Biostimulatory Hair Restoration Therapy

PRP Hair Restoration for Thinning Hair & Hair Loss

Source Medical Aesthetics provides PRP hair restoration to patients in Matawan, NJ and throughout Monmouth County, including Marlboro, Holmdel, and Colts Neck.


PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a natural product of the body that is created by removing the red and white cells from a blood sample and concentrating the remaining sample to have a high content of platelets and growth factors. PRP utilizes the body’s own natural biology to promote healing and regeneration across a wide array of medical and dental interventions. 

 

In our office, we use PRP to promote activity or dormant or miniaturized hair follicles to help address hair thinning. PRP is effective in treating stress-induced, age-related, androgenetic and autoimmune hair loss. For those experiencing these common causes of hair loss, it’s a safe and less invasive alternative treatment option to surgical hair restoration.


We also use PRP topically to help speed and enhance healing after ablative laser skin procedures and boost the effects of microneedling therapy.


To generate your PRP, our medical provider uses an automated laboratory process to separate unnecessary components of your blood sample resulting in plasma that is rich with platelets and concentrated growth factors.


When used for hair restoration, the plasma is reintroduced to the scalp by injection with a tiny needle where it can increase blood flow to the hair follicles, stimulate growth and activity of dormant or shrunken follicles, and lengthen the anagen (active) phase of the hair cycle. 



This, in combination with adjunctive optional home care with minoxidil (Rogaine), nutritional supplementation (Viviscal Professional) and prescription medication (finasteride, spironolactone, hormone management), is your best path to fuller, thicker hair without transplantation surgery.   There is virtually no downtime and results are typically seen within 4 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

PRP is most effective for early to moderate hair thinning, particularly androgenetic alopecia (male- and female-pattern hair loss). It can also help with certain cases of alopecia areata and thinning caused by stress, hormonal changes, or nutritional factors. PRP works best where hair follicles are still active but weakened, so it is generally not recommended for areas that are already completely bald.

There is virtually no downtime after treatment, and results are typically seen within about 4 months.
