Regenerative Hair Restoration with PRP
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a revolutionary, non-surgical medical treatment that harnesses your body’s own natural healing power to combat hair thinning and loss. Based on the principles of regenerative medicine, PRP works by utilizing the concentrated growth factors found in your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles. At VIDA Dermatology, we use advanced techniques to concentrate these bio-active healing cells, providing a powerful solution for those looking to increase hair volume, density, and scalp health.
PRP is an ideal option for individuals experiencing early-stage hair thinning or androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) who prefer a natural approach over pharmaceutical or surgical interventions. By injecting these concentrated growth factors directly into the scalp, we can "jumpstart" the hair growth cycle and strengthen existing strands.
At VIDA Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologists personalize every PRP treatment plan. Whether you are noticing a widening part, a receding hairline, or general thinning, PRP offers a clinically-backed, safe, and effective way to help you regain your hair and your confidence with natural-looking results.
What is PRP for Hair Loss?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a concentrated source of autologous platelets found in your own blood. These platelets contain specialized growth factors that play a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration. When applied to hair restoration, PRP increases blood flow to the hair follicle and extends the "growth phase" (anagen phase) of the hair cycle. Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is virtually no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, making it one of the safest hair restoration options available today.

Addressing Hair Loss and Thinning
Hair loss can be a deeply personal concern, often caused by genetics, stress, hormonal changes, or aging. It often begins subtly, with more hair in the brush or a loss of "fullness" when styling. At VIDA Dermatology in Edmonton, we offer a medical-grade approach to hair restoration. By focusing on the health of the follicle, our PRP treatments help to reverse the "miniaturization" of hair, leading to a fuller, thicker appearance without the need for invasive hair transplants.
