What is hair restoration with PRP?
Hair restoration with PRP is a natural and safe way to restore hair that is balding and thinning. Whether male or female, this procedure is a great alternative to hair transplantation.
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is produced from an individual’s own blood. PRP is the plasma in your blood at a highly concentrated level. When at this level, it has many growth factors from its natural platelets and bioactive proteins that can benefit your body. Working together, the many factors found in PRP can stimulate hair growth.

Before & After
What is the ProGen system?
PRP is a safe and natural option for hair restoration in Danville because the good cells and growth factors of your blood are injected into your scalp during the procedure. Sculpt MD uses the ProGen PRP and its PRP kit system, allowing our doctors to take a pure PRP sample with higher concentrations and platelet recovery. This means more nutrients to help improve your hair restoration results.
ProGen PRP requires a smaller blood sample than other PRP systems. The system also maintains a special 510(k) clearance from the FDA, making it one of the safest PRP systems. Because ProGen PRP involves fewer steps than other kits, treatment can take less than thirty minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
What can I expect from the procedure?
A single blood sample is taken, and then spun in a centrifuge for 10 minutes to separate platelet rich plasma from the blood. The PRP is put into a syringe and injected into the areas of balding or hair loss. The patient’s hair is then washed, and the procedure is complete. Depending on the areas being treated, it can take about 60 minutes to complete.
It stimulates the hair follicles and signals regrowth as well as activating hair stem cells. It can also help in reversing hair thinning associated with baldness. PRP can work in conjunction with other modalities of hair restoration like hair transplantation and red-light therapy.
The typical regimen includes one monthly injection for three months, then one injection roughly every 7-8 months, to receive the best results. The results are highly natural-looking.
