PRP hair restoration in Chicago uses your own platelets and growth factors to support struggling follicles and slow thinning. At PURE it is matched to your diagnosis, not sold as a one-size-fits-all fix, inside a physician-led program.
LegitScriptCertified
PRP hair restoration in Chicago concentrates the platelets and growth factors in your own blood and delivers them to the scalp, supporting hair follicles, improving the scalp environment, and helping slow thinning in the right candidates.
Start With the Free ConsultPlatelet-rich plasma is made from a small sample of your own blood. The sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, which carry growth factors involved in healing and tissue support. That concentrate is then delivered into targeted areas of the scalp. The idea is to give weakened follicles a better environment to keep producing healthy hair. PRP and PRF are core tools in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 medical and regenerative levels of the hair restoration in Chicago program, and because the material comes from your own body, there is no foreign substance involved. What makes PURE different is that PRP is never the automatic answer. A physician confirms the likely cause of your hair loss first, then decides whether platelet therapy actually fits.
Both come from your own blood, but they are processed differently and tend to suit different stages. Your physician recommends the right one for your diagnosis.
Spun at higher speed to concentrate platelets in a liquid plasma. Often used for early or preventive thinning and increased shedding, and frequently paired with microneedling or topicals.
Spun at lower speed and free of additives, forming a fibrin matrix that can release growth factors more gradually. Often preferred for more advanced thinning, and used to support hair before or after a transplant.
A typical session is straightforward and done in office. Here is the general flow, always personalized and physician-directed.
A small sample of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine lab draw.
The sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets and growth factors.
The concentrate is delivered into targeted scalp areas, often alongside microneedling for better uptake.
You return for a planned series, and we document change with standardized photos at each visit.
PRP and PRF are a series, not a single visit, and hair grows slowly. Knowing the rhythm up front makes it easier to stay consistent, which is what drives results.
An initial series is commonly spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to build a foundation. Your exact schedule depends on your plan.
Some patients notice less shedding in this early window. This is often the first sign before visible density changes.
Because hair grows slowly, visible thickening typically takes 3 to 6 months. Standardized photos help you see change you might miss day to day.
Maintenance sessions every few months help preserve results, since pattern hair loss is progressive and ongoing support protects your gains.
PRP and PRF work best in the right situations, and PURE Hair ReGrow confirms the cause first. Here is who tends to benefit, and when we screen for something else.
When follicles are still active, platelet therapy can help support them and slow the pace of thinning.
Both men with pattern thinning and women with diffuse thinning or part widening can be candidates after evaluation.
Recent or ongoing shedding with a treatable cause is a common reason patients start a platelet-based plan.
PRP and PRF can support the scalp before or after a NeoGraft FUE transplant as part of a longer plan.
PRP cannot fix every cause of hair loss, and we will recommend a different path when these apply:
Confirming the cause first is what keeps your plan honest and your money well spent.

Honest answers so you can decide with clear information.
PRP hair restoration uses platelet-rich plasma made from your own blood. A small sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets and growth factors, which are then applied to the scalp to support hair follicles, improve the scalp environment, and help slow thinning in appropriate candidates. Because it comes from your own body, there is no foreign substance involved.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are both made from your own blood but processed differently. PRF is spun at lower speeds and forms a fibrin matrix that can release growth factors more gradually. Many clinicians use PRP for earlier or preventive thinning and PRF for more advanced cases, but the right choice depends on your diagnosis. Your physician will recommend which fits your plan.
PRP is widely used by clinicians for hair restoration, and it should not be marketed as FDA-approved for hair regrowth. During your consultation, your provider will explain the protocol, the evidence, and the regulatory considerations that apply to your specific plan, so you have honest information before you decide.
PRP and PRF are a series, not a single visit. Many protocols involve several initial sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few months. The exact number depends on your diagnosis, scalp health, and response. Your physician will outline a realistic plan during your consultation.
Some patients notice reduced shedding within 1 to 2 months, while density changes typically take 3 to 6 months because hair grows slowly. Standardized photos at each visit help document changes that are hard to notice day to day. Results vary, and maintenance is recommended to preserve them.
Most patients tolerate PRP and PRF well. Comfort measures are used during the scalp injections, and downtime is minimal, with most people returning to normal activities the same day. Your team will give you simple aftercare guidance, such as keeping the scalp clean and avoiding heavy sweating briefly.
Often yes. Clinical experience suggests a multimodal plan tends to outperform any single treatment. PRP and PRF are frequently combined with microneedling, low-level light therapy, and medical topicals, and they can also support hair before or after a NeoGraft FUE transplant. Your plan is built around your diagnosis.
PRP and PRF are best suited to early to moderate pattern hair loss and increased shedding where follicles can still be supported. PURE Hair ReGrow is diagnose-first, so a physician confirms the likely cause of your hair loss before recommending PRP, and will screen for red flags that should be evaluated medically first.
Important: This page is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice or a diagnosis. PRP and PRF are used by many clinicians for hair restoration but should not be described as FDA-approved for hair regrowth, and they are not appropriate for everyone. Individual results vary and depend on the cause of hair loss, adherence, and biological response. No specific outcome is guaranteed, and timelines described are typical ranges, not promises. All treatments are provided under physician supervision following a consultation. Please consult a licensed medical provider to determine whether PRP, PRF, or any hair restoration therapy is appropriate for you.
