Noticing more hair in your brush or shower drain than usual can be stressful, especially when you start to see your scalp peek through in photos or under bright lights. By the time you start looking into PRP hair restoration, you may already feel a mix of hope and nerves about what the actual appointment will be like.
If this is your first time considering a hair restoration treatment, it is completely normal to wonder how long you will be there, what the visit feels like, and how comfortable the process really is. At Aestique Medispa, the focus is on making your treatment day feel organized, calm, and predictable, so you never feel rushed or unsure about what is coming next.
Below is a clear look at what your treatment day experience is like, from the moment you arrive at Aestique Medispa until you head back to your normal routine.
What Are Natural Growth Factor Injections For Hair Restoration?
Natural Growth Factor Injections are created from your own blood. The plasma is processed so that it contains a high concentration of platelets, which are rich in growth factors that support tissue repair and cell regeneration. When this concentrated plasma is placed into the scalp, those growth factors help stimulate hair follicles, improve blood flow, and encourage healthier, thicker hair over time.
At Aestique Medispa, this approach is used specifically for people dealing with thinning hair or early hair loss who want a more natural option than surgery or medications alone. Treatments are commonly performed in a series, with multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance visits to keep results progressing.
Before Your PRP Hair Restoration Appointment
Your experience starts with a consultation at Aestique Medispa. During this visit, your provider reviews your hair loss history, medical background, and areas of concern. You can discuss:
- Where you are noticing thinning or shedding
- How long the hair loss has been happening
- Any medications, stress, or health changes that may play a role
Your provider will also examine your scalp and talk about realistic goals. In many cases, PRP hair restoration is recommended alongside healthy hair habits and sometimes in combination with other options available at Aestique, such as microneedling or laser treatments for overall scalp health.
Once you are comfortable with the plan, your treatment sessions are scheduled. Many patients appreciate that the procedure is minimally invasive and typically involves very little downtime.
Step By Step: Your Treatment Day Experience
On the day of your PRP hair restoration at Aestique Medispa, here is how the process usually unfolds.
Step 1: Check In And Prep
You arrive at one of Aestique’s convenient locations in Greensburg, Pittsburgh, or Wexford and check in with the front desk team. Your provider may quickly review your medical history, answer last minute questions, and make sure there have been no recent changes in medications or health.
The scalp may be cleaned, and photos may be taken to document your starting point. This makes it easier to track your progress as new hair growth appears over the coming months.
Step 2: Simple Blood Draw
To create your personalized Natural Growth Factor Injections, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine lab test. Most patients find this part very manageable and it only takes a few minutes.
Step 3: Spinning The Blood In A Centrifuge
Your blood is then placed in a specialized centrifuge. This device spins the blood for several minutes to separate it into different layers, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and the plasma that contains the concentrated platelets.
The goal is to obtain a small volume of plasma that is densely packed with growth factors. This becomes your Natural Growth Factor Injection solution, uniquely prepared from your own blood.
Step 4: PRP Injection Into The Scalp
Once the PRP is ready, your provider injects it into specific areas of the scalp where thinning or shedding is most noticeable. The injections are placed in a pattern that evenly covers the region of concern, aiming to reach the hair follicles that need support.
Most patients describe the sensation as mild discomfort rather than true pain. Many do not need numbing, and there is typically no significant downtime after treatment. You remain awake and can talk with your provider throughout the session.
Step 5: Immediately After Treatment
Once the injections are complete, your scalp may feel a bit tender or tight. Mild redness or sensitivity at the injection sites is common and usually settles quickly. Your provider will review aftercare instructions, which may include:
- Avoiding hair coloring or chemical treatments for a few days
- Waiting to wash your hair until the next day, if recommended
- Refraining from harsh styling or excessive heat for a short time
Most people return to regular daily activities right away.
How Many PRP Sessions Will You Need?
PRP hair restoration is designed as a series of treatments rather than a single visit. At Aestique Medispa, Natural Growth Factor Injections are commonly performed in multiple sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, with periodic maintenance treatments every few months to keep follicles supported.
This schedule gives your hair follicles time to respond to the growth factors and begin producing thicker, healthier strands. Most patients notice a gradual improvement in:
- Reduced shedding
- Fuller ponytail or part line
- Increased density in previously thin areas
Because the treatment uses your own plasma, results tend to build gradually and naturally over time.
