Hair Restoration
You started noticing it in photos — the part line that's wider than it used to be, the ponytail that feels thinner, the temple areas where density quietly disappeared.
What PRP Hair Restoration Is
Platelet-rich plasma hair restoration is a non-surgical regenerative procedure that concentrates autologous growth factors — including platelet-derived growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and transforming growth factor-beta — from the patient's own blood and delivers them via microinjections into the scalp to stimulate hair follicle stem cells, extend the anagen growth phase, and increase follicular density.
PRP for hair loss works differently than topical treatments like minoxidil or oral medications like finasteride. Those products address biochemical pathways.
Maintenance Bar's PRP protocol delivers concentrated growth factors directly to the follicular unit — stimulating the cellular repair and vascularization that dormant follicles need to re-enter active growth.
How Maintenance Bar's PRP Hair Treatment Works
Blood Draw. A small blood sample is drawn at Maintenance Bar's SODO clinic — the same routine venipuncture you'd get at any lab appointment.
Centrifugation. The blood sample is processed in a medical centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and platelet-poor plasma. This concentrates the growth factors by 3-5x over baseline levels.
Scalp Injection. Your Maintenance Bar provider injects the concentrated PRP across the thinning areas of your scalp using a systematic grid pattern. The microinjections deliver growth factors directly to the follicular bulge — where hair stem cells reside.
Recovery. Minimal downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild scalp tenderness and occasional pinpoint bruising resolve within 24-48 hours.
What to Expect from PRP Hair Restoration at Maintenance Bar
PRP hair restoration is not a one-session fix. Maintenance Bar's protocol typically involves 3 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 6-12 months to sustain growth factor stimulation.
Patients at our Seattle clinic begin noticing reduced hair shedding within 4-6 weeks. New growth typically becomes visible at 3-6 months as dormant follicles transition from telogen to anagen phase.
Results are best for patients with early-to-moderate thinning — where follicles are miniaturized but still present. Maintenance Bar's consultation evaluates your hair density, thinning pattern, and scalp health to determine whether PRP is the right protocol.
How to Choose the Right Hair Restoration Approach
PRP hair restoration at Maintenance Bar works best for patients with early-to-moderate thinning — where follicles are miniaturized but still alive. The key is timing. Starting PRP when you first notice thinning delivers significantly better outcomes than waiting for visible scalp.
Maintenance Bar evaluates your thinning pattern, density, and scalp health to determine if PRP alone will achieve your goals. Some patients pair PRP with topical or oral therapies for a multi-mechanism approach.
If hair loss has progressed beyond what PRP can address, Maintenance Bar provides honest guidance. We'll tell you when surgical consultation is the better path — because recommending the wrong treatment wastes your time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration?
Patients with early-to-moderate hair thinning respond best. Maintenance Bar evaluates your thinning pattern during consultation. PRP works by reactivating miniaturized follicles — it can't regenerate follicles that are completely gone.
Does PRP hair restoration hurt?
Most patients describe mild discomfort during scalp injections. Maintenance Bar uses topical numbing to minimize sensitivity. The procedure takes approximately 45-60 minutes from blood draw to completion.
How is PRP different from hair transplant surgery?
PRP is non-surgical, uses your own blood, and requires no downtime or scarring. Maintenance Bar recommends PRP for patients in early thinning stages. Hair transplant surgery is a separate procedure for more advanced loss — PRP can complement surgical results. Contact Maintenance Bar to discuss your options →
Can women get PRP hair restoration?
Absolutely. Maintenance Bar treats both men and women with PRP. Female pattern hair loss often presents as diffuse thinning across the crown — and PRP is particularly effective for this pattern because the follicles are typically still present and responsive.
How soon will I see results from PRP?
Most Maintenance Bar patients notice reduced shedding within 4-6 weeks. Visible new growth typically appears at 3-6 months. Full results develop over the initial treatment series.
Patience pays off — your hair is literally regrowing from dormant follicles.
