PRP Hair Restoration in Las Vegas
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles, slow hair thinning, and support healthier, denser hair growth — without surgery, drugs, or downtime.
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood. A small blood sample is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and injected into the scalp where hair is thinning.
The platelets contain growth factors that stimulate the hair follicles, increase blood supply to the hair root, and prolong the active growth phase of the hair cycle. With a treatment series (typically 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, then maintenance every 4-6 months), most patients see thicker, denser hair.
PRP is particularly effective for early-stage androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss), telogen effluvium (stress-related shedding), and as a supplement to hair transplant surgery. Performed at Troell Cosmetic Surgery in our AAAASF-accredited Las Vegas facility under Dr. Troell's supervision.

PRP Treatment Approaches
Standalone PRP Series
A series of 3-4 PRP injection sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Most patients see initial improvement within 3 months, with maximum results at 6-9 months.
PRP + Microneedling
PRP combined with scalp microneedling — micro-channels created by the needles allow deeper PRP penetration and amplify follicle stimulation.
PRP for Post-Transplant Support
PRP after hair transplant surgery to accelerate healing, reduce shed phase, and improve long-term graft survival.
Are You a PRP Hair Restoration Candidate?
PRP hair restoration is most effective for:
- Early-stage hair loss. PRP is most effective when started before significant follicle loss has occurred.
- Female pattern hair loss. Diffuse thinning at the crown — particularly responsive to PRP.
- Male pattern (androgenetic) alopecia. Early-stage thinning at the crown or temples — better outcomes than later stages.
- Telogen effluvium. Stress-, post-pregnancy-, or illness-related shedding that hasn't resolved naturally.
- Post-transplant patients. PRP supports better graft healing and survival.
Dr. Troell will evaluate your goals at your consultation to determine the right approach.
Why Patients Choose PRP Hair Restoration
- Uses your own biology. No medications, no synthetic compounds, no foreign material — just concentrated platelets from your own blood.
- Minimal downtime. Return to normal activity same day. Mild scalp tenderness for 24-48 hours.
- Preventive option. Can slow or stop progression of pattern hair loss when started early.
- Combinable. Works alongside oral medications (finasteride, minoxidil), microneedling, or hair transplant for amplified results.
- Suitable for both men and women. PRP avoids the hormonal concerns some women have with finasteride.

Treatment & Recovery Timeline
- Same day. Mild scalp tenderness immediately post-injection. Hair may be tied up loosely or worn down.
- Days 1-2. Tenderness fades. Avoid harsh shampoos and hot styling tools.
- Day 3+. Resume all normal hair care and activities. Strenuous exercise OK.
- Month 1-3. Some patients notice initial shedding (paradoxical) as treated follicles transition to new growth phase. This is expected and resolves.
- Months 3-9. Visible improvement: thicker hair shafts, denser appearance, reduced scalp visibility.
PRP Hair Restoration Safety Profile
PRP uses your own blood and carries minimal risk of allergic reaction. Most side effects are limited to the scalp injection site.
- Bruising or swelling. Common, mild, resolves within days.
- Mild redness or tenderness. Expected at injection or treatment site.
- Allergic reaction. Rare; typically limited to the treatment area.
- Asymmetry or under/over-correction. Can be addressed at follow-up.
- Infection. Very rare with proper aseptic technique.
A complete risk discussion is part of every consultation. Dr. Troell will review your specific risk profile based on your health history, medications, and treatment area.
What to Expect
Your PRP appointment begins with a small blood draw (similar to a routine blood test). The blood is processed in our centrifuge for 10-15 minutes to concentrate the platelets.
Topical anesthetic and/or scalp blocks are applied for comfort. The PRP injections take about 20-30 minutes across the treatment areas of the scalp.
Most patients return to normal activity immediately after. Mild scalp tenderness for 24-48 hours is expected.
A typical treatment series is 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 4-6 months. Visible thickening typically begins at 3 months and peaks at 6-9 months.

PRP & Other Hair Restoration Options
PRP works well alone or combined with other approaches:
- PRP + Microneedling: Scalp microneedling creates micro-channels for deeper PRP penetration; amplifies follicle stimulation.
- PRP + Oral Medications: Combined with finasteride or topical minoxidil for compounding benefits.
- PRP for Hair-Transplant Support: Accelerates graft healing and improves long-term graft survival.
Dr. Troell will recommend the right combination at your consultation based on your hair-loss pattern, history, and goals.
PRP Hair Restoration FAQ
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from 3-4 initial sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 months. Results compound over time.
Is PRP painful?
Topical numbing cream and/or scalp blocks are used to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the injections as mild pressure or pinching. Tenderness for 24-48 hours afterward is common.
Will PRP regrow hair I've already lost?
PRP works best at preventing further loss and thickening existing thinning hair. It can stimulate dormant follicles back to active growth, but follicles that are completely lost (with no follicular structure remaining) cannot regenerate. Earlier treatment produces better results.
Can PRP be combined with finasteride or minoxidil?
Yes — PRP is often combined with oral or topical hair-loss medications for additive benefits. Many patients find that combining PRP with proven medications produces better long-term outcomes than either alone.
Are there any side effects?
Because PRP uses your own blood, allergic reactions are rare. Mild scalp tenderness for 24-48 hours is the most common effect. Bruising, infection, or temporary shedding are uncommon but possible.
