How is PRP for Hair Restoration Performed?

Dr. Morgenstern will begin by numbing the area with a topical anesthetic. A staff member will then collect a sample of your blood so it can be “spun” in a special machine. This machine is designed to separate solids and liquids to create a solution that has an extremely high concentration of platelets. PRP is then put into a syringe that is injected just under the scalp’s surface. The procedure can take 60 to 90 minutes.

Preparation

Wash your hair thoroughly just before a treatment session to ensure your scalp is clean. Avoid using hairspray or styling products on it during this time.

Recovery

Following PRP hair restoration in Philadelphia with Dr. Morgenstern, you can resume your daily activities immediately. You may experience a slight numbness in your scalp which should disappear in a few hours.
