PRP for Hair Loss

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair loss using the Emcyte centrifuge system. A 20–60 cc blood draw is processed to concentrate growth factors, then delivered to the scalp via needle injection with local anesthesia or via JetPeel needleless delivery. May support hair follicle health and is associated with reduced shedding and improved hair density. Sessions last forty-five to ninety minutes.

City Facial Plastics offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss as a non-surgical treatment associated with supporting hair follicle health and reducing the progression of androgenetic alopecia and other non-scarring hair loss conditions. The protocol begins with a venous blood draw of 20–60 cc from the patient's arm, which is then processed in the Emcyte centrifuge — a system selected for its ability to concentrate platelets to levels several times above baseline blood platelet counts, which is associated with a higher concentration of growth factors including PDGF, TGF-β, IGF-1, VEGF, and EGF in the final PRP product. These growth factors interact with receptors on dermal papilla cells and other structures in the follicular bulge zone, potentially signalling follicles in the telogen (resting) phase to re-enter anagen (active growth) phase and may support miniaturising follicles against further androgen-driven regression. Delivery is available in two modalities: needle injection with local anesthesia, where the PRP is injected intradermally at regular intervals across the thinning scalp area — the standard approach associated with more direct follicular targeting; and JetPeel needleless delivery, where the PRP is driven into the scalp dermis via a high-velocity pressurised jet stream without needles, which may appeal to needle-averse patients or as an add-on to hair transplant sessions. The treatment is associated with best results when repeated: an initial course of three to four monthly sessions followed by maintenance treatment every three to six months is the standard protocol. PRP may be combined with hair transplant surgery to potentially support graft survival and donor site healing. Package pricing discounts are available at City Facial Plastics for patients committing to a multi-session course.
