Hair Restoration

PRP Hair Restoration

If your hair is thinning and over-the-counter products are not helping, PRP may be worth a closer look. At Express Med Spa, our nurse practitioners offer PRP and PRF hair restoration — in-office injections that use your own blood platelets to stimulate thinning hair — for both men and women. PRP works best for early-to-moderate pattern hair loss while the follicles are still active, and we will be honest with you: it is not a hair transplant, it is not a permanent cure, and results build gradually over a series of sessions. Every plan starts with a free consultation, led by Stefanie Drozd, MSN, APRN.

RESULTS TIMELINE

Many people notice less shedding first, over the first couple of months, with visible thickening developing over three to six months as new growth cycles catch up.

Result Last

Results are not permanent. After an initial series of about three to four sessions, most people need maintenance a few times a year to hold their results.

BEST FOR

Early-to-moderate pattern hair loss, thinning hair, widening part, receding hairline, thinning crown

      Who PRP Hair Restoration is For

      Good Candidates? Is This Right for You?

      Who PRP helps. The best candidates have early-to-moderate thinning with follicles that are still active — most often androgenetic alopecia (male- and female-pattern hair loss). If you are noticing more scalp showing through, a widening part, a receding hairline, or thinning at the crown, and you still have fine or weak hairs in those areas, you may be a good fit.

      When it may be too late. PRP is less likely to help where the scalp is completely smooth and the follicles are gone. For advanced hair loss a transplant may be the better option, and for some people prescription treatments are appropriate. At your free consultation we look closely at your scalp and tell you honestly whether PRP is likely to help.

      What Clients Say About PRP Hair Restoration

      • There are not enough praising words to describe the staff and professionalism at Express MedSpa Frankfort. They have a knack for making you feel comfortable even when your body is reacting differently than you had planned. Their patience and genuine care exceeds all expectations not to mention the GREAT work they do. I had the PRP injection to help those post baby boobies. And let me tell you Stephanie is a magician - these puppies have not been this filled or perky since pre baby. Cannot recommend more if you are looking for a place to leave your body, mind and soul lifted. Great humans that are proficient at their craft.

        I have been going to Mount Greenwood Express MedSpa for the past few months and have had nothing but great experiences. The facility is always clean and welcoming, the staff is friendly and professional, and the service is consistently exceptional.

        What To Expect

        Pre & Post Treatment Care

        Pre-Care Instructions
        Stay well hydrated and eat before your appointment, since a small amount of blood is drawn during the visit.
        Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for 48 to 72 hours beforehand if it is medically safe (confirm with your prescriber).
        Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your session.
        Arrive with clean hair and a scalp free of heavy product.

        Post-Care Instructions

        Avoid washing your hair for the first several hours after treatment (your provider will give you a specific window).
        Skip vigorous exercise, saunas, and steam for 24 to 48 hours.
        Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for a short period, as directed, so they do not blunt the healing response.
        Resume normal activities the same day; mild tenderness usually settles within a day.
