 Get Excited About Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a powerful regenerative treatment that harnesses your body’s own healing potential.  Your own platelets—rich in growth factors trigger tissue repair. This potent serum is injected into targeted areas to stimulate healing, repair, and renewal. PRP can help with things such as joint and tendon injuries, muscle recovery, skin rejuvenation and more.. Today I want to discuss the benefits for Hair Restoration.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is transforming hair restoration with its regenerative, non-surgical, and patient-friendly approach. Here’s why it’s one of the most exciting treatments available:

What Is PRP & How It Works

  • PRP is created by drawing a small amount of your own blood, centrifuging it to concentrate platelets (3–5× normal levels), and injecting the rich plasma into areas of hair thinning [Wikipedia+1Harvard Health+1].
  • Platelets release growth factors—IGF‑1, VEGF, EGF—that stimulate hair follicle growth and prolong the hair’s growth phase [Frontiers].

Clinical Evidence & Results

  • Meta-analyses show significant increases in hair count and density for androgenetic and female pattern hair loss after just 3–4 monthly sessions [PubMed+15PMC+15Wikipedia+15].
  • One study in men with AGA found an average increase of ~25 hairs/cm² compared to controls [Frontiers+4SpringerLink+4Harvard Health+4].
  • Women also experience thicker hair, though the increase in density is sometimes smaller; overall effects are positive in ~84% of cases .

Treatment Plan & Maintenance

Why PRP Is a Smart Choice

  • Autologous & low-risk: uses your own blood—minimal allergy or rejection .
  • Versatile: works for male/female pattern baldness, supports hair transplants, and helps with thinning due to stress or surgery.
  • Complementary: safe to combine with topical or oral therapies for enhanced results [Wikipedia].

What To Know Before You Go

  • Side effects are mild: temporary soreness, pinpoint bleeding, bruising, or swelling [Johns Hopkins Medicine].
  • Cost can be $700–$1,000 per session; usually considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance [Verywell Health+1Harvard Health+1].
  • Not a miracle cure: best for early/mid-stage thinning or as maintenance—not total baldness .

Why Dr. Matti Recommends PRP

As a naturopathic doctor rooted in regenerative and root-cause care, PRP aligns with my philosophy:

  1. Harnesses your body’s healing power – no drugs or foreign substances.
  2. Root-oriented – stimulates true cellular rejuvenation, not just cosmetic cover-up.
  3. Personalized & minimally-invasive – tailored injection strategy per scalp.
  4. Natural synergy with holistic health plans for optimal results and wellness.

👩‍⚕️ Thinking About PRP? Here’s What To Do Next:

  1. Book a consultation with Dr. Matti to discuss candidacy and plan.
  2. Start with 3 monthly sessions, followed by maintenance every 6 months.
  3. Combine with lifestyle support: nutrition, stress management, and nutrient therapy to maximize outcomes.
