Hair loss can feel like it sneaks up on you. One day your hair feels full and thick, and the next, you’re noticing more strands on your pillow or a widening part that won’t go unnoticed. Maybe it’s postpartum shedding, stress, or just a slow change you’ve been putting off addressing. Whatever the cause, it’s important to know this—you’re not alone, and you don’t have to just accept it as part of life.
At Celebrity Hair Restoration in Toronto, we’ve helped clients at all stages of their hair journey feel more confident and in control. One of our most requested services? Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment. It’s a natural, non-surgical option that taps into your body’s own healing power to restore hair density and improve scalp health.
If you’ve been curious about PRP or wondering if it’s worth the investment, this guide is for you. We’ll walk you through what PRP actually is, who it’s best for, what to expect during the treatment process, and why so many of our clients trust us with their hair restoration goals.
What is PRP—and how does it work?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and yes, it involves your own blood—but don’t worry, it’s a straightforward process. PRP therapy has been used in other areas of medicine (like sports injuries and skin rejuvenation), and it’s gained popularity in the hair restoration world for a good reason: it’s effective, minimally invasive, and uses no chemicals or foreign substances.
Here’s how it works:
We draw a small amount of your blood and place it in a centrifuge—a machine that spins it at a high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This golden-coloured plasma is packed with growth factors that support healing and tissue regeneration. Once separated, we inject the PRP into targeted areas of your scalp—specifically where you’re seeing signs of thinning or shedding.
The idea is to “wake up” dormant hair follicles and support their growth cycle. Over time, PRP can improve both the density and texture of your hair, making it a great option for many people who want noticeable results without surgery.
What can PRP help with?
PRP is a versatile treatment that works well for both men and women. You might be a good candidate if you’re dealing with any of the following:
- Androgenetic alopecia (also known as male or female pattern baldness)
- Thinning at the crown or hairline
- Postpartum hair loss
- Hair changes due to hormonal shifts
- Hair damage from tight styles or traction alopecia
- Alopecia areata, which causes patchy hair loss in some areas
Whether you’re just starting to notice changes or have been dealing with hair loss for a while, PRP might be the missing piece of your hair restoration puzzle. Our team will always take the time to assess your scalp health and overall hair goals to see if it’s the right option for you.
What does a PRP session look like?
We pride ourselves on offering a comfortable, professional, and personalized experience at Celebrity Hair Restoration. Here’s what your visit would typically include:
1. Consultation & scalp analysis
You’ll begin with a full consultation and hair/scalp assessment from our certified trichologist and nurse practitioner. We’ll take a look at your scalp under magnification, ask about your hair history, any underlying conditions, and talk through your goals. If PRP is a good fit, we’ll design a treatment plan together.
2. Blood draw & plasma prep
A small blood sample is taken (about one vial), which is then spun in our centrifuge to extract the platelet-rich plasma. This step only takes a few minutes.
3. PRP injections
Once the plasma is ready, we’ll inject it directly into areas of concern on your scalp using a fine needle. We apply a numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout the process. Some clients feel slight pressure or mild sensitivity, but overall, the session is well-tolerated.
4. Aftercare & downtime
You’re done! There’s virtually no downtime with PRP. Some clients experience mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites, but this usually fades within a day. You can return to your normal routine right after your session.
When will you see results?
One of the most common questions we hear is: How soon will I see a difference? While results vary, most clients follow this general timeline:
- After a few weeks: You may notice a reduction in daily hair shedding
- Around 3 months: New growth starts to appear—tiny “baby hairs” begin to fill in previously sparse areas
- By 6 months: Hair feels denser, fuller, and healthier overall
We typically recommend a series of 3 to 4 PRP sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. After that, maintenance treatments once or twice per year can help you maintain your progress.
Why clients love PRP at Celebrity Hair Restoration
What sets our clinic apart is the blend of clinical expertise and personal care we bring to every appointment. We understand that hair loss isn’t just physical—it can take a serious toll on your confidence and well-being. That’s why we approach every client relationship with empathy, education, and ongoing support.
Here’s why our clients keep coming back:
- We look at the big picture: PRP is one piece of the puzzle. We also explore lifestyle, nutrition, scalp health, and haircare habits to support long-term results.
- We never rush you: Our consultations are thorough, and your comfort is always a priority
- We’ve seen real results: Some of our clients have experienced 30–70% improvement in hair density
Take it from Nicole, one of our regulars:
“After my third PRP session, I could already see a difference—less scalp showing and thicker hair coming in. I feel like myself again.”
Is PRP right for you?
PRP can be a great solution for anyone in the early to moderate stages of hair thinning. It works best if you’re in generally good health, open to a full treatment plan, and committed to gentle but consistent hair care routines.
If you’re dealing with more advanced hair loss or a scarring form of alopecia, PRP might not be the best starting point—but don’t worry. Our team will guide you through all available options and make sure you’re matched with the right treatment.
