If you are experiencing excessive shedding and your hair appears to be thinner, finer, and will not grow to its former length, PRP hair rejuvenation may the perfect treatment.
What is PRP?
PRP is a component harvested from your own blood. It has a high concentration of platelets, called growth factors, that assist in blood clotting and trigger cell growth. The tissue growth factors in PRP have been found to be able to restore healthy function to hair follicles that have begun the process of going dormant, the first stage of balding.
How is PRP made?
The process is simple and pain-free, performed at our private clinic in Washington DC. A standard blood draw is performed, and the sample then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The PRP can now be injected into the scalp in the areas where the hair follicles are going dormant to promote healthy hair growth.

What is a PRP hair treatment like to experience?
This treatment is not difficult to experience. It involves a blood draw, after which the PRP is injected into the areas of the scalp that need help. The entire procedure takes about 1.5 hours to complete. You will need several treatments, spaced about one month apart. One of the advantages of PRP hair restoration is that the PRP is created from your own blood, with no risk of rejection or side effects, other than a slight tenderness at the injection sites, which quickly disappears.
What is the recovery from PRP hair treatments like?
The procedure does not involve any recovery time, and you are free to return to your usual activities immediately after treatment. You may have a slight redness at the injection site, or minor swelling as you could expect with any injection, which typically fades quickly. You can shower, shampoo, and condition your hair as usual 12 hours after undergoing treatment, with no restrictions on exercise. Do not color or perm hair for at least three days after treatment.

Women often struggle with hair loss, particularly as they get older. Called “female pattern baldness,” once thick, healthy hair begins to lose its strength and thickness, with the hairs thinner, breaking more easily, and often leading to a thinner look at the hair part. Hair loss can be triggered by factors such as poor nutrition, stress, some medications, illness, haircare treatments and products, and heredity. The hair loss in women is generally all over the scalp, rather than in specific areas, although this can occur.
What are the causes of hair loss in men?
Men suffer hair loss due to the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone produced by the body which causes the hair follicles to become thinner, eventually leading to balding. This problem affects a large percentage of men, who have inherited balding through genetics. In men, the balding is characterized by losing hair at the crown, a receding hairline, and at the temples. In the early stages of balding, PRP hair treatments have been proven to be an effective way to slow hair loss in men.

"I have never felt so confident. Dr. Chang completely changed how I saw myself in the mirror. I was terribly self conscious of my nose from my youth and finally decided to go through with the surgery. Not only was it inexpensive compared to the other three doctors I contacted, the before and after pictures of patients were also much better looking than the others! The whole process of surgery and recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. It really made me a happier person." - Catherine M.

He went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to explain exactly what the procedures (lift + implants) would entail. He was extremely responsive and truly understood the look that I was trying to achieve - full, natural for my frame, and with minimal scarring.
