PRP Hair Restoration

Scarborough, ME

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is an advanced treatment physicians have used to help repair damaged or injured tissues in your body. This minimally invasive procedure helps initiate your system's regenerative process by utilizing the growth factors that platelets are known to contain.


PRP therapy is autologous, meaning it is derived from the patient and therefore carries no risk of rejection or allergic reaction. The result of the treatment is the natural stimulation of growth factors moving toward the treated area.


As a standalone treatment, PRP has been shown to help people with male and female pattern hair loss and with alopecia areata to:


  • Decelerate hair loss
  • Increase the thickness of finer hairs to thicker, healthier hair
  • Promote the growth of new hair
  • Increase the density and strength of hair

PRP Hair Restoration FAQ

  • How does PRP work for hair restoration & regeneration?

    PRP can be used to stimulate and nourish follicles for hair growth. Highly concentrated plasma (a portion of your blood without the red and white blood cells) contains platelets that release growth factors. These growth factors have been shown to generate new hair and improve the density and health of existing hair. PRP administration into the scalp is done via micropen treatment and subdermal injections.

  • Is treatment painful?

    You may experience minor swelling or pain near the injection sites for a short period of time, but it is otherwise minimally painful.

  • Are there side effects?

    There are no known side effects of PRP.
