Understanding the effectiveness and safety of PRP hair restoration
In your search for hair loss treatment near me in Washington, D.C., Eternal Dermatology & Aesthetic Center in Fulton, Maryland, encourages you to consider our innovative approaches to non-surgically regrowing hair. Our in-house hair restoration center offers a range of advanced options, including the PRP procedure.
Is PRP treatment safe?
Yes. Platelet Rich Plasma is a powerful healing cocktail derived from your blood. Therefore, it is highly tissue-compatible. The risks of adverse sensitivities, reactions, and rejection are avoided. Additionally, PRP and other treatments at our office are performed by a qualified board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist, Dr. Ife Rodney. When performed by a licensed and highly trained specialist, such as Dr. Rodney, in a sterile medical environment, the risks of side effects and complications are minimized.
Before & After Results
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for Hair Loss
- The patient came in with worsening hair loss on the crown of the scalp, which had been present for years.
- We performed a series of 4 PRP treatments on the scalp.
- The patient was thrilled with the results, as she could now style her and no longer felt she needed to wear a wig.
Does PRP really work for hair restoration?
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of PRP, especially when treating androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness). Researchers reported visible improvements in both hair count and shaft diameter (a measure of hair thickness). PRP hair restoration also has a very favourable 94% “worth it” rating on RealSelf, so patients are generally highly satisfied with their results.

How does PRP compare to other treatments at your office?
Dr. Rodney provides a complete range of hair restoration products and procedures. There are many different types of hair loss, so what works for one patient may not work as well for someone else. She bases her treatment recommendations on a thorough evaluation of your needs and medical history. Generally, PRP is considered to be a minimally invasive and all-natural alternative to services such as hair transplantation. We emphasize, too, that our hair transplant technique is far less invasive and far more comfortable than “traditional” hair transplant surgeries.
Am I a good candidate for PRP, or is another treatment better for me?
We won’t know for sure until after a full evaluation has been performed. PRP may be most effective for patients with early to moderate hair thinning. It may also be an appropriate option for those individuals with viable hair follicles. It may be less effective for those with permanent follicular damage and completely bald patches. Other factors that can affect the results from your treatment include your hormones, genes, gender, age, and lifestyle. For instance, eating a balanced diet and not smoking or vaping supports the healthy blood flow that your hair needs to grow. We also consider your personal habits when determining the most suitable treatments to stimulate hair growth and/or slow hair loss.
