PRP Hair Treatment NYC
PRP Hair
Hair loss, hair thinning, or receding hairline are concerns for everyone, regardless of age and gender. Genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and aging can cause male pattern baldness and receding hairlines, which can hinder natural hair growth and self-confidence.
At SERA Wellness Medical Spa, we understand the impact of hair loss on your life. We offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration treatments to address this. Our PRP hair restoration work is a non-surgical solution to treat hair follicles and hair loss using the body’s own healing process.
What is PRP for Hair Growth?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets from your own blood. These platelets are loaded with growth factors that help tissue repair and regeneration. Red blood cells are separated and discarded during centrifugation, leaving the platelet-rich plasma behind.
In the context of hair restoration, PRP therapy injects concentrated plasma into the areas of the scalp where you are experiencing hair loss. The growth factors in PRP stimulate the static or dormant hair follicles to grow natural hair and increase hair density.
How does PRP work for Hair Restoration?
The entire procedure for PRP hair loss treatment at SERA Wellness Medical Spa involves a few steps:
Consultation with our health care provider about your health. The doctor will explain the process and answer all your questions about PRP for hair loss treatment.
The next step is to take a small blood sample from your arm for future platelet-rich plasma isolation.
After the blood sample is taken, it is placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other blood components, including red blood cells, which are discarded.
The area of your scalp that is planned to be treated will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort during the following hair restoration procedure.
Concentrated platelet-rich plasma is injected into areas of the scalp where hair is thinning or lost. The growth factors stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles to promote the natural hair regrowth and increase hair density.
PRP hair restoration works by using your body to stimulate hair regrowth and denser hair. Multiple PRP procedures are usually recommended for optimal results, and check-up appointments must be scheduled periodically to maintain new hair growth.
At SERA Wellness Medical Spa, we customize your PRP hair restoration treatment to your individual needs, resulting in a fuller, more vibrant head of hair.
Number of Treatments Needed
The number of PRP treatments required for optimal hair growth varies from patient to patient, depending on the severity of hair loss and individual response.
Typically, 3-6 treatments are recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Supervision may be needed every 6-12 months to maintain the desired results.
This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the right amount of PRP therapy to stimulate hair follicles and achieve the best possible outcome.

After PRP hair restoration at SERA Wellness Medical Spa, you must follow these simple post-treatment instructions to get the most out of the PRP treatment sessions and promote natural hair growth.
Immediate Post-Treatment:
Do not wash your hair or get your scalp under direct shower pressure for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Do not touch, press, or rub the treatment site for at least 8 hours after treatment to prevent irritation and allow the platelet-rich plasma to work on your hair follicles.
Do not apply hair products, including shampoos, conditioners, and styling agents, for the first 24 hours to prevent irritation.
Activity Restrictions:
Please avoid direct sunlight on the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
To minimize irritation, do not exercise or engage in activities that may cause sweating for at least 12 hours after treatment.
To prevent infection, do not swim in pools, oceans, or any other water for at least 24 hours.
Medication and Substance Use:
Do not take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin and ibuprofen for at least 3 days after treatment, as they can hinder the healing process.
Do not drink alcohol and smoke for at least 3 days after treatment, as they can delay healing and hair growth.
After PRP Injections Hair Care:
After 24 hours, you can wash your hair with a mild shampoo with a balanced pH. Consult your doctor before using any hair care products.
Do not use hair dryers, curling irons, or flat irons for at least 48 hours to avoid irritation of the treatment area.
Monitoring and Follow-Up:
Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal. If you see signs of infection or prolonged discomfort, call us immediately.
PRP therapy requires multiple sessions to get the best results. Following the recommended treatment schedule is crucial to stimulating the hair follicles and hair growth.
By following this aftercare, you will get the most out of your PRP hair restoration procedure at SERA Wellness Medical Spa and have thicker and healthier hair.
