What Plasma Hair Restoration treats

Starting to notice hair loss or thinning? Discover how Plasma Hair Restoration can help you achieve your hair restoration goals.

Hair Thinning

Plasma Hair Restoration is intended to support follicles in areas of thinning and may improve the appearance of hair thickness and density.

Hair Loss

By delivering platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly to the scalp, this treatment is intended to support the hair follicles; many clients see an improvement in the appearance of hair fullness. Individual results vary.

Weak or Brittle Hair

PRP delivers growth factors to the scalp and may improve the appearance of hair strength and fullness. Individual results vary.

Poor Scalp Health

The treatment delivers your own growth factors to the scalp, which is intended to support scalp and follicle health.

Receding Hairline or Patchy Growth

Plasma injections target specific areas of concern, such as a receding hairline or thinning patches, and may improve the appearance of fullness in those areas.

Desire for Natural Solutions

Plasma Hair Restoration uses your body's own platelets for a natural, non-surgical approach to hair restoration with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

Treatable areas

Primary: Scalp (hairline, crown, areas affected by thinning or shedding)

Secondary (Less Common): Eyebrows (if thinning is a concern), evaluated individually by your provider.

What to expect

Before, during and after your Plasma Hair Restoration appointment at Wise Aesthetics.

Before your treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners

Refrain from using blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil for at least 1 week before your treatment unless advised otherwise by your doctor.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your treatment to ensure optimal blood flow and platelet concentration.

Avoid Alcohol and Smoking

Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 3 days prior, as these can impair platelet function and healing.

Wash Your Hair

Shampoo and thoroughly clean your hair and scalp the day of the treatment to minimize the risk of infection.

Inform Your Provider

Notify your provider of any medications, recent treatments, or medical conditions that may affect your suitability for Plasma Hair Restoration.

During your treatment

Preparation

Your blood is drawn, and the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is isolated using a centrifuge.

Application

The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using a fine needle to stimulate hair follicles and promote growth.

Comfort and Safety

A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand to ensure comfort during the treatment, which is minimally invasive and takes about 60-90 minutes.

After your treatment

Avoid Touching or Washing the Scalp

Do not touch or wash the treated area for at least 24 hours after the treatment.

Skip Hair Products

Avoid using hair styling products, sprays, or shampoos for 48 hours post-treatment.

Avoid Heat and Sweating

Refrain from saunas, hot showers, and intense physical activities that cause sweating for 48 hours.

Protect Your Scalp

Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo after 48 hours, and avoid sun exposure or wear a hat to shield your scalp.

Avoid Hair Treatments

Hold off on coloring, chemical treatments, or other hair treatments for at least 2 weeks after the treatment.

Follow-Up Care

Use any prescribed topical solutions or recommended supplements as directed by your provider to enhance results.

Expected results

Gradual Growth

Hair growth improvements typically begin within 2-3 months as follicles are stimulated, with full results visible after 6-12 months.

Thicker, Healthier Hair

Many clients see an improvement in the appearance of hair density and fullness over time.

Individual results vary.

How often to return

Initial Series

A series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended.

Maintenance

Follow-up treatments every 6-12 months help maintain hair growth and scalp health.

Typically a series of 3–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart for optimal hair regrowth.

Maintenance sessions are commonly done every 6–12 months to preserve and enhance results.

Please follow the pre-treatment instructions carefully to avoid contraindications. For your safety, failure to do so may result in the inability to proceed with your treatment.

What Plasma Hair Restoration costs

The cost of Plasma Hair Restoration depends on your goals and the plan your provider recommends. Your provider will confirm your plan and its cost at consultation, before any treatment.

About Plasma Hair Restoration

Why Choose Plasma Hair Restoration?

  • Intended to support follicles in areas of thinning
  • May improve the appearance of hair density and thickness
  • Uses your own platelets and growth factors
  • Non-surgical, minimally invasive, & minimal downtime
  • Safe & effective for both men and women

How It Works:

During the treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, creating PRP packed with growth factors. The PRP is then injected into the scalp, where its growth factors are intended to support the hair follicles over time.

Is Plasma Hair Restoration right for you?

Your provider reviews your medical history and discusses risks and alternatives with you before recommending treatment.

Who may not be a candidate

This treatment is not suitable for everyone. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a blood or platelet disorder, have anemia, take blood thinners, have an active scalp infection or skin condition, or are being treated for cancer. The cause of hair loss matters, and your provider may suggest a medical evaluation first. Your provider will review your medical history before recommending treatment.

Risks and side effects

Plasma is prepared from a small sample of your own blood, so every treatment involves a blood draw and scalp injections, and both carry risk. Common effects include scalp tenderness, swelling, redness, pinpoint bleeding and a temporary headache. Less common effects include infection and bruising. Results vary from person to person, and not everyone responds. Your provider will go through the risks that apply to you and answer your questions before you decide.

Plasma Hair Restoration questions, answered

What is PRP hair restoration, and how does it work?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in growth factors and platelets, with the aim of supporting the hair follicles. The PRP is injected into the scalp in areas experiencing thinning or hair loss to enhance the hair's density and thickness.

Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?

PRP hair restoration may be an option for clients noticing early thinning or reduced fullness. It works best for those with active hair follicles and is less effective for areas of complete baldness. A consultation will help determine if you’re a good candidate.

How many PRP treatments will I need to see results?

A typical treatment plan involves an initial series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months. Many clients begin to see noticeable improvements in hair density and thickness within a few months of starting the treatment.

Is there downtime after PRP hair restoration?

There is minimal downtime with PRP hair restoration. You may experience mild tenderness, redness, or swelling at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a day or two. You can usually return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment, though it’s recommended to avoid washing your hair or using styling products for the first 24 hours.
