If you're noticing diffuse thinning or a widening part, you don't have to simply accept it. We offer advanced PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, a biologically grounded, non-surgical treatment designed to rejuvenate your hair follicles right from the root.
PRP therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood platelets to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote natural hair growth. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, and it is "autologous," meaning it is derived entirely from your own body. During the procedure, we draw a small blood sample and spin it in a highly calibrated centrifuge to isolate a concentrated layer of platelets.
These platelets contain powerful growth factors that trigger cellular repair and increase blood flow to starving hair follicles. By delivering this concentrated payload directly into your scalp, we help push dormant follicles back into an active growth phase. This process helps reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles, leading to thicker, healthier hair over time.
Clinical studies show that PRP therapy is highly effective at stopping active shedding and significantly increasing hair density, especially in early-to-moderate stages of hair loss. It offers a powerful alternative or complement to traditional topical treatments.
A 2025 clinical meta-analysis published in a peer-reviewed journal found that PRP therapy led to a massive advantage in stopping active shedding compared to traditional topical minoxidil. Specifically, 82.75% of patients receiving PRP tested negative for active shedding on a clinical hair pull test, compared to just 52.94% of those using minoxidil.
For women experiencing diffuse thinning, the results are particularly encouraging. A 2024 systematic review of female patients established that PRP therapy significantly improves absolute hair density, showing an average increase of over 405 hairs per square centimeter compared to control groups.
A typical PRP treatment plan involves a series of quick, in-office injection sessions followed by routine maintenance to sustain your results. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires virtually no downtime, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
According to clinical guidelines from the Cleveland Clinic (2024), a standard induction phase consists of 3 to 4 initial treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. During each session, we carefully inject the activated plasma into the thinning areas of your scalp using a precise grid pattern. Because hair loss is a progressive genetic condition, we recommend maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months to keep your follicles healthy and prevent future regression.
You don't have to navigate hair thinning alone. Our team is here to help you explore safe, evidence-based options to restore your hair's natural vitality. To find out if PRP therapy is the right fit for your goals, schedule a visit with our experienced team at Integrative Primary Care today.
