Hair loss can affect both your appearance and your confidence, but early treatment may help slow progression and stimulate healthier hair growth. At The District Injector in McLean, Virginia, we offer PRP Hair Restoration to help patients experiencing thinning hair, pattern hair loss, and decreased hair density. This regenerative treatment uses your body’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate hair follicles and encourage natural hair growth.
PRP Hair Restoration is a non-surgical treatment that has become increasingly popular for both men and women seeking to improve hair thickness without undergoing hair transplant surgery. Every treatment plan is personalized to your stage of hair loss, overall health, and long-term goals.
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration is a regenerative treatment that uses concentrated platelets obtained from a small sample of your own blood. Platelets contain naturally occurring growth factors that may help stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood supply to the scalp, and support healthier hair growth.
After your blood is processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, the PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp where thinning has occurred. Because the treatment uses your own blood components, there is no risk of allergic reaction to the PRP itself.
PRP Hair Restoration is most effective when hair follicles remain active and can often be combined with other medical therapies for a comprehensive approach to hair restoration.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate if you:

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your scalp, review your medical history, identify possible causes of hair loss, and determine whether PRP Hair Restoration is the right treatment for you.
What to Expect
Your treatment begins with a simple blood draw. The sample is processed using a specialized centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the remaining blood components. Once prepared, the PRP is strategically injected into areas of thinning hair using a series of small injections.
Most appointments are completed within approximately one hour. Mild tenderness, redness, or sensitivity of the scalp may occur for a day or two following treatment, but most patients return to normal daily activities immediately.
Hair growth occurs gradually. Many patients begin noticing improvement over the following several months as hair follicles respond to the growth factors contained within the PRP. A series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimal results, followed by maintenance treatments based on individual needs.
