PRP Therapy in St. Augustine, Florida

Platelet-Rich Plasma Hair Restoration
Your body already has what it needs to heal. PRP therapy simply unlocks it.
WHAT IS PRP THERAPY?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical hair restoration treatment that uses the healing power found naturally within your own blood to stimulate hair growth. By concentrating the growth factors already present in your body and delivering them directly to the scalp, PRP awakens dormant hair follicles and encourages them to produce thicker, healthier hair.

First pioneered in orthopedic and wound care medicine, PRP has become one of the most sought-after regenerative treatments in hair restoration — backed by a growing body of clinical research and trusted by physicians worldwide.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

PRP therapy is a straightforward, in-office procedure completed in three simple steps:
Step 1 — Blood Draw
A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine lab test. The entire process is quick and minimally uncomfortable.
Step 2 — Centrifuge Processing
Your blood is placed into a specialized centrifuge that spins at high speed, separating the platelet-rich plasma from the other components. The result is a concentrated serum packed with powerful growth factors.
Step 3 — Scalp Application
Using either fine needles or high-frequency ultrasonic vibration.
The entire appointment typically takes 60–90 minutes, and patients can return to their normal activities the same day.

WHAT CAN PRP TREAT?

PRP therapy is effective for a wide range of hair loss conditions, including:
Androgenetic Alopecia
The most common form of hair loss in both men and women, also known as male or female pattern baldness
Alopecia Areata
An autoimmune condition causing patchy hair loss
Telogen Effluvium
Stress or event-triggered shedding that disrupts the hair growth cycle
Thinning Hair
Early-stage hair loss before significant follicle miniaturization has occurred
Post-Transplant Recovery
PRP is frequently used alongside hair transplant procedures to accelerate healing and improve graft survival
The best candidates for PRP are those in the earlier stages of hair loss who still have active, viable follicles. During your consultation, Dr. Faruqi will evaluate your scalp and hair loss pattern to determine if PRP is the right fit for you.

What to Expect

Before Your Treatment
Arrive with a clean scalp, free of any styling products. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen for two weeks prior, as these can affect platelet activity. Stay well hydrated — it makes the blood draw easier and supports optimal platelet concentration.
During Your Treatment
Most patients describe the procedure as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. Topical anesthesia is applied to the applied to the scalp prior to injections to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
After Your Treatment
Some mild scalp tenderness, redness, or swelling is normal in the 24–48 hours following treatment. Avoid washing your hair or applying products for at least 6 hours post-procedure. Strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure should be avoided for the remainder of the day.

We believe you deserve complete transparency about what PRP can and cannot do.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PRP therapy works with your body’s natural growth cycle, so patience is key. The majority of scalp hair follicles live in the growth phase for an average of 2-6 years. Then they pause growth and enter the shedding phase over the next 2-4 months. PRP therapy helps keep follicles in the growth phase longer and shortens the resting phase before shedding.

PRP doesn’t just increase growth. It shortens the Telogen (Resting) phase so the hairs that already stopped growing actually shed earlier and get back to growing faster.

Most patients begin with a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 4–6 months thereafter to sustain results.

Pricing varies based on the number of sessions and whether PRP is combined with other treatments. We provide transparent, detailed pricing during your consultation — no surprises.

Since not all of the follicles in the growth phase, it’s important to repeat the treatment every 4-6 weeks to help all of the follicles increase their growth and reduce shedding. Patients begin to notice reduced shedding within the first few weeks. Visible improvements in density and thickness typically emerge at the 3–6 month mark, with continued progress over the following months.

A standard initial protocol consists of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 months to sustain and build upon results. Dr. Faruqi will create a treatment schedule tailored specifically to your hair loss stage and response to therapy.

Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, the risk of allergic reaction or rejection is virtually nonexistent. It is one of the safest regenerative treatments available.

PRP is a lunchtime procedure — most patients return to work and daily activities the same day. Minor scalp sensitivity may persist for 24–48 hours.

Absolutely. PRP pairs exceptionally well with exosome therapy, low-level laser therapy, and medical hair loss management. Dr. Faruqi may recommend a combined approach depending on your specific condition and goals.
