PRP Scalp Treatment in Edina & Bloomington

Concerned about thinning hair, hair loss, or a receding hairline? PRP scalp treatment may be the non-surgical solution you’ve been searching for. Many people dream of restoring the full, healthy hair they once had. Hair loss can impact more than just appearance—it often affects confidence, social interactions, and emotional well-being. More than 80% of men experience male pattern baldness, and nearly 50% of women deal with female pattern thinning.

At Skin Rejuvenation Clinic in Edina & Bloomington, MN, we use advanced PRP scalp therapy to help you naturally stimulate hair regrowth. With no harsh chemicals or surgery, this treatment supports fuller, healthier-looking hair—and a more confident you. It’s not just about hair—it’s about feeling whole again.

PRP Scalp Treatment Overview

PRP scalp treatment is primarily used to stimulate dormant hair follicles and encourage natural hair regrowth. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is packed with healing components that accelerate tissue repair and cellular regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates stem cells around the hair follicles, helping to reactivate hair growth.

Growth factors—proteins essential for cell growth and healing—are found in the alpha granules of platelets. These factors are released during treatment, enhancing the scalp’s natural ability to support healthy hair growth.

This regenerative treatment taps into your body’s own healing power, offering a minimally invasive solution for thinning hair. By increasing blood flow to the follicles and thickening existing hair shafts, PRP scalp treatments improve hair density and vitality over time. It’s an ideal choice for anyone seeking fuller hair without surgery or harsh medications.

Choosing PRP Scalp Treatment

Unlike more invasive options, PRP scalp treatment requires no incisions or stitches and offers minimal downtime. Because it uses your own plasma, the procedure is both natural and low-risk. It’s a preferred option for those looking to restore hair health with subtle, yet noticeable, results.

PRP Scalp Treatment vs. Similar Procedures

Compared to pharmaceutical treatments or surgical procedures, PRP scalp treatment provides a more natural alternative. Instead of synthetic chemicals or transplant surgeries, PRP relies on your body’s own growth factors to promote hair regeneration. It minimizes downtime, eliminates the risk of scarring, and avoids the common side effects associated with hair loss medications, all while delivering fuller, healthier hair.

Benefits of PRP Scalp Treatment for Hair Loss

  • Requires no surgery or extended recovery
  • Fast, in-office procedure
  • Minimal side effects—mostly mild pressure at injection points
  • Utilizes natural healing mechanisms
  • Effective for both men and women experiencing hair thinning
  • Helps achieve fuller, thicker hair
  • Can improve the appearance of receding hairlines
  • Delivers natural-looking results without scarring
  • Avoids side effects of traditional hair loss medications

How it Works

Step 1: Consultation

Your hair restoration experience begins with a one-on-one consultation at our Edina or Bloomington location. We’ll carefully evaluate your hair loss, examine potential treatment areas, and craft a customized plan tailored specifically for you.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

Based on your scalp and hair type, your care team will recommend the PRP approach to achieve your desired results. You’ll receive a detailed explanation of the treatment process, the benefits of combining PRP with complementary treatments, and a personalized roadmap for achieving optimal results.

Step 3: Treatment

PRP treatment begins with the gentle application of a local anesthetic, ensuring maximum comfort and minimizing discomfort for the patient. While the anesthetic takes effect, a small blood sample is collected and processed in a specialized centrifuge. This step isolates and activates the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and essential growth factors vital for stimulating hair restoration.

Once the PRP is ready, it is meticulously injected just beneath the scalp’s surface using an ultra-fine needle. Our experts follow a highly precise pattern to target and treat areas with significant hair loss effectively, ensuring optimal results.

Step 4: Follow Up

We’ll guide you through a customized follow-up plan to ensure your treatment is successful. We track progress to maximize natural regrowth. After a treatment, it is normal for your scalp to feel slightly numb. However, this sensation should subside on its own within a few hours, allowing you to freely resume your normal activities.
