PRP for Hair Loss in San Diego

How PRP works for hair loss:

• Growth Factors: PRP contains growth factors that can help rejuvenate hair follicles, promote hair growth, and may reverse hair thinning by stimulating dormant follicles.
• Cell Regeneration:  Some growth factors in PRP stimulate cellular regeneration in the scalp, improving the health of hair follicles.
• Improved Circulation: These growth factors may also enhance blood circulation to the scalp, which can help nourish the hair follicles and promote healthier hair growth.
  

Benefits:

• Non-surgical: Unlike hair transplants, PRP is a non-invasive treatment. Many people who undergo hair transplants, still need to do PRP. PRP also can help to reduce the number or needed follicles that you need to be transplanted and significantly decrease the cost of transplant.
• Minimal downtime: Most people experience little to no recovery time after PRP therapy.
• Use of natural materials: Since PRP uses your own blood, there’s a lower risk of an allergic reaction.
  

Results:

• Timeframe: It usually takes a 3-4 months to start noticing visible improvements, with full results appearing in about 6 months. Some people may see results in few weeks. Results lasts for months to years!
• Multiple Sessions: Typically, PRP requires three treatments spaced about ~6 weeks apart. After that, maintenance treatments are usually done every 6-12 months.
  

Is PRP Effective For Hair Loss?

PRP can be effective for people with androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), and other types of hair thinning. However, results can vary, and not everyone will respond to PRP in the same way. Adding oral or topical medications that can block DHT( A hormone that weakens follicles) or improve circulation ( ie:Finasteride-minoxidil) might be helpful and can be prescribed by our providers during your visit.

If you're considering PRP for hair loss, it's important to consult with our doctor at SD PRP Clinic to determine whether you're a good candidate and to understand what kind of results you might expect.

At SD PRP we use the best available FDA PRP Kits (~60 ML blood), double spin centrifuge methods, and may also perform additional Microneedling by our board certified provider(s) to achieve the best possible results. Our injections are superior to regular PRP injections due to several factors that we can discuss over your FREE PHONE CONSULTATION.

The main difference between single spin and double spin PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is the centrifugation process and PRP Kits , which dictates the final platelet concentration and clinical efficacy:

Single Spin PRP: Uses a single centrifugation cycle, lower amount of blood, typically achieving a lower platelet and growh factor concentration (~ 1.5x baseline blood levels). While faster to prepare, it also contains a higher proportion of red and white blood cells, which can trigger unwanted inflammation.

Double Spin PRP: Uses a precise two-stage centrifugation process to separate red blood cells first, then concentrate pure platelets. And larger amount of blood is used. This yields a therapeutic concentration ~12 x higher than baseline blood levels, dramatically improving clinical outcomes for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and joint and tendon therapy.

Key Takeaway: Double spin PRP is widely considered the gold standard in regenerative medicine because higher platelet concentrations deliver a denser concentration of growth factors directly to the targeted tissue. At SD PRP Clinic, we always use DS PRP and high quality PRP Kits to separate platelets and growth factos.

Exosomes for Hair Growth:

In some cases, and those who fail other first line therapies we may offer aadding Exosomes to promote hair growth. Please ask your doctor if Exosomes is a good option for you!

Exosome therapy may treat hair loss by acting as a highly concentrated "cellular messaging system" that delivers regenerative instructions directly to struggling hair follicles. Unlike traditional treatments that alter hormones (like finasteride) or manually increase blood flow (like minoxidil), exosomes use stem-cell-derived signaling to force dormant hair follicles back into an active growth state. Exosome therapies are normally costly and we only recommend in selected cases!

Enhancing Your Comfort with Optional Nitrous Oxide

At SD PRP Clinic, we prioritize your comfort throughout every regenerative procedure. To help manage pain and ease anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) as an optional, cost-effective add-on for our PRP hair growth, facial microneedling, and musculoskeletal (MSK) treatments. This safe, fast-acting sedation allows you to remain fully conscious and recover quickly, ensuring a more relaxing and stress-free experience for a nominal fee. Please discuss this comfort option with Dr. Khorshidi before your next visit.
