When You’re Losing the Hair Loss Battle

Noticing excessive shedding or hair that seems thinner, finer, and unwilling to grow to its former length can be discouraging, especially when it feels like nothing you try seems to help. Hair loss often begins subtly, as follicles gradually shift into a dormant state, before becoming more noticeable over time. At our Tysons Corner office, PRP hair injections offer a regenerative, science-backed solution designed to work with your body's own natural healing processes.

What Is PRP?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a component harvested directly from your own blood. It contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors that play a key role in triggering cell growth and supporting the body's natural healing response. When applied to the scalp, these growth factors have been shown to help restore healthy function to hair follicles that have begun the process of going dormant, the first stage of balding.

The Benefits of PRP Hair Injections

  • Uses Your Body's Own Resources: PRP is derived from your own blood, eliminating the risk of an adverse reaction to foreign substances.
  • Stimulates Dormant Follicles: Growth factors in PRP help reactivate follicles that have entered the early stages of balding.
  • Promotes Thicker, Healthier Hair: PRP has been shown to encourage the growth of stronger, more resilient hair strands over time.
  • Minimally Invasive Treatment: PRP injections require no surgery and involve minimal downtime.
  • Complements Other Hair Treatments: PRP can be combined with treatments like Nutrafol or NeoGraft for a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration.

Is PRP Hair Injections Right for Me?

PRP hair injections may be an excellent option if you're noticing early signs of thinning or excessive shedding and are looking for a regenerative, nonsurgical approach. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are experiencing excessive shedding or thinning hair
  • Have follicles in the early stages of dormancy rather than complete hair loss
  • Are in good overall health
  • Have realistic expectations about your results and timeline

During your consultation at our Tysons Corner office, our team will evaluate your scalp and hair loss pattern to determine whether PRP is the right treatment for you.

The PRP Process What to Expect

1. Private Consultation

Your provider will evaluate your hair loss pattern and discuss your goals to determine your candidacy for PRP treatment.

2. Blood Draw

A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.

3. Plasma Preparation

Your blood is processed in a specialized centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the sample.

4. Scalp Injections

The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp to stimulate dormant follicles.

Your PRP Results and Recovery

There is minimal downtime associated with PRP hair injections, allowing most patients to resume normal activities the same day. Results develop gradually as the growth factors stimulate follicle activity, with many patients noticing improved hair thickness and reduced shedding over the following months. A series of treatments is often recommended to achieve and maintain optimal results, with your provider outlining a personalized schedule during your consultation.

"Amazing practice; Great physician; Great staff; Initial consult was great, Dr. answered all my questions and spent lots of time with me. He gave me alternatives to surgery and other items. Prior to the procedure, the nurses and the hospital called and gave me good instructions on what to do. Day of - Innova hospital was great. Dr. Chang came to talk to me before and explained everything again, and we talked. Always made me feel comfortable. He even went above and beyond and did slightly more work. COST was amazing and well-priced with other procedures. VS. other practices, much better: Made alternative suggestions, cost was better, Physician just seemed more knowledgeable, down-to-earth, and friendly."
