Support thinning hair with your own plasma.
PRP hair restoration uses platelet-rich plasma concentrated from your own blood. Injected into the scalp, the growth factors signal hair follicles to strengthen, prolong their growth phase, and improve density, an evidence-based option for early hair thinning.
It works best for early to moderate thinning and androgenetic (pattern) hair loss, and is most effective as a series with maintenance, often alongside medical therapies. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider performs every treatment and designs the plan.
