PRP for Hair Loss: What to Expect from Your Treatment

Hair loss can feel personal, frustrating, and even overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. At Dr. Dubow Dermatology in Beverly Hills, CA, Dr. Dubow and his team offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, a modern, natural treatment that’s helping men and women restore thinning hair and reclaim their confidence.

What is PRP and How Does it Work?

PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate new hair growth. The process begins with a simple blood draw. That sample is then spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which is full of healing growth factors. These platelets are carefully injected into the scalp in the areas where hair is thinning. The idea behind PRP is to awaken dormant hair follicles and encourage them to start growing again. Because the treatment uses your body’s own cells, it’s safe, minimally invasive, and requires little downtime.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Each PRP session typically takes about 45 minutes. After the initial blood draw and preparation of the PRP, Dr. Dubow uses a fine needle to inject the plasma into targeted areas of the scalp. Most patients describe the sensation as a bit of pressure or tingling, but it’s very manageable, and well worth the benefits. Following treatment, there may be mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a day. There’s no major downtime, so you can return to your normal routine shortly after your appointment.

How Soon Will You See Results?

PRP isn’t an overnight fix, but with consistency, the results can be impressive. Most patients begin to notice less shedding and healthier, thicker hair within three to six months. A series of treatments is usually recommended, often once a month for the first three or four months, followed by maintenance sessions every few months.

Is PRP Right for You?

PRP can be a great option for men and women dealing with early hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). It's also a popular choice for those who want a more natural approach to hair restoration without surgery or harsh medications. If you're unsure whether PRP is right for you, a consultation with Dr. Dubow will give you clear, honest guidance and a plan tailored to your needs.
