has been used in Washington, DC across various disciplines to promote wound healing for more than 20 years, including sports medicine, orthopedics, and plastic surgery. Regarding hair restoration, platelet rich plasma has been found to stimulate hair stem cells, which aid in follicle growth. Additionally, PRP provides a nutrient dense environment for hair growth. Platelet rich plasma injections trigger natural hair growth and help keep it healthy by encouraging an increase of blood supply to the hair follicle near the injection sites.

Treatment With Platelet Rich Plasma

Before coming in for your first platelet rich plasma injection, you will need to see Dr. Porter for a one-on-one consultation.
