Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration in Overland Park & Kansas City

A Natural, Non-Surgical Treatment for Hair Thinning & Hair Loss

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment that uses the body’s own healing components to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and support natural hair regrowth. PRP has been widely used in medicine for decades and is one of the most established regenerative treatments for hair loss.

At Cosmetic Eye Institute & RSVP Med Spa, PRP hair restoration is performed under physician supervision and tailored to each patient’s pattern and cause of hair loss.

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood. After a small blood draw, the sample is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, which are rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins.

When PRP is injected into areas of hair thinning, it helps:

Stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles
Improve blood supply to the scalp
Prolong the hair growth (anagen) phase
Reduce inflammation associated with hair shedding

Because PRP comes from your own body, it is considered a natural treatment option.

Who Is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP may be appropriate for:

Early to moderate hair thinning
Female pattern hair loss
Male pattern hair loss (early stages)
Postpartum or stress-related hair shedding
Patients seeking a drug-free, non-surgical option

PRP is not ideal for advanced baldness where follicles are no longer active.

How PRP Hair Restoration Works

Blood draw performed in-office
Centrifugation to isolate platelet-rich plasma
Targeted scalp injections in areas of thinning
Minimal downtime — return to normal activity the same day

PRP is commonly performed as a series of treatments for best results.

PRP Hair Restoration vs Other Treatments

PRP vs Exosome Hair Restoration

PRP relies on the patient’s own platelet quality
Exosomes provide standardized cell-signaling molecules
Younger patients often respond very well to PRP

PRP vs Hair Transplant

PRP preserves and strengthens existing hair
Hair transplant redistributes follicles surgically
PRP is often used before or after transplant for support

PRP vs Medications (Minoxidil / Finasteride)

PRP does not alter hormones
PRP can be safely combined with medications

What Results Can You Expect?

Most patients experience:

Decreased hair shedding within 1–2 months
Improved hair thickness and texture by 3–4 months
Continued improvement with maintenance treatments

Results vary depending on age, genetics, and cause of hair loss.

How Many PRP Treatments Are Needed?

A typical protocol includes:

Initial series: 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Maintenance: 1 treatment every 3-6 months

Your treatment plan is customized after a consultation.

Is PRP Hair Restoration Safe?

Yes. PRP uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Mild side effects may include temporary scalp tenderness, swelling, or redness.
