Your body has amazing natural abilities – including the capacity to heal itself. PRP, or platelet rich plasma, has been used for decades in the medical field.

If you are genetically programmed to lose your hair, the follicles in certain zones will slowly just stop producing hairs, and you will experience the onset of balding. PRP is a blood product with special properties. Your blood is made up two main components – red blood cells and plasma. The plasma contains white blood cells and platelets.
PRP contains growth factors and cytokines that have stimulate hair follicle function and health.
These blood components send a message to your cells, triggering them to function correctly, and produce thicker, healthier hairs.
If your hair follicles are starting to produce finer, thinner hair, you are the perfect candidate for our PRP hair restoration in Pennsylvania.

At the Center for Hair Restoration in Pittsburgh and Wexford, Pennsylvania, we take hair restoration for men very seriously. We have assembled the most effective, non-invasive, easily-tolerated hair restoration techniques, technologies, and treatments to help men regain the confidence that comes with having a healthy head of hair. PRP hair therapy may be used in conjunction with other treatments, based upon the current condition of your hair, and what will produce the most positive result – for you.
Your treatment begins with a blood draw – just like for a standard blood test. Once the blood is harvested, it is spun in a centrifuge to separate the components and isolate the PRP. Your scalp will then be prepared for injection, and a mild anesthetic added to make the injections are comfortable. Tiny injections are then made into the scalp so the PRP can reach the hair follicles.
The procedure is not painful and does not take hours to complete – but the results can be a dramatic improvement in hair thickness and quality. For best results, the treatment should be performed regularly. The side effects are minimal, with slight redness or swelling at the injection site that quickly disappears.
