Hair Restoration With PRP in Mount Kisco, NY
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair treatment uses a concentration of your own platelets to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. At Briones Weight Loss Center, Dr. Maria Briones offers this non-surgical option for men and women with early to moderate hair thinning who want fuller, healthier-looking hair.
How PRP Hair Restoration Works
Platelet-rich plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors help stimulate hair follicles, increase hair thickness, and reduce hair fall. Because PRP comes from your own blood, it is a natural, non-surgical option for thinning hair.
- A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to routine lab work.
- The sample is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components.
- The concentrated PRP is injected directly into areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired.
The Procedure
- Treatment is performed in our office and usually takes 30 minutes to an hour.
- The scalp is often numbed with a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
- Most patients start with a series of three to four sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
- Maintenance treatments are recommended periodically, often every six to 12 months.
Before and After Treatment
Before: Shower and wash your hair thoroughly on the day of treatment, but avoid styling products. Eat a normal meal and drink plenty of water beforehand. Avoid steroid injections in the scalp for one month before your appointment.
After: You can return to normal activities right away, as there is typically no downtime. Some patients notice temporary swelling, tenderness at the injection sites, or a small bruise where blood was drawn.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP is best for people experiencing hair thinning rather than complete baldness, and it is most effective for hair loss that started more recently. It can help men and women with pattern hair loss, as well as women with thinning related to menopause or PCOS. Dr. Briones may also check hormone and nutrient levels, since hormone balance and nutrition affect hair health.
Cost
PRP is typically an out-of-pocket expense and is not covered by health insurance. Total cost depends on the number of sessions you need. We will review pricing during your consultation. Learn about an ongoing session plan on our PRP hair page, or pair hair restoration with a PRP facial, Morpheus8, or IV therapy. See all services.
