PRP Hair Therapy in Bellevue, WA
Platelet-rich plasma therapy to stimulate hair growth. Non-surgical, minimal downtime, and effective for early-stage hair loss or enhancing transplant results.
What Is PRP Therapy?
A cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that leverages your body's own healing mechanisms to combat hair loss and stimulate natural hair growth.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses your own blood to promote hair growth. A small sample of blood is drawn, then processed in a medical centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets -- the component of your blood rich in growth factors and healing proteins.
The concentrated platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that, when injected into the scalp, stimulate dormant and weakened hair follicles. These growth factors increase blood supply to the follicles, thicken the hair shaft, and trigger the natural hair growth cycle.
PRP is an FDA-cleared procedure backed by clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness for androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in both men and women. Because it uses your own biological material, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.
Key Benefits of PRP
- Uses your own blood -- no synthetic chemicals or foreign substances
- Concentrated growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles
- Increases blood supply to follicles and thickens hair shafts
- FDA-cleared with clinical research backing its effectiveness
- No downtime -- return to normal activities immediately
- Safe for both men and women experiencing hair thinning
How PRP Therapy Works
A simple, in-office procedure completed in just 30 to 60 minutes with five straightforward steps.
Blood Draw
A small blood sample is drawn, similar to a routine blood test. Quick and virtually painless.
Centrifuge Processing
Your blood is placed in a medical centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Activation
The concentrated platelets are activated to release their powerful growth factors and healing proteins.
Scalp Injection
PRP is carefully injected into thinning areas of the scalp using fine needles after topical numbing is applied.
Recovery
No downtime required. You can resume all normal activities immediately after your treatment session.
Who Is PRP Therapy For?
PRP therapy is a versatile treatment suitable for a wide range of patients experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Early-Stage Thinning
Patients with early hair thinning who want to intervene before a transplant becomes necessary. PRP can slow progression and revitalize weakened follicles.
Post-Transplant Patients
Patients who have undergone hair transplant surgery. PRP enhances graft survival rates, accelerates healing, and supports stronger growth of transplanted hair.
Men and Women
PRP is effective for both male and female pattern hair loss. It addresses the underlying follicular weakness regardless of gender-specific hair loss patterns.
Non-Surgical Preference
Patients who prefer a non-surgical approach to hair restoration. No incisions, no stitches, no scarring -- just natural regeneration from your own blood.
Not Ready for Surgery
Those who are not yet ready to commit to transplant surgery but want an active treatment to maintain and improve their existing hair.
Complement to Medications
PRP works synergistically with finasteride and minoxidil therapy. Combining treatments can produce results greater than any single approach alone.

Pre-Transplant
PRP optimizes scalp health before surgery by increasing blood flow and creating an ideal environment for graft placement and survival.
