Hair loss affects millions of people, impacting not only appearance but also confidence and self-esteem. At Source Medical Aesthetics in Matawan, NJ, we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions to help combat thinning hair and stimulate regrowth. One of our most popular treatments is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy — a cutting-edge, natural approach to hair restoration. Here, we explore the science behind hair loss and how PRP can help you regain fuller, thicker hair.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, aging, and autoimmune conditions. The most common type, androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), is driven by genetic sensitivity to hormones that cause hair follicles to shrink and produce thinner, shorter hair strands. Stress and autoimmune disorders can also disrupt the hair growth cycle, pushing follicles into a resting phase, which leads to thinning or shedding.

Understanding the hair growth cycle is key: hair follicles cycle through phases — anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). When follicles become miniaturized or dormant, hair growth slows or stops, leading to noticeable thinning.

What Is PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a biostimulatory regenerative treatment that uses your own blood’s growth factors to awaken dormant hair follicles and promote new growth. At Source Medical Aesthetics, we collect a small sample of your blood, then use an automated lab process to concentrate platelets and growth factors. This nutrient-rich plasma is injected into targeted areas of your scalp using tiny needles, stimulating increased blood flow and activating hair follicles.

How Does PRP Promote Hair Regrowth?

PRP works by enhancing the natural healing and regenerative processes of your scalp. The growth factors in the plasma help to:

• Stimulate dormant or miniaturized hair follicles
  
  
• Increase blood supply to hair roots
  
  
• Lengthen the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle
  
  
• Improve hair shaft thickness and density
  
  

This approach not only helps slow further hair loss but can also encourage new, healthier hair growth — making it a safe, minimally invasive alternative to surgical hair restoration.

What to Expect During PRP Treatment

PRP sessions typically take about 30 to 60 minutes, with minimal discomfort. There is virtually no downtime, and most patients resume normal activities immediately. Many begin to see visible results within 3 to 4 months, with continued improvement over time.



For optimal results, PRP can be combined with adjunct therapies such as topical minoxidil (Rogaine), nutritional supplements like Viviscal Professional, and prescription medications tailored to your needs.
