What Is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into targeted areas of the scalp. These concentrated platelets release growth factors that repair damaged tissue, boost circulation, and help restart the natural hair growth process.

Northeast Hair Restoration Backed by Research, Delivered with Expertise

At Northeast Hair Restoration, we’ve performed over 7,000 PRP treatments and know what works. Whether you’re seeing early signs of thinning or looking to enhance the results of a transplant, PRP is a safe, natural way to stimulate hair growth at the root.

Science-Driven Results

PRP uses your platelets, which are rich in growth factors, to wake up sluggish hair follicles and improve blood supply to the scalp. It’s a regenerative treatment that jumpstarts the natural hair cycle.

Ideal for Early to Moderate Thinning

PRP works best before hair follicles are permanently lost. If you’re noticing increased shedding, reduced volume, or a receding hairline, this could be an ideal time to start.

Boosts Other Treatments

PRP is often used alongside No Shave FUE, Laser Cap therapy, or Optimal Platelet Concentration (OPC) Therapy to strengthen results and improve density.

No Surgery, No Downtime

Treatments are quick, in-office, and require no recovery period. You can head back to work the same day.

Tailored to You

We don’t follow a one-size-fits-all protocol. Your PRP treatment plan will be personalized based on your hair loss pattern, goals, and response to therapy.

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP might be a great option if:

  • You’re noticing early thinning, shedding, or reduced volume
  • You’re not ready for surgery or want to avoid downtime
  • You’ve had a transplant and want to protect the surrounding hair
  • You’re looking for a natural, medication-free approach
  • You want to improve scalp health and follicle activity

It’s especially effective in cases of androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss)—when follicles are still present but producing weaker, thinner hair.

What to Expect A Safe, Simple Treatment With Long-Term Benefits

Consultation & Evaluation

We’ll start with an assessment to determine if PRP is the right choice for your type and stage of hair loss. If so, we’ll outline a personalized treatment schedule.

The Procedure

  • A small blood draw is taken from your arm
  • Blood is spun in a centrifuge to isolate platelets
  • Platelet-rich plasma is injected into targeted areas of the scalp
  • The entire process takes about 45–60 minutes
  • No anesthesia, sedation, or recovery required

Results Timeline

  • Most men see a decrease in shedding within a few weeks
  • Hair thickness and density begin improving around 3–4 months

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

Does PRP hurt?

Most patients report only minor discomfort during the injections. We use numbing and small needles to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

How many sessions will I need?

Typically, a series of 3–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 months.

Are there any side effects?

Because PRP uses your blood, there’s little to no risk of allergic reaction. Mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites may occur briefly.

Can I combine PRP with other treatments?

Yes. PRP is often used alongside FUE transplants, laser therapy, or oral/topical medications for comprehensive care.

Will PRP regrow hair in completely bald areas?

No. PRP works best when follicles are still active. It’s designed to thicken existing hair and slow loss, not regrow hair where follicles are no longer viable.

Use Your Growth Factors to Regrow Stronger Hair

PRP is safe, natural, and backed by science. It can deliver powerful, visible results when used at the right time. If you’re not ready for surgery or want to stay ahead of hair loss, PRP could be the boost your scalp needs.
