If you’ve noticed hair thinning, a receding hairline, or a loss of density, you’re not alone. For individuals looking for a non-surgical approach that supports hair health, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy may be an option to help stimulate the scalp and encourage natural hair regeneration.

At the West Spa Medical Aesthetics Department in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, our medical team uses your body’s own plasma — rich in growth factors — to help revitalize hair follicles and promote stronger, healthier-looking hair.

How PRP Therapy Works: Your Body’s Natural Solution

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses components derived from your own blood. It is a non-surgical medical procedure performed under clinical supervision.

1. The Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a standard blood test.
2. The Concentration: The sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate its components. This process isolates the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors naturally present in your blood.
3. The Application: The PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp using precise medical techniques.

By increasing local circulation and supporting follicular activity, PRP may help improve scalp health and promote the natural hair regeneration process. Results can vary depending on individual factors such as hair condition, health, and treatment consistency.

Key Benefits of PRP for Hair Restoration

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a regenerative, non-surgical procedure that uses your own blood components to support scalp health and hair vitality.

Potential benefits may include:

  • Improved Hair Thickness: PRP may help strengthen and increase the density of existing hair strands.
  • Support for Hair Growth: The treatment can help stimulate inactive follicles and encourage natural hair growth.
  • Enhanced Scalp Condition: PRP may contribute to improved circulation and a healthier scalp environment.
  • Natural Approach: This treatment uses your own biological material and does not involve synthetic chemicals or surgery.

Individual results may vary depending on several factors, including the condition of the scalp, general health, and treatment consistency.

Maximizing Results: PRP and Exosomes
For individuals seeking to optimize the benefits of their Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, Exosome Therapy may be considered as a complementary option.

Exosomes are microscopic particles naturally released by cells that contain signaling molecules such as growth factors. When applied locally immediately after PRP, they may help support the skin and scalp’s regenerative processes, reduce inflammation, help to increase follicle activation and promote a healthier environment for hair growth.

This combined approach is designed to enhance scalp revitalization while remaining within a safe, non-surgical framework under medical supervision. 

As with all regenerative treatments, individual responses may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

PRP treatments are minimally invasive and generally well tolerated. A topical or local anesthetic may be applied to enhance comfort during the injections. Some mild sensitivity or tenderness can occur and typically resolves within a few days.

Hair restoration is a gradual process. Early changes may be noticed after several months, with progressive improvement over time. The degree and timing of visible results can vary from person to person.

Recovery is usually short. Most individuals resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, although mild redness or sensitivity may persist temporarily. Healing time may vary depending on individual factors.

PRP may help support hair growth and scalp health for an extended period, but maintenance sessions are often recommended. Since hair loss can be influenced by genetics, hormones, and lifestyle, results can differ and may require ongoing care to sustain improvement.
