Hair Restoration Treatment
At Joules Medspa, we have been performing PRP therapy as a proactive therapeutic option for male and female patients experiencing hair loss. PRP is an exciting non-surgical therapeutic option for patients who require stimulation of hair growth for hair loss conditions.
PRP Hair Restoration is a non-surgical solution for hair loss in both men and women. Platelet Rich Plasma contains growth factors that naturally stimulate the development of new hair follicles while improving the health of existing hair follicles.
What to Expect
First, a blood sample is obtained and processed to extract the Platelet Rich Plasma. A topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area being treated. The PRP is then administered with a fine needle in a series of injections on the scalp or through micro needling.
Mild swelling and redness can be expected 1-2 days following the treatment. It is recommended to avoid vigorous activity until the swelling has subsided. There is no other downtime following the procedure. New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months, but is typically evident between 5-8 months and will continue to improve up to a year after treatment.* For best results, a series of 4 sessions is typically recommended
PRF Hair Restoration
The hair restoration process begins with our providers drawing the patient’s blood just like they would during a regular blood test. The blood that is drawn from the patient is then put into our centrifuge system where it separates the blood creating the PRF. The PRF is then injected back into the patient’s scalp treating the areas that have shown hair loss/thinning.
Platelet-Rich-Fibrin (PRF) hair restoration is our newest treatment that uses wound-healing technology to restore inactive hair follicles to treat hair loss/thinning.
There are various factors that can affect hair thinning/loss and each treatment is customized depending on the patient’s concerns. PRF Hair Restoration has been clinically proven to treat hair loss / thinning in both male and females. It is recommended that you do 3 treatments, 4 weeks apart for optimal results followed by maintenance treatments as needed!

About PRP Hair Restoration
Do PRP / PRF / Exosomes injections work for hair restoration?
Here’s the deal — according to a survey, 21 million women and 35 million men suffer from hair loss. So, if you’re between the ages of 35 and 80, you might want to consider hair growth injections as a way to keep a healthy mane in the future.
What Is PRP / PRF / Exosome Therapy And How Does It Work?
Also known as platelet-rich plasma therapy, PRP is a simple three-step hair treatment procedure. It involves drawing a person’s blood, processing it, and injecting it back into their scalp. Here’s the breakdown. Plasma is a primary component found in blood and is made up of many other components such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. These platelets aid in the body’s ability to heal damaged tissue and promote new cell growth because they contain hundreds of natural growth factors. Ultimately, your own blood is used to boost blood flow to the scalp. Growth factors in your enriched plasma, especially when directly injected into the scalp, induce synthesis of collagen. This stimulation aids in keeping exosomes at the treatment site and aiding in growth of new blood vessels, resulting in more youthful and rejuvenated hair follicles, i.e. MORE HAIR!
PRP injections are also helpful for treating:
Injured tendons
Strained ligaments
Worn muscles
Oral Surgery
Orthopedic surgery
What Is Exosome Therapy And How Does It Work?
Exosomes are small shuttles that balloon off cells and contain a variety of proteins, growth factors micro RNA and messenger RNA. First discovered about 30 years ago, they were initially thought to be a way for cells to get rid of waste. With advances in technology over the last decade, further investigations and studies found that these little balloons are actually an intricate system used by cells to communicate with one another. Exosomes carry specific information related to a variety of functions and purposes, telling the target cells when to react and what to do.
Exposing our body’s older hair follicles to the younger exosomes derived from young stem cells provides them with the necessary building blocks to become rejuvenated, increasing the healing abilities and youthfulness of the hair follicle cell.
Who Will Benefit From PRP/PRF & Exosome Treatment?
If ingestible vitamins like biotin simply aren’t working, you may want to think about getting PRP or exosome treatment. Platelet-rich plasma therapy has been proven to help women and men alike. It even helps people with “androgenic alopecia.”
For those of you who are unaware, androgenic alopecia is responsible for most male pattern baldness among men. In addition to this, androgenic alopecia is also to blame for women who are experiencing severe hair thinning on their scalps.
Candidates that might benefit from platelet-rich plasma therapy:
People who started to lose their hair a few years ago
Women with thinning hair or hair loss due to menopause
Men experiencing male pattern baldness
Anyone who wants to increase their hair
Anyone who wants to proactively prevent hair loss from occurring
If you fall onto any of these categories, we recommend that you book platelet-rich plasma therapy treatment as soon as possible.
