Hairloss Treatment with PRP

As we age, visible signs such as hair loss and bald spots can impact our self-image. Fortunately, advancements in technology have enabled effective solutions without the expense and recovery time associated with surgery. Crystal Fontenot ANP-BC is proud to offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration to patients in Lafayette and the surrounding areas of Louisiana.

What is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP hair restoration utilizes a patient's own blood to promote hair growth on the scalp. After filtering the blood to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, this PRP, abundant in growth factors and proteins, is injected into areas with dormant hair follicles. This technique is a popular and effective treatment for both male and female pattern baldness.

Who is a Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration in  Lafayette?

PRP restoration is ideal for individuals with active hair follicles who want to slow hair loss, particularly those with androgenic alopecia. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as blood disorders. Our team at Elle Medical & Aesthetics will review your medical history to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

PRP hair restoration offers numerous benefits, including:



  • Enhanced hair thickness and density

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

How Many Treatments Are Required?

The PRP hair restoration process is straightforward and typically completed in under 30 minutes. Your provider will draw a small vial of blood and use a centrifuge to separate the blood components over 10 to 15 minutes, isolating the PRP. After applying a mild topical anesthetic to the scalp, the PRP is injected into the targeted areas. While some mild discomfort may be experienced, the procedure is generally safe with minimal side effects, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately afterward.

The number of PRP treatments needed varies by individual, but typically, three injections spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended. Your surgeon may also suggest complementary lifestyle changes or products to enhance treatment outcomes.

PRP Hair Restoration with PRP FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP Hair Restoration at Elle Medical & Aesthetics

  • How soon will I see results from PRP hair restoration?

    Most patients begin to see signs of new hair growth within 3 to 4 months, with full results becoming more noticeable around 6 to 12 months. Results vary depending on the extent of hair loss and consistency of treatment.

  • Does PRP hair restoration hurt?

    Most patients tolerate the procedure well. A topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort during injections. Some may feel mild pressure or sensitivity at the injection sites for a short period afterward.

  • Is PRP hair restoration permanent?

    PRP can slow or reverse early hair thinning, but maintenance treatments are typically needed. Ongoing sessions every 4 to 6 months help maintain hair density and prevent regression.

  • Is there any downtime after the treatment?

    No. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. You may experience slight redness or tenderness on the scalp, which usually resolves within 24 hours.

  • Can PRP regrow hair on bald spots?

    PRP is most effective for areas with thinning hair and active follicles. It may not be effective for completely bald spots where follicles are no longer functioning. Early intervention yields the best results.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    A typical treatment plan includes three initial sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. After this, maintenance sessions every few months may be recommended depending on your response.

  • Is PRP hair restoration safe?

    Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there’s little to no risk of allergic reaction or rejection. It’s considered a safe, non-surgical solution for hair loss with minimal side effects.

  • Who is not a candidate for PRP hair restoration?

    Individuals with certain blood or autoimmune disorders, chronic illness, or on specific  medications may not be ideal candidates. A full medical evaluation is required before starting treatment.

  • Can women get PRP for hair loss?

    Absolutely. PRP is safe and effective for women experiencing thinning hair due to hormonal changes, postpartum shedding, or female pattern hair loss.
