Real Hair Regrowth, Without Surgery or Daily Pills
If you have noticed more hair in the brush, or a widening part that catches the light differently, you are not alone. PRP hair restoration uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate dormant follicles — no surgery, no synthetic chemicals. At Desert Bloom Skincare in Scottsdale, Dr. Natalya Borakowski, NMD provides PRP hair treatment with a naturopathic approach that looks at why your hair is thinning — not just how to inject it.
PRP is one option within Desert Bloom’s hair rejuvenation category. If your situation calls for a different starting point, Dr. Borakowski will say so directly at consultation.
Mechanism
What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure that harnesses your body’s own healing biology to treat hair loss. The process involves drawing a small blood sample, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets 2–6 times above baseline, and injecting the enriched plasma directly into thinning areas of the scalp.
The concentrated platelets release growth factors — including PDGF, VEGF, and IGF-1 — that stimulate dormant hair follicles, promote new blood vessel formation, and prolong the anagen (active growth) phase. PRP therapy reactivates follicles that have entered the resting phase, encouraging natural hair regrowth while strengthening existing hair shafts that are still active.
How the PRP Procedure Works
The procedure takes about 60–90 minutes and requires minimal downtime.
Procedure
- Blood draw — 20–60 mL collected from your arm, similar to a routine lab draw
- Centrifuge processing — blood is spun to separate and concentrate platelets at 2–6× whole-blood baseline
- Scalp injection — activated PRP is injected across thinning and balding areas using a 30-gauge needle
- Topical anesthetic is applied before injection; most patients describe mild pressure
- Minor redness at the injection site typically resolves within 24–72 hours
