Hair
Non-surgical hair restoration combines PRP injections, low-level laser therapy and medical management to slow hair loss and thicken existing hair.
In short
Non-surgical hair restoration combines PRP injections, low-level laser therapy and medical management to slow hair loss and thicken existing hair. It works best on early to moderate thinning where follicles are still active — areas that have been fully bald for years need surgical transplantation instead.
The single most useful thing we can tell you is whether your follicles are still viable. That determines everything: an honest 'this will not work for you, here is what will' is worth more than a course of treatment that was never going to help.

The process
01
Pattern, duration and any medical contributors are assessed. Thyroid disease, iron deficiency and medication side effects all cause hair loss that no laser will fix.
02
Three to four sessions a month apart signal follicles still in a resting phase to re-enter growth.
03
Red light sessions support the scalp between PRP appointments and are used for ongoing maintenance.
04
Topical or oral therapy slows the underlying process. Most durable results come from combining approaches, not choosing one.
Most patients do best on a combination. Early-stage thinning responds far better than long-established bald areas, where follicles are no longer active.
| Option | How it works | Schedule | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PRP injections | Concentrated platelets from your own blood signal follicles to re-enter their growth phase | 3–4 sessions a month apart, then every 4–6 months | Early to moderate thinning with active follicles |
| Low-level laser therapy | Red light stimulates cellular activity in the scalp | Repeated short sessions over several months | Diffuse thinning; maintenance alongside PRP |
| Topical / oral medication | Slows the hormonal process driving the loss | Daily, ongoing | Holding ground long-term — usually combined with the above |
| Surgical transplant | Follicles relocated from a donor area | One or two procedures | Established bald areas — referred out, we do not perform surgery |
Common questions
Usually not. Once a follicle has been dormant for years it does not restart. These treatments are for preserving and thickening hair that is still there — which is why acting early matters so much.
Three to six months. Hair grows in cycles, and a follicle that re-enters its growth phase still has to grow the hair out.
Yes. Female pattern thinning often responds well, particularly when diffuse rather than patchy. Bloodwork is important first, as iron and thyroid issues are common contributors in women.
Yes — these treatments manage an ongoing process rather than curing it. Maintenance sessions every four to six months preserve what you have gained.
PRP for hair loss involves injecting concentrated platelets from your own blood into the scalp, where the released growth factors prompt resting follicles back into their growth phase.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy uses a small sample of your own blood, spun to concentrate its platelets, then re-injected into skin or scalp.
A vitamin B12 injection delivers cyanocobalamin or methylcobalamin into the muscle, bypassing the digestive system entirely.
