Is your hairbrush starting to give you anxiety? Each morning, more strands collect in the bristles while your hairline seems to retreat a little further back. But hair loss doesn’t have to be permanent: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a surgery-free hair restoration solution that works at the cellular level.
Hair thinning affects millions of Americans, with most people losing 50-100 hairs daily. When you start losing more than that, it can be concerning. Find out how you can restore your hair’s natural thickness and fullness with PRP therapy.
Under the medical supervision of James Joachim, MD, FACN, the aesthetic experts at SoCal Wellness in Chula Vista, California, have helped countless patients regain their confidence through natural hair restoration. Here’s what you should know.
Hair loss can stem from multiple factors that often coincide, including:
Age also contributes. Hair follicles naturally shrink over time, producing thinner strands that eventually stop growing altogether.
Thinning hair affects both men and women, though patterns differ between genders. Men typically experience receding hairlines and crown balding, while women often notice overall thinning, particularly at the part line.
Traditional hair restoration treatments have relied heavily on medications like minoxidil or finasteride, which require lifelong use and can cause unwanted side effects. Hair transplant surgery offers permanent results, but involves substantial downtime, scarring, and expense.
Many people turn to vitamins, special shampoos, or topical treatments, but these surface-level approaches rarely address the underlying issue: Dormant or weakened hair follicles that need cellular regeneration to function properly again.
The aesthetic experts at SoCal Wellness can help you achieve natural hair restoration without surgery or daily medications. PRP therapy uses concentrated healing factors from your own blood to jumpstart dormant follicles and strengthen existing hair.
PRP treatment harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities by isolating growth factors and proteins that stimulate cellular regeneration. These concentrated platelets contain essential proteins that:
During treatment, we draw a small amount of your blood and process it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. We then inject this plasma directly into your scalp at the level of the hair follicles. Some patients benefit from combining PRP with microneedling, which creates tiny channels that enhance growth factor absorption.
The entire process takes about an hour, and you can return to normal activities immediately afterward.
Unlike surgical solutions that create instant but often artificial-looking results, PRP therapy promotes authentic hair regrowth that emerges over several months. Patients typically notice less shedding within the first few weeks, followed by new growth becoming visible around month three.
We customize treatment plans based on your specific pattern of hair loss and aesthetic goals. Most patients achieve optimal results with an initial series of three treatments spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance sessions every four to six months.
To maximize your results, we may recommend complementary approaches like hormone level optimization or targeted nutritional supplementation. And because PRP comes from your own blood, you don’t have to worry about an allergic reaction.
