    GlossaryPlatelet-Rich Plasma Injections

    involves injecting concentrated platelets to stimulate hair growth

    Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections involve drawing a small amount of a patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma back into the patient's scalp. This therapy is used to promote hair growth and tissue repair by leveraging the growth factors and proteins in platelets that stimulate cellular regeneration and healing.
