Are you someone who has been experiencing hair loss and is looking for a solution that doesn’t involve surgery? You’re not alone. Non-surgical hair restoration solutions are becoming a popular option for men and women experiencing hair loss but aren’t ready for a hair transplant. One of the most exciting non-surgical hair loss treatments available today is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and we are happy to offer it at Yaker Hair Restoration + Med Spa.
Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a natural substance derived from your own blood that is rich in powerful growth factors. These growth factors are essential for cell growth, tissue repair, and collagen production. When injected into the scalp, PRP treatment stimulates hair growth and awakens dormant hair follicles, making it a great option for those with thinning hair or early hair loss.
Studies have shown that PRP treatment is an effective hair restoration solution. One study even suggests that PRP treatment for hair loss is more effective than other hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and adult stem cell-based therapy.
PRP therapy starts with a simple blood draw, from which a small amount of blood is extracted and spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the rest of the blood. The PRP is then injected into the scalp using a very fine needle. The entire process usually takes less than an hour, and most patients experience little to no discomfort.
After the treatment, you can expect to see some redness and swelling in the treated area, but this usually goes away within a day or two. Results start to become noticeable within a few weeks, with the full effects becoming apparent after several months.
However, it’s important to manage your expectations as results can vary from patient to patient. This is why it’s important to consult a board-certified hair transplant doctor to administer your PRP injection like Dr. Yaker.

While both treatments can be effective in restoring hair growth, PRP treatment is a non-surgical option that uses the body’s own healing abilities and there’s no downtime. On the other hand, hair transplant surgery involves harvesting follicular units from the donor area and transplanting them to the balding area. It’s a more invasive procedure and requires downtime for recovery.
