also lead to improvement in patients with conditions such as lichen planopilaris and frontal fibrosing alopecia.
Our board-certified dermatologists will review all guidelines before your PRP hair regrowth treatment. Patients may be asked to discontinue certain medications one day before their PRP injections and are encouraged to stay well-hydrated and rested.
The duration of treatment will vary, but PRP injections typically last anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour. Since downtime is minimal, patients can return to their normal daily routine right away.
Patients can expect some redness, swelling, and possible bruising at the injection site, but these side effects should resolve within 72 hours.
Since PRP for hair regrowth is not a permanent cure, ongoing treatments can ensure the results are maintained.
