Hair Restoration in Lexington, MA
Restore hair & confidence
There are many causes of hair loss for both men and women, and it is essential before beginning any treatment to diagnose the underlying cause, and tailor treatment appropriately.
Hair loss treatment typically involves a review of health history, family history, evaluation of lab data, and treatment of underlying health issues that are associated with hair loss. After determining the cause of hair loss, a personalized treatment can begin. Treatment may consist of mono or combination therapy including oral and topical therapies, along with injectable platelet rich plasma (PRP).
Hair rejuvenation with PRP
PRP therapy harnesses your body’s natural healing processes to stimulate hair follicles and promote new growth.
During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, rich in growth factors. This PRP is then injected directly into the scalp, targeting areas of thinning or balding. The growth factors work to prolong the active hair growth (anagen) phase, enhance circulation, and stimulate the growth of healthy hair.
PRP therapy is safe, effective, and requires minimal downtime, making it an ideal choice for both men and women seeking a fuller, healthier head of hair. With visible results typically seen within a few months, you can enjoy thicker hair and renewed confidence.
A series of treatments is recommended.

Hair Restoration FAQs
-
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth. The blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then injected into the scalp to promote hair follicle health and encourage the growth of new hair.
-
PRP contains growth factors and proteins that aid in tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors can stimulate the hair follicles, increase blood supply to the hair roots, and promote the growth of thicker, healthier hair. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, processing it to extract the PRP, and then injecting it into the areas of the scalp affected by hair thinning or loss.
-
The treatment begins with a blood draw, typically from the arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of the blood components. The PRP is collected and injected into the scalp using a fine needle. The procedure usually takes about an hour, including preparation time. After the treatment, you may experience some mild discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a day or two. There is no significant downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.
-
The number of sessions required can vary depending on the individual's hair condition and response to the treatment. Typically, a series of 3-4 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months may be suggested to sustain and enhance the results. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.
-
PRP hair restoration is suitable for men and women experiencing hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss. It is most effective for individuals in the early stages of hair loss or those with androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, severe hair loss, or those who are pregnant. A consultation with a hair restoration specialist can help determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
