What is PRP for hair loss?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for hair loss concentrates the platelets and growth factors from a small sample of your own blood and injects them into the scalp. These growth factors help stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve follicle health, supporting thicker, fuller hair. At University Pain Consultants the procedure is performed by Dr. Rainier Guiang.

Does PRP hair restoration actually work?

Clinical evidence suggests PRP can improve hair density and thickness for many patients with early-to-moderate androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss), particularly when performed as a series. Results vary between individuals, and a consultation determines whether you are a good candidate.

How many sessions are needed and is there downtime?

PRP for hair is typically performed as a series of about three to four monthly sessions, followed by periodic maintenance. Downtime is minimal - most patients experience only mild scalp tenderness or swelling for a day or two.

Is PRP for hair safe?

Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is very low. Temporary soreness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection sites can occur. PRP is not recommended with active scalp infection, certain blood disorders, or during pregnancy.

PRP Hair Restoration Riverside CA: What to Expect

Our PRP hair restoration process begins with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your hair loss pattern, health history, and treatment goals. During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP, rich in growth factors, is then injected directly into areas of thinning or hair loss on the scalp.

Most patients require a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 to 12 months thereafter. The procedure is minimally invasive, requires no downtime, and has an excellent safety profile since it uses your own blood components.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP hair restoration in Riverside CA is most effective for patients in the early to moderate stages of androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), as well as those experiencing diffuse thinning. Ideal candidates include:
