PRP Injectable Treatment for Hair Loss at Illume
PRP for Hair Loss
PRP (platelet-rich-plasma) has recently been utilized as an alternative treatment for hair loss for both men and women. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors. The PRP is drawn from your own blood, separated in a centrifuge, and injected to the treatment area. Request a complimentary PRP for hair loss consultation today!
What Does PRP for Hair Loss Do?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma.
Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios. Platelets release growth factors that regulate the healing cascade by signaling to surrounding cells to repair damaged tissue and regenerate new tissue.
Some in the medical community think that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.

About the PRP for Hair Loss Treatment
PRP therapy is a three-step process. Most PRP hair treatment therapy requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart.
Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.
Step 1
Your blood is drawn — typically from your arm — and put into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities).
Step 2
After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into three layers:
platelet-poor plasma
platelet-rich plasma
red blood cells
Step 3
The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.
Key growth factors can include:
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF)
- Transforming Growth Factor group (TGF)
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
- Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF)
- Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF)
