Why PRP Scalp Injections Are One of the Top Rated Hair Growth Treatments

Renovo Aesthetics | Houston, TX

Hair thinning and hair loss can affect confidence, self-image, and overall wellness — in both men and women. At Renovo, one of our top-rated restorative options for hair density, strength, and regrowth is PRP Scalp Injections.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) has rapidly become one of the most in-demand and respected solutions in regenerative aesthetics — especially for hair restoration — because it uses your own natural growth factors to stimulate dormant hair follicles without surgery, medication side effects, or foreign substance implants.

This blog will break down what PRP is, how the treatment works, how the science works behind hair regrowth, what to expect, and why more patients are choosing PRP as their go-to hair loss solution.

What is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma — a concentrated portion of your own blood that is rich in growth factors, cytokines, healing proteins, and regenerative cells.

When we draw your blood and spin it in a centrifuge, we separate and isolate this high-density, platelet-rich portion. Platelets are the body’s natural repair cells — and when injected into the scalp, they stimulate tissue repair, blood supply, collagen production, and follicle activation.

PRP = natural biological reactivation.

How PRP Scalp Injections Work for Hair Regrowth

When PRP is injected into the scalp, it targets the hair follicle root where the growth process happens.

It works in three major ways:

1. Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to follicles

Hair follicles begin to miniaturize when circulation decreases. PRP brings powerful growth factors directly into the follicle environment.

2. Re-activates dormant follicles

PRP “wakes up” follicles that have slowed or stopped producing thick hair.

3. Strengthens existing follicles & prevents worsening loss

It improves the thickness, density, and strength of hair that is still actively growing — which prevents future hair loss progression.

The Science Behind PRP

PRP contains high levels of:

• PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor)

• VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor)

• IGF (Insulin-Like Growth Factor)

• TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor Beta)

These are clinically proven to stimulate regeneration, cellular turnover, collagen renewal, and angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels).

These growth factors tell the follicle to enter Active Growth Phase (Anagen) — which is the stage where healthy, thicker hair grows.

That’s why PRP is able to produce visibly fuller, denser, more youthful hair.

Why PRP is Top Rated for Hair Loss

• Natural treatment (no medication side effects or hormonal interaction)

• Uses your own body’s cellular intelligence

• No surgery, no downtime

• Safe for both men & women

• Targets the cause of thinning — not just the symptom

• Helps prevent continued thinning as well

• One of the only treatments that both restores & protects follicles

What Conditions PRP Works Best For:

• Androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern hair loss)

• Thinning hair from stress or aging

• Hair shedding postpartum

• Early stage hair thinning

• Weak, miniaturizing hair fibers

• Hair loss after illness or rapid weight changes

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Blood draw

2. PRP separation in centrifuge

3. PRP injected directly into scalp areas of thinning or shedding

4. Treatments are typically done in a series (every 4–6 weeks depending on case)

5. Maintenance treatments are recommended for long-term hair health

Results build over time — most patients begin to see visible improvement in thickness and shedding reduction within 8–12 weeks.

Final Thoughts

PRP Scalp Injections are one of the most bio-compatible, science-backed treatments for restoring hair growth naturally. If you are noticing more shedding, widening part lines, traction thinning, or early scalp visibility — this is the time to treat it. PRP works best when hair miniaturization is early, not when follicles have already died.

Renovo offers advanced PRP scalp protocols that combine technique, precision, medical-grade concentration, and tailored treatment plans for hair restoration success.
