If you've been noticing more hair in the shower drain or a part that looks a little wider than it used to, you're not alone. Hair loss is incredibly common, and it can feel personal in a way that's hard to explain. The good news is that there are real options available, and scalp PRP injections are one of the most natural approaches we offer here at Apollo Health.
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. We draw a small amount of your own blood, spin it in a centrifuge to concentrate the growth factors naturally found in your platelets, and then inject that concentrate directly into areas of your scalp where hair has been thinning. Those growth factors stimulate dormant follicles, improve circulation to the scalp, and help your body do what it's already wired to do — grow hair.
The appointment takes about an hour from start to finish. After we draw your blood and process it, we use fine needles to inject the PRP into targeted areas of your scalp. Most people find it very tolerable — there's mild pressure during the injections, but no significant pain and no downtime. You can go right back to your day afterward. Results tend to show up gradually over two to three months, with continued improvement for up to six months. A series of three sessions spaced about a month apart is typically recommended, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
PRP works best for people experiencing early to moderate hair thinning, including the most common types of hair loss in both men and women. It's also a great option for those who prefer a more natural approach that works with your body rather than relying on medication alone. That said, it's not a one-size-fits-all treatment, which is exactly why we start with a thorough consultation. We want to understand your hair history, your goals, and what combination of treatments makes the most sense for you. If you have questions or aren't sure where to start, we're here to walk you through it honestly and without pressure.not common, as well as to treat multiple illnesses at a time. We are ideal for patients with more complex medical histories or patients who have higher risk factors for certain diseases. For example, if you know that heart disease or diabetes run in your family, you want an internal medicine practitioner who can help you prevent developing these illnesses. By the same token, if you have an uncommon medical issue, like fibromyalgia, an internal medicine doctor can also help you manage the chronic symptoms of the disorder.
