PRP Hair Restoration for
Thinning Hair and Hair Loss
A non-surgical regenerative therapy for men and women at PPMR in Greenville, SC
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a proven and non-surgical regenerative treatment that helps stimulate natural hair growth and strengthen existing hair follicles.
PRP uses a concentration of your body’s own platelets and growth factors to encourage healthier hair growth and improve scalp health to restore hair loss and thinning hair. Because the treatment uses your own blood, it works with your body’s natural healing processes.
PRP hair restoration may be a good option for people who:
- Are experiencing early hair thinning, loss or receding hairlines
- Want to strengthen existing hair and improve thickness
- Prefer a natural, non-surgical hair restoration option
- Want to slow hair loss while encouraging new growth
How PRP for Hair Loss Treatment Works
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your body’s own regenerative healing factors to stimulate hair follicles and support healthier hair growth.
The process begins with a small blood draw. That blood is then placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of the blood. This plasma contains a concentrated amount of platelets, growth factors, and signaling proteins that help support tissue repair and regeneration. Once prepared, the platelet-rich plasma is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp where hair thinning is occurring.
These growth factors help activate several biological processes that are important for hair growth. They can improve blood supply to the hair follicle, stimulate stem cell activity, and encourage new cell growth within the follicle. Together, these processes help create a healthier environment for hair follicles so they can produce stronger, thicker hair.
PRP is particularly helpful for people experiencing hair thinning or early hair loss, when hair follicles are still active but producing weaker or finer hair. By supporting follicle health and improving scalp circulation, PRP can help slow hair loss and encourage new growth.
Clinical studies have found that PRP treatments can significantly improve hair density, thickness, and overall hair growth in patients with pattern hair loss.
The treatment is performed in the office and typically takes less than an hour. Most patients begin with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments to help sustain results.
Conditions We Treat with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

What Makes the PRP
Hair Loss Therapy Different?
Many hair loss treatments focus only on slowing hair loss. PRP therapy is different because it works by activating your body’s own regenerative processes.
Unlike medications or topical treatments, PRP:
-
Uses Your Body’s Natural Growth Factors
Because PRP is created from your own blood, it contains powerful growth factors that support natural tissue repair and regeneration.
-
Targets the Health of Hair Follicles
PRP works at the follicle level, helping create an environment that supports stronger and healthier hair growth.
-
Is Non-Surgical
PRP hair restoration is performed in the PPMR office and does not require surgery or a lengthy recovery period.
-
Treats Both Men and Women
Hair thinning affects both men and women, and PRP can help address a variety of hair loss patterns.
