What Is PRP for Hair Growth?
Encourage Natural Hair Regrowth and Density
PRP for hair growth stimulates weakened or dormant hair follicles. During the procedure, a small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to isolate platelet-rich plasma, a growth factor-rich component that supports tissue repair and follicle activity. Once prepared, the PRP is carefully injected into areas of scalp thinning. Dr. Leader strategically places these injections to strengthen hair follicles, increase density, and promote healthier hair growth.

Dr. Leader’s Approach
Surgical Mastery. Artistic Intuition.
Dr. Leader approaches hair restoration with the same philosophy she brings to every facial surgery: thoughtful and deeply personal. Her background in art, nurtured by a grandfather who was a professional artist, shaped the way she sees facial balance. Hair restoration isn’t just about adding density. It’s about restoring harmony in a way that still feels natural to you.
Dr. Leader’s advanced training further refines that artistic eye. After completing her residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, she pursued fellowship training in Beverly Hills under world-renowned facial plastic surgeons Dr. Babak Azizzadeh and Dr. Paul Nassif. Today, she brings that combination of technical mastery and careful aesthetic judgment to every patient, designing PRP hair restoration plans that look natural, balanced, and never overdone.

PRP for Hair Growth FAQs
Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP for Hair Growth?
PRP works best for men experiencing early-to-moderate hair thinning, particularly androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss). If your follicles are still active but producing thinner hair, PRP can help stimulate stronger growth. During a consultation, Dr. Leader evaluates your scalp, hair density, and overall goals to determine whether PRP is the right option for you.
How Does PRP Help Hair Grow?
Platelet-rich plasma contains concentrated growth factors that support tissue repair. When injected into areas of thinning, these growth factors signal hair follicles to re-enter the active growth phase, resulting in thicker strands, increased density, and healthier hair.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Most patients benefit from an initial series of three to four treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart. After that, maintenance sessions are typically recommended once or twice a year to support ongoing follicle health and hair density.
When Will I See the Results?
Hair growth is gradual, so improvements usually appear over several months. Many patients notice reduced shedding first, followed by thicker hair growth within three to six months.
