Contact UsWhat is PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?
Hair thinning is a significant concern for many individuals, whether it's caused by age, genetics, hormones, medical conditions, or from styling products or practices. With recent advances in research within the hair restoration industry, new procedures have been created to help combat the problem. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an innovative nonsurgical remedy for men and women that is showing remarkable results in slowing down, stopping, and even reversing baldness. Dr. Travis James of Providence Dermatology combines PRP therapy with HairMax laser devices. He is one of only a few hair restoration surgeons to provide this innovative therapy in Providence, UT. By mixing a powerful solution of hair growth factors and bioactive proteins, Dr. James can help strengthen the function of your hair, resulting in longer, thicker, healthier locks.
What Are the Benefits of PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?
PRP therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that utilizes your body's natural growth factors to address hair thinning and loss. By injecting concentrated platelets into the scalp, PRP therapy stimulates hair follicles and promotes healthier, thicker hair growth. Benefits include:
- Stimulates natural hair growth by activating dormant follicles
- Improves hair thickness and density
- Minimally invasive with no surgery or downtime
- Low risk of adverse reactions using your own blood
- Can enhance results when combined with other treatments
How Does PRP for Hair Loss Work?
A minimally invasive procedure, PRP therapy is a short one-hour in-office visit. The session begins with drawing a little bit of your blood and placing it in a special machine, which circulates it at high speed to separate the platelets from the other blood elements. Next, the platelet-rich plasma is introduced into regions of your scalp that are bald or thinning. Then, microneedling can be performed on the scalp to cause micro-trauma and micro-channels to the epidermis, which triggers the PRP and permits it to penetrate deep into the skin. Our protocol for nonsurgical management of baldness contains an initial treatment, with follow-up treatments once-a-month for three months, and maintenance therapies about every four to six months. Dr. James may combine PRP therapy with the use of other prescription medications, neutraceuticals, or even a HairMax laser device. This laser phototherapy device can reduce inflammation, stimulate blood circulation, and reduce oxidative stress, promoting new hair growth.
Am I a Candidate for PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?
PRP for hair loss may be a good option if you’re experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning and still have active hair follicles that can respond to treatment. Generally speaking, PRP hair restoration is best suited for adult men and women looking to improve hair density without surgery. However, patients with severe hair loss, complete baldness, certain blood disorders, or medical conditions that affect healing may not be ideal candidates for PRP therapy. During your consultation, Dr. James will review your health history and hair restoration goals to determine if PRP therapy is the right choice for your unique needs, goals, health, and more.
Providence Dermatology Reviews
Dr James is just so incredible! He was so efficient and explained everything that was going on. He made me feel so welcome and he is just an amazing doctor! Could not recommend him or his practice enough!🙌🏻
Dr. James is very knowledgeable and had some simple and effective solutions for my son. His staff was kind and helpful. I was pleased with the outcome of our visit.
I was in a big rush because I had a class to get to, and the staff and doctor were super understanding! They were incredibly helpful and friendly. I’ve been to several dermatologist offices and this is the best, by far!
Dr. James entire office is awesome!. The front desk ladies were kind and friendly from the beginning. Dr. James and his nurse Beth were really nice and didn’t make me feel rushed or like I was taking up their time. Then the next week Dr. James actually came to the phone and talked to me personally last week when my BP skyrocketed on the day of the cyst removals. He then rescheduled me to come in a week later to get my surgery done which was today. Dr. James and his nurse Beth made me feel like I was the most special patient that was in that day! They reassured me through the entire procedure and told me to call if I had any questions or concerns after I got home. And you know what? I actually feel that I really could call them if I need to!
Best Dermatologist in the valley. My daughters had skin issue and no one could figure it out but Dr James did. My son was born preemie and had so many medical issues. Dr James was the first doctor to just sit with me and explain as much as he could even things outside of his field. His knowledge is vast in the medical field. When no one would help he did. I cannot recommend him enough!

About UsPRP Therapy for Hair Loss FAQs
Do the PRP injections hurt?
Before your injections, we will use a local anesthetic to numb the scalp to keep you comfortable for the PRP injections. Typically, most patients don't report experiencing pain or discomfort.
Is PRP therapy for hair loss effective?
PRP hair loss therapy outcomes are unique for each person and depend on genetics, severity of hair loss, response to the treatment, and other factors. You must remember to have realistic expectations and patience. It takes time for the stimulation of new hair growth and for it to become visible. Many studies have reported effective results, with one study finding visible improvements after six months of PRP therapy, with more than 40% of participants achieving at least a moderate level of improvement.
How much does PRP therapy for hair loss typically cost?
PRP therapy for hair loss costs will depend on your level of hair loss and the number of treatments necessary to reach your goals. When you have your consultation at Providence Dermatology, we will examine your hair and listen to what you want to achieve with your PRP treatments. Then Dr. James will create a treatment plan and be able to estimate your treatment costs.
