The Power of PRP For Hair Restoration: Here’s How it Works

Seeing more and more hair on your pillow, in the sink drain, or in your hairbrush? It’s not your imagination, unfortunately. You could be dealing with pattern hair loss, which may worsen steadily without treatment.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. By age 50, about half of men and 40% of women in Canada experience hair thinning or loss.
Our empathetic experts at Plastic Surgery Group at City Centre understand how hair loss can hurt your confidence and pride in your appearance. We’re here to provide solutions that fit into your life so you can reclaim a healthy, full head of hair again.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a groundbreaking therapy for hair restoration because it uses your body’s regenerative substances to help you sprout new hair and strengthen existing hair.
What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy harnesses your body’s natural healing powers to stimulate hair growth. How to access those healing powers? Through your blood!
We draw small blood from an arm vein and process that sample to extract and concentrate PRP.
Our experienced specialists inject the PRP, which is rich in powerful healing substances, into areas of thinning hair to nourish follicles and encourage new growth.
How PRP Regrows Hair
PRP therapy for hair restoration works by increasing the number of platelets around your hair follicles. Your platelets secrete potent natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and encourage regrowth.
Growth factors are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration. They increase blood circulation around hair follicles, providing nutrients and oxygen they need to thrive.
This improved environment helps awaken dormant follicles, leading to the sprouting of new, healthy hair strands.
Additionally, PRP strengthens existing hair. It lengthens the anagen phase — the growth phase of the hair cycle. This increases hair density and improves your hair’s overall texture and strength.
Because platelets are so powerful, maximizing their use during PRP treatment is important. Our experts use WorldPRP™, the leading PRP system, to concentrate blood platelets in the ideal proportions to stimulate hair growth.
We use the V2 Beauty Booster injector, a microneedling device that creates microscopic tunnels into the scalp to optimize your PRP results further. This allows us to place PRP at the ideal depth for hair restoration.
PRP Therapy Results
PRP therapy is particularly effective for male and female pattern hair loss.
With repeated sessions, patients often notice visible improvements in hair volume and scalp coverage, making PRP a powerful, non-surgical option for hair restoration.
Our patients often see up to a 30% improvement in hair density and strength.
Most patients need three or four PRP sessions for ideal results, with treatments every four to six weeks.
