PRP Hair Restoration Before & After
How PRP Hair Restoration Works
Your PRP hair restoration treatment begins with a small blood draw. The sample is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from other components of the blood. The concentrated PRP is then prepared for treatment.
Your provider carefully injects the PRP into areas of the scalp experiencing thinning or reduced hair density. The growth factors found in PRP may help support the hair follicles and encourage a healthier environment for hair growth.
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment and does not require incisions or a lengthy recovery period. Because hair growth occurs gradually, results typically develop over time and may vary from patient to patient. Your provider can recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your degree of hair loss, overall health, and individual goals.

Perhaps the most important part of our hair restoration method is PRP, or platelet-rich plasma. Put simply, platelet-rich plasma is just plasma filled with platelets. Makes sense, right? It’s a useful little compound, one that can stimulate hair follicles for growth.
PRP isn’t just useful for hair growth, either. Worldwide, many doctors choose to use PRP to regrow necessary tissue and even generate cell growth! This makes it a no-brainer for hair growth. With the help of PRP, you can have the hair you deserve.
Don’t worry, you’re not going to be stuck recovering in your house after PRP hair restoration. You may see some redness in the treatment area, but this should disappear soon.
If you’re looking to see noticeable results, we’d suggest you schedule 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. From there, you’ll only need one maintenance treatment annually.
Home care products could help you see hair growth even faster. Some of our patients have seen results in just a couple weeks. Other patients may wait 5 to 8 months before they see improvement in their hair growth. But in the year after your treatment, the quality of these results will continue to improve.
Home care products can greatly boost your results after your treatment. We have 3 months of professional Viviscal shampoo, conditioner. and supplements included in the package.
Anyone who wants a natural, non-invasive procedure for hair growth could be a good fit for PRP hair restoration. One of the advantages of using your own blood for the PRP gel is that it mitigates the chance of a reaction.
You should try PRP hair restoration if:
- You’re not bald, but still have thinning hair
- You have a healthy lifestyle
- You haven’t taken any steroids recently
- You aren’t breastfeeding or pregnant
- You don’t have any rashes or acne in the treatment area
- You don’t smoke
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for PRP Hair Restoration in Canton
- Women who are pregnant or nursing should not be treated with PRP/PRF injections.
- We suggest that if you are actively trying to conceive, you consult your physician before being treated with PRP/PRF injections.
- Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks’ time in between any vaccinations and your treatment.
- It is best to avoid alcohol & blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) for 24 to 48 hours prior to your treatment. This may increase your risk of bruising.
- Bruising is always a risk with this procedure. For this reason, we recommend taking Arnica tablets for 5 days leading up to your procedure.
- If you are prone to and being treated in an area that may experience a Herpes Labialis outbreak, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-procedure. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- For this treatment we strongly encourage increasing your hydration by 30% to 50% as well as increasing intake of green leafy vegetables, such as celery juice, as it drastically improves the quality of the growth factor content that we are able to extract from your blood.
- You may consider having at least a snack or a small meal within an hour of your appointment. Getting injected with needles and/or having your blood taken can, at times, cause you to feel “queasy” or unwell. It always helps to have a little something in your stomach to combat those feelings. We keep juice and snack bars on hand in case you need a little pick-me-up mid-treatment!
- The treated area will feel sensitive and tender to the touch. This should resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
- Bruising and swelling can be expected and will subside within 3 to 7 days. Most of the swelling is actually the fluid or plasma portion of the product being absorbed by your body as the platelet portion of the product creates the growth-stimulating matrix. It is important not to apply pressure to this area for at least a week after your treatment, as any pressure could disrupt the matrix and impede results. You may gently apply Arnica for bruising.
- Avoid NSAIDs and aspirin for approximately 2 weeks after your treatment. NSAIDs increase the risk of bruising and interfere with the collagen-stimulating process.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous activity, and excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours.
- Visible injection marks are normal and to be expected in most cases. This usually subsides within 24 hours. You may apply makeup after this timeframe.
- Treated areas should be cared for gently when washing your face or applying products. It is best not to touch or manipulate the treated area.
- Do not scratch or pick at the injection sites, as this may cause infection.
- We suggest waiting a minimum of 1 week before any additional treatments, such as facials, peels, laser treatments, etc.
- Try to sleep on your back with your head elevated for 1 to 2 nights.
PRP/PRF injectable treatments are highly effective treatments that utilize your body’s own natural growth factors to rejuvenate areas of concern.
These treatments are most effective when combined with collagen induction therapy and done as part of a series.
