PRP Hair Restoration

Juva Skin and Laser Center offers PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair restoration, targeting androgenetic alopecia and diffuse hair thinning. The treatment draws the patient's own blood, processes it to concentrate growth factors, and injects the resulting PRP into the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles and encourage thicker, healthier hair growth over a series of sessions.

PRP hair restoration at Juva Skin and Laser Center in New York uses the patient's own blood-derived growth factors to biologically stimulate the follicle environment and support improved hair density and thickness. The procedure is a non-surgical option for patients experiencing pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, or reduced hair density who want to explore regenerative approaches before considering surgical hair transplantation. The process begins with a blood draw, typically from the antecubital vein. The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge that separates platelets and plasma rich in growth factors from red blood cells and other components. The resulting platelet-rich plasma fraction — concentrated to levels several times higher than baseline blood — is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp where thinning or miniaturization is occurring. Growth factors contained in PRP, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and epidermal growth factor (EGF), are understood to activate follicle stem cells, improve scalp vascularity, and prolong the anagen active growth phase of the hair cycle. A standard PRP hair restoration protocol at Juva involves an initial series of three monthly sessions followed by maintenance treatments every three to six months, calibrated to the individual patient's response. Results develop gradually over several months as treated follicles respond to the growth factor environment — most patients begin noticing improvements in hair texture, reduced shedding, and increased density between three and six months after starting treatment. PRP for hair is most effective for patients with early-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia who still have viable miniaturized follicles in the treatment area. Juva's clinical team assesses scalp health, loss pattern, and contributing factors during consultation to establish realistic expectations and determine whether PRP alone or in combination with other interventions is most appropriate for each patient's situation.
