Start with a complimentary 30-minute injectables consultation to discuss hair restoration. A card is required to reserve online; no payment is collected at booking. The consultation does not include treatment. PRF hair treatment can be booked separately.
Hair Loss Concerns
A widening part, crown thinning, recession, and increased shedding can have different causes. Assessment comes first. Sudden, patchy, painful, inflamed, or scarring hair loss needs medical evaluation rather than an automatic injection series.
Ideal Candidate
A clinician should determine the cause of hair loss before a cosmetic treatment plan. Review scalp disease, medicines, nutritional concerns, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and blood or platelet disorders. Platelet injections can cause pain, bruising, swelling, or infection and are not suitable for everyone.
PRP vs. PRF vs. PDGF
PRP ($750/session) and PRF ($850/session) are different platelet preparations made from your blood. Ariessence PDGF ($900/session) is listed separately and requires confirmation of the proposed application: the manufacturer markets it solely as a topical cosmetic, and scalp injection for hair growth is not FDA-approved.
Thicker Hair, No Surgery
Why You'll Love It
Assess the cause of thinning and compare suitable options before a treatment series.
Pattern Hair-Loss Care
For selected pattern hair loss, PRP can be considered as one part of a plan. Response varies and treatment is chosen after the diagnosis.
Increased Hair Density
Some patients notice increased hair thickness or density over time. Use consistent photographs and follow-up assessment to judge change.
Non-Surgical Approach
A platelet treatment avoids transplant surgery but still involves injections. Tenderness, bruising, swelling, or infection can occur, and recovery varies.
Start With the Cause
The type of hair loss determines which treatment is appropriate.
Hair Loss Concerns We Treat
These concerns are reasons for an assessment, rather than proof that injections are the right treatment.
Thinning at the Crown
Crown thinning can be a pattern-hair-loss feature, but scalp examination and history matter. Compare platelet treatment with established options such as suitable medications and, where appropriate, surgical consultation.
Widening Part Line
A widening part can have several causes. Assessment helps distinguish pattern hair loss from shedding, inflammation, or another condition before choosing care.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum shedding often resolves naturally, with many women regaining fullness by their child’s first birthday. The AAD recommends assessment if normal growth has not returned by then. Do not assume an injection series or supplement is needed to speed this normal recovery; discuss breastfeeding and any persistent concerns with a clinician.
Receding Hairline
Hairline recession can relate to pattern loss, traction, or scarring disease. Early assessment matters, especially with itching, pain, or inflammation. The highest advertised growth-factor concentration is not evidence of the best treatment.
Excessive Shedding
Increased shedding can follow illness, stress, medication changes, childbirth, or nutritional problems. Treating the cause may be more useful than an injection series. Persistent or sudden loss needs clinical assessment.
Fine or Thinning Hair Texture
Finer hair may reflect miniaturization, breakage, or another cause. Scalp care and cosmetic hydration are different from treating hair loss; choose the plan from the diagnosis.
Injectable Restoration vs. Hair Transplant
Both approaches address hair loss, but they work differently and are suited for different stages of thinning. Here’s how non-surgical injectable restoration compares to surgical hair transplant.
Injection treatment, medication, and transplantation serve different needs. A dermatologist can clarify the diagnosis and medical options before a procedure. Scalp microneedling and product combinations need their own evidence and risk discussion.
What to Expect
Allow about 30–45 minutes for the clinic appointment. Plan around the provider’s procedure-specific recovery advice.
Scalp Assessment
Your provider reviews the loss pattern, scalp, medical history, and existing treatments. This may identify a need for dermatology assessment before deciding on an option.
Blood Draw & Processing
PRP and PRF require a blood draw and processing. Ariessence is manufactured and does not require a blood draw; confirm its proposed application and intended-use limits separately.
Scalp Injections
For PRP or PRF, the provider places the platelet preparation into selected scalp areas using a fine needle. Pressure, stinging, or discomfort can occur.
Immediate Recovery
Tenderness, swelling, bruising, or headache can follow injections. Follow the written instructions for washing, exercise, and products, and contact the clinic about increasing pain, drainage, or spreading redness.
Results Over Time
Any visible change is assessed over months, not immediately. Follow-up photographs and your clinician’s assessment help decide whether continuing treatment is worthwhile.
Post-Treatment Tips
Review all medicines and supplements before treatment. Do not stop prescribed blood thinners or other medicines without the prescribing clinician’s approval. Supplements should reflect individual need and possible interactions. See our post-care guidance.
Treatment Options
Choose an option only after the cause of hair loss and a realistic treatment goal are clear. Repeat timing and the number of visits are individualized.
PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma prepared from your blood and injected into selected scalp areas. PRP has clinical evidence for selected pattern hair loss, with variable response.
- Liquid plasma formulation
- Most established option
- Concentrated growth factors

PRF Hair Restoration
A blood-derived platelet preparation that forms a fibrin matrix. Discuss the evidence for your diagnosis and how it differs from PRP.
- Fibrin matrix scaffold
- Sustained, slow release
- Individualized assessment
- Response reviewed over time
Ariessence PDGF
Manufactured topical cosmetic containing PDGF-BB. Confirm the proposed application; its manufacturer does not market it as an FDA-approved scalp injection or hair-loss treatment.
- No blood draw required
- Pure PDGF serum
- Manufactured formula
- Application review required

Your provider will recommend the exact protocol based on your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and goals at consultation.
How Many Sessions & How Often
The number and interval depend on your concern, recovery, and response. Review the change after healing before deciding on another visit; a package is an option when repeat treatment fits the plan.
Further sessions should depend on the response and diagnosis. If benefit is limited, reassess the plan rather than automatically increasing treatment.
If you benefit, discuss whether maintenance is useful and how it fits ongoing medical care for the underlying cause.
Packages are available when repeat treatment fits the assessed plan. Supplements are optional and should be reviewed for evidence, interactions, and suitability.
How Hair Restoration Works
Hair loss has multiple causes. For selected pattern hair loss, platelet preparations are considered as one option after assessment.
The AAD describes diagnosis-based hair-loss treatment, including medication, platelet treatment, and other options. Clinical benefit varies; a laboratory growth-factor mechanism alone cannot predict regrowth.
Review progress over time and choose repeat treatment from the response. A fixed package should not replace a diagnosis or a medical treatment plan.
