PRP Hair Restoration in Glendale - Rebuild Your Confidence

You’re Not Alone in This - We Understand Hair Loss Anxiety

Noticing more hair in your brush lately? Finding yourself avoiding certain hairstyles or constantly checking your reflection? We get it. Hair thinning and loss can feel incredibly isolating and affect your confidence in ways that others might not understand.

At Fix Med Spa, we’ve helped countless patients in Glendale regain not just their hair, but their sense of self. Our PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration treatment offers a natural, non-surgical approach that works with your body’s own healing power to revitalize dormant hair follicles and encourage healthy new growth.

What Exactly Is PRP Hair Restoration?

Don’t worry - it’s much less intimidating than it might sound. PRP therapy uses your own blood’s healing properties to stimulate hair growth. Here’s the simple science: your blood contains powerful growth factors and proteins that naturally help your body repair and regenerate tissue.

During treatment, we draw a small amount of your blood (just like a routine blood test), then use a special process to concentrate these healing platelets. When we carefully inject this concentrated plasma into areas of your scalp where hair is thinning, it essentially “wakes up” sleeping hair follicles and gives them the nutrients they need to start producing healthy hair again.

Think of it as giving your hair follicles a powerful, natural boost using your body’s own regenerative abilities. No foreign substances, no synthetic chemicals - just your own concentrated healing factors working exactly where you need them most.

How We Make the Process Comfortable for You

Your Consultation - We’ll Listen to Your Concerns

We know talking about hair loss can feel vulnerable. During your consultation, our medical team will listen to your specific concerns and create a personalized plan just for you. We’ll examine your scalp, discuss your medical history, and explain exactly what to expect so you feel completely prepared.

The Treatment Day - What Really Happens

Many patients are surprised by how straightforward and comfortable PRP treatment actually is:

Step 1: Blood Draw
We’ll draw about 1-2 ounces of blood from your arm - similar to routine lab work you’ve probably had before. This takes just a couple of minutes, and if you’re needle-sensitive, we can use a numbing cream.

Step 2: Processing Your PRP
While you relax, we place your blood in a special centrifuge that separates and concentrates your platelets. This takes about 10-15 minutes - enough time to review your treatment plan and answer any last-minute questions.

Step 3: Scalp Preparation
We’ll cleanse your scalp and can apply numbing cream if you prefer extra comfort. Most patients find the injections quite tolerable, but we want you to feel completely at ease.

Step 4: Strategic Injections
Using a very fine needle, we’ll inject the concentrated PRP directly into areas where you’re experiencing thinning. We target specific zones where hair follicles need the most support. The entire injection process typically takes 15-20 minutes.

Step 5: Recovery
There’s no downtime - you can return to your normal activities immediately. Your scalp might feel slightly tender, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually resolves within a day or two.

What to Expect on Your Hair Restoration Journey

The Reality About Results

We believe in setting realistic expectations. PRP hair restoration isn’t a miracle overnight cure, but it can produce remarkable results with patience and consistency.

First 4-6 Weeks: You likely won’t see dramatic changes yet - your hair follicles are busy getting activated and starting their growth cycle. Some patients notice less hair shedding during this time.

2-3 Months: This is when many patients start getting excited. You might notice baby hairs sprouting in areas that have been thin, and existing hair may appear thicker and healthier.

4-6 Months: The real transformation becomes visible. Most patients see noticeable improvement in hair density, thickness, and overall coverage. Your hairstylist might even comment on how much healthier your hair looks!

6-12 Months: Results continue to improve as your hair completes full growth cycles. Many patients are amazed at how natural and healthy their hair looks and feels.

Your Treatment Schedule

For best results, we typically recommend 3-4 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Think of this as giving your hair follicles consistent support as they wake up and start growing again. After your initial series, most patients maintain their results with a single touch-up treatment every 6-12 months.

Taking Care of Yourself After Treatment

Your scalp might feel a bit tender or look slightly pink for a day or two - this is completely normal and actually a good sign that the PRP is working to stimulate blood flow and healing.

Here’s how to care for your scalp:

• Gentle washing: You can shampoo normally after 24 hours, but use lukewarm water and be extra gentle
• Skip intense workouts for 24-48 hours - sweating heavily can irritate your scalp
• Protect from sun exposure with a hat or gentle sunscreen if you need to be outdoors
• Avoid harsh hair treatments like coloring or chemical processes for at least a week
• Sleep with clean pillowcases to prevent any irritation while your scalp heals
• Stay hydrated and eat well - your hair follicles need good nutrition to thrive

Is PRP Hair Restoration Right for You?

We want to be completely honest about who tends to see the best results:

Great Candidates:

• People with early to moderate hair thinning (the sooner you start, the better your results typically are)
• Those with androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern hair loss)
• Patients who still have some hair in thinning areas - PRP works by strengthening existing follicles
• Anyone seeking a natural, non-surgical approach
• People committed to the full treatment series for optimal results

Let’s Talk First If:

• You’re pregnant or breastfeeding - we’ll wait until after this special time
• You have certain blood disorders or are on blood-thinning medications
• You’re dealing with complete baldness in large areas - PRP works best where some follicles remain
• You have active scalp infections or inflammatory conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does PRP hair restoration hurt?
Most patients describe it as mild discomfort, similar to getting a vaccine. The blood draw feels like any routine lab work, and the scalp injections cause brief, minor pinching sensations. We can use numbing cream if you’re concerned about comfort.

Is it safe to use my own blood?
Absolutely. Since we’re using your own blood platelets, there’s no risk of allergic reactions or rejection. PRP has been used safely in medical treatments for decades.

How is this different from hair transplant surgery?
PRP is completely non-surgical with no incisions, stitches, or recovery time. Instead of moving hair from one area to another, PRP strengthens and revitalizes your existing hair follicles to grow healthier, thicker hair naturally.

Will my insurance cover PRP hair restoration?
PRP for hair restoration is considered a cosmetic treatment and typically isn’t covered by insurance. However, we offer flexible payment options and can discuss pricing during your consultation.

Can I combine PRP with other hair treatments?
Yes! PRP works well alongside topical treatments, laser therapy, and even hair transplants. We’ll discuss the best combination approach for your specific needs.
