Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is derived from the patient’s own blood serum. The patient’s blood is placed in a centrifuge where each part of the blood is separated. The platelet rich plasma is isolated and used to inject into the patient’s scalp. This PRP therapy is rich in growth factors, multiple other wound healing and new hair follicle stimulating cells. PRP has long been used for enhanced wound healing and joint restoration but has now been found to actually stimulate new hair growth. This therapy can be used in conjunction with the surgical hair restoration procedures or alone for patients electing not to have surgery. Non-surgically, several studies have shown increased hair density at 4 months lasting for approximately 11 months. Non-surgical injections of PRP are generally performed twice a year.

Concentrated platelets delivered directly to the weakened hair follicle begin our body’s natural healing process by signaling growth factors and stem cells to the area. They immediately go to work to rejuvenate the hair follicle and hair growth. Yates Hair Science Group has been using PRP treatments to help restore hair for over 8 years. Dr. Yates is a key opinion leader for Harvest Technologies and trains other doctors to perform PRP treatments. We continue to be excited and encouraged by the results our patients, men and women, experience from PRP and Stem Cell Therapy treatments.
