Address Hair Thinning with Regenerative PRP Therapy
Hair thinning and loss affect both men and women and can significantly impact confidence. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy offers a non-surgical approach to stimulating hair follicles and promoting natural hair growth.
Alopecia is the medical word for hair loss, and it comes in several types. The most common is androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss), which our hair restoration plans are built for. Telogen effluvium, a temporary shedding after stress, illness, or childbirth, is often found during the evaluation. Alopecia areata and scarring alopecias usually need specialist care and are referred to a dermatologist's office.
PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors encourage follicles to produce thicker, healthier hair.
Most patients benefit from an initial series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-12 months.

Care at RANDALI is whole-person and physician-directed. The options below are starting points a provider may explore with you, not a diagnosis, a recommendation, or a guaranteed outcome. Your plan is personalized and determined together during your consultation.
Knowing when to refer
Part of our care is knowing when a dermatologist’s office is the right next step. Advanced or complex cases are referred to a board-certified dermatologist, and we help coordinate the handoff. We refer when we see:
- Alopecia areata: patchy, sudden, or rapidly progressing hair loss
- Scarring alopecia: scalp redness, scaling, pain, or scarring
- Hair loss whose cause remains unclear after evaluation
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results from PRP?
Most patients notice decreased shedding within 1-2 months and visible improvement in hair thickness within 4-6 months.
Is PRP painful?
We use numbing to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe mild pressure during the injections.
What type of alopecia do I have?
That's what the evaluation is for. Pattern thinning at the crown, hairline, or part usually points to androgenetic alopecia, while round bald patches suggest alopecia areata. Your provider reviews your history, scalp, and sometimes bloodwork, and refers you to a dermatologist when a specialist is the better fit.
