PRP works by stimulating active follicular units to transform vellus hairs into terminal hairs. It will take hair in the telogen, resting phase, and put it into the growing phase. In general, PRP can bring back hair that has been lost in the last 3 to 5 years.Jeff Rapaport MD FAADRealself Verified All-star
Thank you for your question. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatments are an easy and natural way of improving hair thickness and also promoting new hair growth. However, these treatments will only work in areas where hair follicles are present. If the area no longer has hair follicles present, the treatments will not help. In other words, if an area is “shiny and bald”, it will not work.
