PRP Hair Restoration in New York City
An autologous, injectable treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood to support selected types of hair loss.
PRP is prepared from a small blood sample, concentrated in-office and injected into areas of thinning hair.
At Dermatology Circle, PRP is recommended after evaluating the cause, pattern and stage of hair loss — not simply because thinning is visible.
Our approach
The value of PRP depends on selecting
the right patient and placing it within
the right long-term treatment plan.

The Treatment
What Is PRP for Hair Loss?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma — a concentrated portion of plasma prepared from a patient's own blood.
It contains platelets and signaling proteins and is injected into selected areas of the scalp as an adjunctive regenerative treatment.
Prepared In Office
The sample is processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma fraction.
Delivered to the Scalp
PRP is injected into selected areas based on the pattern of thinning.
Important distinction
PRP may support existing follicles,
but it cannot recreate follicles that have
already been permanently destroyed.
From Blood Draw to Scalp Treatment
How PRP Is Prepared & Delivered.
The procedure begins with a blood draw and ends with targeted injections into areas of hair thinning.
Collect
Blood Draw
A small blood sample is collected during the visit.
Separate
Centrifugation
The sample is processed to separate its blood components.
Prepare
PRP Fraction
The platelet-rich portion is isolated for treatment.
Deliver
Scalp Injections
The prepared PRP is injected across selected treatment areas.
Our preparation
Dermatology Circle uses an EmCyte PRP
processing system with a standardized
in-office workflow.
Candidate Selection
Who May Benefit From PRP?
PRP is not equally appropriate for every type or stage of hair loss.
The strongest rationale is generally in patients who still have viable follicles and a diagnosis that may respond to regenerative support.
Diagnosis first
Visible thinning can represent very different
biological processes — and those processes
require different treatments.
Learn about hair-loss evaluationBest-supported use
Pattern Hair Loss
Men and women with androgenetic alopecia are among the most common patients considered for PRP.
Androgenetic alopeciaTiming matters
Early-to-Moderate Thinning
PRP is more logically considered while miniaturized follicles remain present.
Combination care
Patients Already on Treatment
PRP can complement established medical therapy when additional regenerative treatment is appropriate.
Selected cases
Persistent Diffuse Thinning
The cause of active shedding should be evaluated before PRP is considered.
Telogen effluviumDifferent priority
Inflammatory or Scarring Alopecia
Active inflammatory disease requires control of the underlying process first. PRP should not replace treatment intended to stop follicular inflammation.
Research · Realistic Expectations
What Does the Evidence Say?
PRP has been studied most extensively in androgenetic alopecia.
Clinical trials and systematic reviews suggest that selected patients may experience improvement in hair density, although protocols and outcomes vary considerably.
Pattern Hair Loss
The best-established use of PRP in hair restoration is as an adjunct for androgenetic alopecia.
Hair Density
Studies have reported increases in visible hair density in some treated patients.
Protocol Variability
PRP systems, platelet concentrations, injection techniques and intervals differ between studies.
Response Varies
Diagnosis, stage of disease, concurrent therapy and individual biology influence the result.
Our interpretation
PRP is a reasonable evidence-supported option
for selected patients — not a guaranteed
or universal solution for hair loss.
Multimodal Hair-Loss Care
PRP Is Usually Part of the Plan.
Pattern hair loss is chronic and progressive. PRP does not change that underlying biology.
Depending on the diagnosis, PRP may be combined with medical therapy, low-level light therapy or other regenerative approaches.

Board-Certified Dermatologist
Dermatopathologist
The value of PRP begins before the first injection is performed.
Dr. Viktoryia Kazlouskaya evaluates the hair and scalp to determine why thinning is occurring and whether PRP has a reasonable role in the treatment plan.
This diagnostic approach is particularly important when hair loss is progressing, shedding is active, scalp symptoms are present or the clinical pattern is not straightforward.
Practice principle
PRP is most useful when the diagnosis is clear,
patient selection is appropriate and treatment
is integrated into the broader hair-loss plan.

PRP Hair Restoration FAQ
Questions Patients Often Ask.
Candidacy, preparation and treatment schedules vary. These answers provide general guidance, not individual medical instructions.
Schedule an evaluation01 What is PRP for hair loss?
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a patient's own blood. After processing, the platelet-rich portion is injected into selected areas of thinning as a regenerative adjunct.
02 Does PRP work for pattern hair loss?
Clinical studies support PRP as a reasonable treatment option for selected patients with androgenetic alopecia. Response and treatment protocols vary.
03 Can women have PRP for hair loss?
Yes. Women with female pattern hair loss may be candidates, particularly when viable miniaturized follicles remain.
04 Is PRP better than minoxidil?
These are different treatments rather than direct substitutes. Selected patients may use both as part of an individualized plan.
05 How painful are PRP scalp injections?
Patients usually feel a series of small injections, pressure or temporary scalp tenderness.
06 What side effects can occur?
Temporary tenderness, redness, swelling, bruising or scalp sensitivity can occur after treatment.
07 How many PRP treatments are needed?
A common initial course may include approximately three to six sessions separated by several weeks. The exact schedule is individualized.
08 When should I expect results?
Hair grows slowly, so meaningful assessment generally occurs over several months.
09 Can PRP be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Depending on the diagnosis, PRP may be combined with medical therapy, low-level light therapy or other regenerative treatments.
10 How should I prepare for PRP?
Tell your dermatologist about prescription medications, aspirin, NSAIDs, anticoagulants and supplements before treatment. Do not stop prescribed medication unless the prescribing clinician advises it is safe.
11 Who may need to avoid or postpone PRP?
Active scalp infection, significant blood or platelet disorders, anticoagulation and certain medical conditions may affect whether or when treatment is appropriate.
