Is a PRP Hair Restoration Painful?

PRP hair restoration isn’t considered painful besides a minor tingling sensation. Dr. Motykie might suggest a local anesthetic to manage any discomfort. General anesthesia is not advised for PRP Hair Treatment therapy.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

In general, a single session doesn’t do the trick, but depending on the extent of a patient’s baldness and goals, they might need a cumulative treatment impact. In that situation, a secondary treatment sequence is encouraged approximately six months after the initial treatment.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Most patients will begin to see thicker, fuller hair in as little as two months after the initial treatment, although the best results are usually visible within three to six months and may continue to improve for up to a year. Some patients may require multiple treatments to achieve optimal hair growth.

Can I Combine a PRP Hair Restoration with Other Procedures?

Absolutely! Many of our patients who have received a PRP hair restoration treatment in West Hollywood at Motykie Spa have considered combining the treatment with other facial rejuvenation treatments, such as BOTOX or HydraFacial. We recommend that you bring these goals up with Dr. Motykie at your initial consultation so that he can advise you about the best course of action to help you achieve your desired aesthetic results.

What Are the Risks Associated with a PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP hair restoration is considered low-risk as the body’s plasma is being reinjected into the system. However, there are still some potential risks that you should be aware of, such as: Bleeding Dizziness Infection Nausea Nerve injuries Scalp pain Tissue damage If you feel any of these side effects or are facing any unexpected or long-lasting reactions that are concerning, please contact our offices immediately.

Introduction to PRP Hair Restoration

Do you think your ability to grow your natural hair is gone forever? Think again! Our non-surgical hair restoration treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may reactivate unproductive hair follicles and enable you to regrow your natural hair!

It may sound too good to be true, but it’s not! While hair thinning and loss due to male or female pattern baldness, hypotrichosis, alopecia areata, or alopecia totalis was once thought to be caused by the death of hair follicles on the scalp, experts now believe that these follicles are simply unproductive, dormant, or injured. With our revolutionary PRP-based hair restoration treatment in West Hollywood at Motykie Med Spa, we may be able to reactive previously unproductive hair follicles to spark the growth of thicker, fuller, and truly real hair! So schedule your consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie and get in for treatment as soon as possible.

From his West Hollywood state-of-the-art practice on Sunset Blvd., Dr. Motykie is proud to provide PRP Hair treatments for Los Angeles & Beverly Hills patients.

What is a PRP Hair Restoration?

Our advanced PRP-based hair loss treatment works by harnessing powerful growth factors found in platelets, a type of blood cell, to “heal” previously unproductive hair follicles. Once isolated and activated, these growth factors stimulate adult stem cells within the follicles to encourage localized cell growth and generate new blood vessels at the follicle, ensuring that the follicles receive the hydration and oxygen necessary for hair growth.

Your PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Journey with Dr. GARY MOTYKIE

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting a PRP Hair Restoration in Los Angeles is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gary Motykie. During this consultation, he will talk to you about your medical history, aesthetic goals, and concerns. He will then examine your scalp, checking the target areas to see if this treatment best matches your needs. Finally, he will outline the pros and cons of the procedure to manage your expectations. If you would like to see them, you can ask for past-patient before and after photographs.

If you both decide to move forward with the PRP hair restoration treatment, Dr. Motykie will create a customized treatment plan. You can then take this plan to our patient concierge to schedule your treatment and for any payment options. At this time, ask for any pre- or post-treatment instructions. Plasma and platelet health are vital to the success of PRP Hair Treatment, so please adhere closely to Dr. Motykie’s advice, including instructions on how to stop smoking and certain medications ahead of the treatment.

What to Expect on the Day of a PRP Hair Restoration Treatment

Our PRP-based hair restoration is non-surgical and minimally invasive. It involves drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP and activate the necessary growth factors. Once the scalp is numbed with a local anesthetic, the PRP is injected into the target area. Utilizing an extremely fine-gauge needle, the injections occur in a precise matrix pattern, focusing on the area of the scalp where hair loss is most severe.

PRP Hair Restoration Recovery

This is a low-to-no-recovery process, and so patients are free to go right after the treatment. Some patients might report minor swelling and discomfort, which can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. You will see your results in three to six months.
