PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)
HAIR RESTORATION THERAPY
Serving patients in Henderson, Las Vegas, and the greater Clark County area.
Medically Supervised PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration uses a concentrated portion of the patient’s own blood to support scalp health and improve the appearance of hair thinning in appropriate candidates.
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment performed under medical supervision after clinical evaluation and scalp assessment. It is not a cure for hair loss, and individual results vary.
Who May Be Evaluated?
PRP hair restoration may be considered for some patients with:
Androgenetic alopecia
Diffuse hair thinning
Early-stage hair loss
Postpartum or stress-related shedding after appropriate evaluation
Treatment candidacy depends on the patient’s medical history, scalp condition, underlying causes of hair loss, and overall clinical appropriateness.
NuCanvas provides services only to patients age 18 and older.
Potential Benefits Of PRP?
When clinically appropriate, PRP hair restoration may:
Support scalp health
Improve the appearance of thinning hair in some patients
Support existing follicles in appropriate candidates
Reduce shedding in some patients
Results develop gradually and often require a treatment series. Maintenance treatments may be recommended based on individual response.
How Is PRP Hair Restoration Prepared?
Treatment typically involves:
A small blood draw
Preparation of platelet-rich plasma using a sterile processing system
Injection of PRP into targeted areas of the scalp
Because PRP is prepared from the patient’s own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is low. As with any medical procedure, treatment still carries potential risks and is appropriate only after evaluation.
PRP Hair Restoration Therapy Risks and contraindications:
PRP therapy is generally considered low risk when performed by a qualified medical professional. However, potential side effects include:
- Mild discomfort at the injection site
Redness or swelling
Bruising
Temporary scalp sensitivity
Infection or nerve irritation, rarely
Lack of desired improvement
PRP may not be appropriate for all patients. Contraindications may include active infection, severe anemia, low platelet count, bleeding disorders, active cancer, uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, or use of certain anticoagulant medications.
A full medical evaluation is required before treatment.
alternatives to PRP hair restoration therapy:

Oral finasteride for appropriate candidates

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to support scalp health and stimulate hair follicles. PRP contains growth factors that may help improve hair density and reduce thinning.
PRP is created by concentrating platelets from your blood, which may help stimulate dormant follicles and improve scalp circulation. PRP strengthens and supports existing follicles rather than creating new ones.
PRP is ideal for those with androgenetic alopecia, diffuse thinning, early-stage hair loss, or postpartum shedding. It is most effective in patients who still have functioning hair follicles.
Most patients require an initial series of 3–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 4–12 months.
Results are gradual. Reduced shedding may be noticed within 2–3 months, while visible thickness or density improvements typically take 3–6 months.
PRP is not a permanent cure. Hair thinning related to genetics or hormones may continue, so maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain results.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction is minimal. Potential side effects include temporary scalp tenderness, swelling, redness, or mild bruising.
Most patients describe mild to moderate discomfort during injections. A topical numbing agent can be applied to improve comfort.
PRP requires little to no downtime. Patients may return to normal activities the same day, though mild scalp sensitivity may occur temporarily.
Yes. PRP can be combined with topical minoxidil, nutritional optimization, or oral medications to create a personalized treatment plan.
PRP may not be appropriate for those with active scalp infections, bleeding disorders, severe anemia, or certain autoimmune conditions.
