PRP for Hair Loss

For early thinning, shedding, and decreased density.

At Kleydman Dermatology in Brooklyn, PRP for hair loss is performed as part of a dermatologist-guided hair restoration plan. Dr. Kate Kleydman evaluates your scalp, hair pattern, shedding history, medical background, and goals before recommending treatment.

PRP may be a strong option for men and women experiencing early thinning, decreased density, postpartum shedding, or pattern hair loss where the follicles are still active.

What can PRP help with?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma may be recommended when you are noticing more shedding, thinner ponytails, decreased density, widening part lines, crown thinning, or early pattern hair loss.

It is commonly used to support:

  • Early hair thinning
  • Decreased hair density
  • Male or female pattern hair loss
  • Crown thinning
  • Widening part line
  • Postpartum shedding that has not fully recovered
  • Stress-related shedding, when appropriate
  • Scalp areas where follicles are still active
  • Maintenance after other hair restoration treatments


PRP tends to work best when follicles are still active.

During your consultation, Dr. Kleydman will assess your scalp, pattern of thinning, shedding timeline, and medical history to determine whether PRP is appropriate.

Not sure if your follicles are still active?

Dr. Kleydman will assess your scalp, thinning pattern, and hair loss history to determine whether PRP is the right next step.

How PRP works

PRP begins with a routine blood draw, which is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. This concentrated PRP is then injected into areas of thinning to support active follicles, improve the scalp environment, and encourage healthier-looking hair over time.

Who PRP works best for

PRP may be a good option for patients who are noticing thinning or shedding but still have active follicles in the treatment area.


It is often considered for:

Men with early pattern hair loss

PRP may help support areas of early thinning, especially around the crown or areas where density is starting to decrease.

Women with thinning or decreased density
PRP may be helpful for widening part lines, reduced fullness, or early female pattern hair loss.

Postpartum shedding

For some patients, PRP may be considered when postpartum shedding does not fully recover or density remains noticeably reduced.

Patients using other hair treatments

PRP can often be paired with medical hair treatments, topical products, oral medications, or post-transplant maintenance when appropriate.

Treatment timeline

Is PRP right for your type of hair loss?

Hair loss can be caused by genetics, hormones, stress, postpartum changes, nutrition, medications, scalp inflammation, medical conditions, or a combination of factors. Dr. Kleydman will determine whether PRP is appropriate — or whether another treatment, lab work, medication, scalp care, or a combination plan would make more sense.


PRP tends to work best when follicles are still active, so if an area is completely bald or the follicles are no longer functioning, PRP is less likely to create meaningful regrowth.

What To Expect:

Can PRP be done the same day?

Yes, in many cases PRP can be performed the same day as your consultation if you are an appropriate candidate and your medical history supports treatment.

Dr. Kleydman will first assess your scalp, hair loss pattern, medications, health history, and goals before deciding whether same-day treatment is appropriate.

Before your treatment

Arrive well-hydrated, since this can help make the blood draw smoother.

Come with a clean scalp and hair, and avoid heavy styling products, hair fibers, oils, or sprays before your visit.

Let our team know about any new medications, blood thinners, health changes, recent scalp procedures, pregnancy or postpartum status, or history of scalp conditions.

What Else To Know

During treatment

A small amount of blood is drawn in-office and processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma.

The PRP is then injected into targeted areas of thinning on the scalp. Most patients describe the treatment as pressure, quick pinches, or brief tenderness.

Pro-Nox may be available for additional comfort during treatment.

Appointments typically take about 45–60 minutes.

After treatment

Mild scalp tenderness, tightness, pinpoint redness, or sensitivity can occur for 1–2 days.

You will receive guidance on when to wash your hair and resume styling products. We typically recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, saunas, hot tubs, and excess heat for the first 24 hours.

Results build gradually. Many patients notice shedding improves first, while visible thickening and density changes develop over several months.
