Hair Loss & PRP

Hair loss is a medical problem before it is a cosmetic one, and we treat it that way. Evaluation starts with a physical and clinical examination of the scalp and hair and, where indicated, laboratory testing — because thyroid disease, iron deficiency, and other medical causes need to be found, not covered up.

Treatment is then built from the tools with evidence behind them: oral medications, topical medications, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is prepared from your own blood — a small sample is drawn and concentrated so the platelets, and the growth factors they carry, can be injected into the scalp where hair is thinning, typically over a series of sessions. We use a second-generation preparation called platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM): after the spin, the platelet concentrate is converted into a natural fibrin gel that holds the platelets where they are placed and releases their growth factors gradually — over days rather than minutes.

PRP is one tool in a complete plan, not the whole plan. Whether it makes sense for you depends on the pattern and cause of your hair loss — that conversation comes first, and honest candidacy assessment is part of it.

When to come in

  • Thinning hair you want evaluated medically, not just treated cosmetically
  • Androgenetic (pattern) hair loss, in men or women
  • Hair loss that deserves a workup — labs, exam, and a diagnosis
  • Early thinning you would like to address without surgery

How we treat it

Clinical examination and laboratory workup

Scalp and hair examination, with lab testing where indicated to find treatable medical causes.

Oral and topical medical therapy

Evidence-based medications, chosen for your pattern of loss and your health picture.

PRP scalp injections

Your own platelets, prepared as second-generation PRFM (platelet-rich fibrin matrix), injected into thinning areas over a series of sessions.

Your surgeon will walk you through what to expect — including preparation and aftercare — before anything is scheduled.
