What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP)?
PRP is a regenerative therapy that involves drawing a patient’s blood, concentrating the platelets, and injecting the enriched plasma into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
Platelets contain growth factors that promote healing and regeneration of hair follicles, making PRP a popular choice for early-stage hair loss treatment.
Red light therapy can support PRP outcomes by enhancing local circulation, reducing inflammation, and encouraging faster tissue recovery post-injection.
