Support healthier-looking hair with regenerative injections designed for targeted scalp care.

Regenerative Scalp Treatments for Thinning Hair

Hair thinning can affect confidence, styling options, and the way patients feel when they see their hairline, part, or crown changing over time. For some patients, the concern is gradual density loss. For others, shedding may follow pregnancy, stress, aging, or hormonal shifts.

At Image Surgical Arts, PRP / PDGF+ injections are used as non-surgical hair restoration treatments designed to support scalp health and encourage fuller-looking hair over time. Treatment is customized based on the patient’s hair pattern, scalp condition, medical history, and the type of regenerative support recommended.

Platelet-Based and Growth Factor Support for the Scalp

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is created from a small blood sample that is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain growth factors involved in the body’s natural repair response. When injected into targeted scalp areas, PRP may help support follicles and improve the appearance of hair density over time. PDGF+ refers to platelet-derived growth factor technology. Depending on the treatment plan, PDGF+ may be used to provide targeted growth factor support without relying solely on a traditional PRP process. Your provider will explain which option is most appropriate based on your scalp, thinning pattern, and treatment priorities.

Patients may consider PRP / PDGF+ injections for concerns such as:

Early hair thinning
Widening part
Reduced density
Crown thinning
Hairline changes
Postpartum shedding, when appropriate
Age-related hair changes
Scalp areas that need targeted regenerative care

Why Choose Image Surgical Arts?

Medical-Led Aesthetic Standards

Image Surgical Arts is led by Dr. Brady Harris, a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, and the medspa team approaches hair restoration with careful attention to safety, treatment planning, and patient education.

Personalized Hair Restoration Planning

Hair thinning can have many causes, so treatment should not be one-size-fits-all. The team evaluates scalp health, thinning pattern, timing, lifestyle factors, and treatment history before recommending PRP, PDGF+, or a combination approach.

Regenerative Treatment Experience

PRP / PDGF+ injections require accurate placement, appropriate timing, and realistic expectations. Image Surgical Arts helps patients understand how regenerative scalp treatments work and how they may fit into a longer-term maintenance plan.

Multiple Hair and Scalp Treatment Options

Because Image Surgical Arts offers PRP / PDGF+ injections, scalp microneedling, AquaFirmeXS Hair Restoration, HydraFacial Keravive Scalp, and supportive wellness options, patients can receive guidance across several non-surgical pathways.

How PRP Hair Restoration Works

For PRP hair restoration, the appointment begins with a small blood draw. The blood is processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma, which is then injected into targeted areas of the scalp. The goal is to place concentrated platelets where follicle support is needed.

PRP may help improve the scalp environment and support healthier-looking hair when follicles are still active enough to respond. PRP is not a surgical hair transplant and does not create instant hair growth. It is typically used as part of a series, with results developing gradually as the scalp and follicles respond over time.

How PDGF+ Fits Into Hair Restoration

PDGF+ may be recommended as another regenerative option for patients seeking growth factor support for the scalp. Platelet-derived growth factors are associated with repair and renewal processes, and they may be incorporated into a hair restoration plan when appropriate.

This option may appeal to patients who want a regenerative scalp treatment but need a plan that differs from traditional PRP. In some cases, PRP and PDGF+ may be discussed together, while in others, one may be favored based on the patient’s needs and provider recommendation.
During consultation, the Image Surgical Arts team will explain the role of each option clearly so patients understand what is being used and why.

Good Candidates for PRP / PDGF+ Injections

PRP / PDGF+ injections may be appropriate for men and women with early thinning, reduced density, or scalp areas where follicles may still be responsive. These treatments are often best for patients who begin care before hair loss becomes advanced. Good candidates are typically in overall good health and have realistic expectations about gradual improvement.

Patients with active scalp infections, certain medical conditions, advanced hair loss, or shedding caused by untreated medical issues may need additional evaluation before treatment. Hair thinning can be influenced by genetics, hormones, stress, medications, nutrition, and other factors. A consultation helps determine whether regenerative injections are a suitable option or whether additional medical guidance may be needed.

What to Expect During Treatment

A PRP / PDGF+ injection appointment begins with an evaluation of the scalp and review of the treatment plan. If PRP is being used, a small blood sample is collected and processed. If PDGF+ is part of the plan, your provider will explain how it is prepared and applied. The treatment area is then mapped, and injections are placed into targeted scalp regions.

Patients may feel pressure, pinching, or tenderness during the injections. Comfort measures can be discussed depending on sensitivity and treatment area. After treatment, mild redness, tenderness, swelling, or tightness may occur. Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after the appointment, though the team will provide aftercare instructions specific to the treatment.

Gradual Progress Toward Fuller-Looking Hair

Hair restoration results develop slowly because hair growth follows natural cycles. Patients should not expect immediate visible improvement after one session. Instead, changes in shedding, density, thickness, or scalp coverage may become more noticeable over several months. A series of treatments is often recommended, followed by maintenance sessions when appropriate.

Consistency is important because regenerative hair restoration is designed to support ongoing scalp and follicle health rather than provide a one-time permanent fix. At Image Surgical Arts, patients receive realistic guidance on timing, expected changes, and how PRP / PDGF+ injections may fit into a long-term hair plan.

PRP / PDGF+ Injections Frequently Asked Questions

How do PRP injections help with hair restoration?

PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to support the scalp and follicles. It may help improve the appearance of density and hair quality over time.

How is PDGF+ different from PRP?

PRP is derived from your own blood, while PDGF+ uses platelet-derived growth factor technology. Your provider can explain which option is best suited to your treatment plan.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients benefit from a series of treatments followed by maintenance. The number of sessions depends on the thinning pattern, scalp health, and response to treatment.

When will I see results?

Hair restoration results develop gradually over several months. Some patients may notice reduced shedding or improved hair quality before visible density changes appear.

Can PRP / PDGF+ injections be combined with scalp microneedling?

Yes. These injections may be combined with scalp microneedling, HydraFacial Keravive Scalp, AquaFirmeXS Hair Restoration, or supportive products when appropriate.
