Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment for hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. By utilizing the body’s natural growth factors, PRP injections stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote regrowth, improving hair density and thickness over time.
Dr. Fardad Forouzanpour of the Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgical Group will assess individual needs and discuss realistic results.
Why Choose PRP?
PRP therapy is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, making it an excellent choice for natural hair restoration. It can be paired with other treatments such as hair transplants or microneedling to enhance results.
Your Consultation
During the initial consultation, Dr. Fardad will evaluate your medical history, scalp health, and hair loss pattern. Medications including blood thinners may increase the risk of bruising, and a customized treatment plan will be discussed.
The Ideal Candidate
PRP therapy is best suited for individuals in the early stages of hair thinning or those experiencing a receding hairline. It is most effective when hair follicles are still active. Patients with more advanced hair loss may require additional interventions.
The Procedure
Blood Collection
A small amount of blood is drawn
Blood Separation
Separation of platelets in a centrifuge
Concentration
Platelet-rich plasma is concentrated
Apply
PRP injection into the affected area
Recovery
There is little to no downtime required. Mild swelling or redness at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Patients can resume normal activities immediately.

PRP & hair loss: Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments are needed?
A standard regimen consists of three to five sessions, spaced one month apart. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Does PRP prevent further hair loss?
PRP may slow hair loss, but results vary. Some patients experience stabilization, while others require periodic maintenance treatments. To determine the best approach for your needs, schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Forouzanpour.
What are the Common Side Effects?
Although side effects are rare, they may include swelling, bruising, infection, or scar tissue formation at the injection sites.
Is the procedure painful?
During the treatment, you will feel a few minutes of intense cold and uncomfortable sensations, replaced by a tight pulling sensation during the treatment. Since no anesthesia is necessary, most clients spend their time reading, napping, watching a movie, or working on their laptops.
When should I expect to see the results?
Clinical studies have shown that patients may observe an increase in hair density within three months following the final PRP treatment session.
