Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy

Personalized solutions… advanced technology… stronger hair: we offer a viable solution for female hair loss with Optimal Platelet Concentration™ (OPC) Therapy. This advanced treatment for female hair loss is exclusively offered by Medi Tresse, leading experts in female hair loss since 2015.

What Is OPC Therapy?

Like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, our OPC therapy procedure relies on platelet-rich plasma to fight hair loss, but it takes the treatment one step further. What differentiates OPC therapy from other treatments is our ability to personalize your treatment by providing an optimal number of platelets.

Why Personalization Matters

Research has shown that getting to between 1.4 billion to 1.6 billion platelets supports blood vessels and hair restoration. Our advanced technology allows our practice to determine the patient’s initial platelet count to customize their treatment and more likely get their final PRP solution in this optimal range.
What makes this treatment approach different from PRP Therapy is our use of advanced technology to get the baseline platelet counts on the day of the treatment. We do this right in the office on the day of your treatment.

What to Expect

Three treatments a month apart are initially needed and then booster treatments every 6 to 12 months to maintain results.
Armed with that information, we can modify your final platelet solution to provide an ideal concentration for your hair restoration.
Successful treatment has been shown to stop hair loss, reactivate dormant follicles, and thicken existing hairs.

Medi Tresse is proud to be one of the first female hair loss clinics to provide customized platelet concentrations. This technique helps repair hair follicles and the blood vessels around them to boost key nutrients necessary for hair health.

OPC Therapy Stimulates Repair and Recovery

Both PRP Therapy and Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy rely on platelet-rich plasma to encourage the restoration of blood vessels and hair follicles. The platelets in our blood play a natural role in restoring and repairing physical damages. OPC therapy has been shown to be effective with patients with Androgenic Alopecia (Female Pattern Hair Loss), Alopecia Areata, Scarring Alopecia, and Traction Alopecia.

Restoring both the follicles and blood vessels is an important part of your treatment. By making sure blood vessels that support follicles are repaired, we can help sustain your positive results and give you lasting confidence after treatment! Platelet counts are taken at all offices.

We understand you may have questions about which treatment is right for you, so we welcome you to book your consultation online or call us at one of our many convenient locations. In the meantime, check out our helpful case studies on the use of OPC therapy, as well as before and after results for OPC, and blogs on painless OPC therapy.

Optimal Platelet Concentration Therapy (OPC) Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy Different From PRP Therapy?

Both PRP Therapy and Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy rely on platelet rich plasma to encourage the restoration of hair follicles and supportive blood vessels. What makes Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy different is that our clinic has technology to determine your baseline platelet count at the time of your treatment, which lets us tailor your solution to provide the optimal platelet count for your procedure!

How Many Treatments Will I Need To Schedule?

For your initial treatment, we will schedule three treatments, each taking place one month apart. At the 12-month mark, we can begin follow-up booster treatments every 6-12 months to maintain your hair restoration.

Why Is It Important To Take A Platelet Count On The Day Of Treatment?

Your platelet counts naturally fluctuate, which means your optimal platelet concentration will change over time. Using an earlier baseline count gives less accurate information, and prevents us from providing the ideal concentration for your procedure.

What Is The Optimal Platelet Concentration?

For a treatment meant to trigger angiogenesis (the development of new blood vessels), research has shown that the optimal platelet concentration is between 1.4 and 1.6 billion platelets per ML of blood. For successful treatment, we need to make sure your hair follicles and supporting blood vessels are repaired, as those blood vessels provide key nutrients to promote hair health.

How Do You Guarantee That Patients Receive The Optimal Platelet Concentration?

We possess technology that lets us take platelet counts from the whole blood and the spun down platelet solution. With this information, we can determine your baseline platelet concentration, which we use to ensure that your Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy uses plasma with the optimal platelet range!

A Look at OPC Therapy for Androgenic Alopecia

Exclusively offered by Medi Tresse, Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy can be successful in treating Androgenic Alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss (FPHL) -- the most common cause of hair thinning and hair miniaturization.

OPC therapy involves a platelet counter, which we do right in the office on the day of your treatment.
This allows our team to determine the baseline platelet count, which is run in real time during the treatment.
After being spun in a centrifuge, the PRP solution is then optimized to better ensure we are reaching the 1.4 to 1.6 billion platelets per ml.
The optimized PRP solution is injected into areas of thinning hair to stimulate regrowth.
As with all of our treatments, we have three main goals with OPC therapy: stop further loss, make the hair you have thicker, healthier, and, if possible, regrow hair.

Optimal Platelet Concentration™ Therapy is available at the following Medi Tresse locations: Boston, Worcester, Westchester, New York City offices. Here’s a look at what to expect at your hair loss consultation.
