Support thicker, fuller-looking hair naturally with PRP hair restoration at VCesthetics. This treatment uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood and applied through scalp microneedling, with targeted scalp injections available at an additional charge.
Treatment Overview
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from a small sample of the client's own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelet-rich portion, which contains naturally occurring growth factors involved in tissue repair and cellular signalling.
PRP may be applied during scalp microneedling or administered through targeted scalp injections, depending on the treatment plan. PRP may help support active hair follicles, may reduce excessive shedding, and may improve the appearance of hair density and thickness over time.
Why Clients Choose PRP Hair Restoration
- Uses the client's own blood
- Supports existing hair follicles
- May improve the appearance of hair density
- May reduce excessive shedding
- Natural-looking gradual progression
- Minimal downtime
Treatment Options
PRP with Scalp Microneedling — $299
Controlled microneedling creates small channels across the treatment area, after which PRP is applied according to the provider's protocol. This option is designed to treat broader areas of thinning across the scalp.
PRP Scalp Injections
PRP may also be injected directly into selected thinning areas for more targeted delivery. Scalp injections involve an additional charge. The provider will recommend the most suitable technique after examining the scalp and pattern of hair loss.
Additional PRP Tube — $99
The standard treatment includes up to two PRP tubes. An additional tube may be recommended when treating a larger surface area or when more product is needed.
Who May Benefit?
PRP may be considered for clients experiencing:
- Early-stage pattern hair loss
- Gradual thinning across the scalp
- Widening part
- Reduced hair density
- Increased shedding
- Thinning around the crown or hairline
- Hair that appears progressively finer
PRP is generally more suitable when follicles are still present and capable of producing hair. It cannot reliably restore hair in areas where follicles have been permanently destroyed or replaced by scar tissue.
Start With the Right Diagnosis
Hair loss may be caused by hereditary pattern hair loss, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, thyroid conditions, medications, stress, autoimmune conditions, scalp infections, traction from tight hairstyles, or scarring forms of alopecia.
The provider may recommend evaluation by a dermatologist or primary-care provider before proceeding. PRP should not be presented as a universal solution for every type of hair loss.
What to Expect
- Appointment time: Approximately 45–60 minutes
- Blood collection: Small blood sample drawn and processed
- Comfort: Topical numbing may be applied; pressure, pinching, vibration or temporary scalp tenderness may occur
- Downtime: Minimal, but mild redness, pinpoint bleeding, tenderness, swelling or sensitivity may occur
- Results: Some clients may notice reduced shedding within the first few months, followed by gradual improvement in thickness or density
- Maintenance: PRP is not permanent and may require a treatment series followed by periodic maintenance
Recommended Treatment Plan
- One treatment each month for approximately three months
- Maintenance every three to six months, depending on response
- Exact schedule may vary based on the cause and severity of hair loss, treatment method and individual response
- Consistency is important; one appointment is unlikely to produce the same result as a completed treatment series

Important Regulatory Information
Microneedling devices are not currently FDA-cleared for treating hair loss or for delivering PRP into the scalp. The safety and effectiveness of combining a microneedling device with PRP have therefore not been reviewed by the FDA.
Possible side effects may include temporary pain, tenderness, redness, swelling, bruising, pinpoint bleeding, headache, dizziness or infection.
Results vary considerably, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
