Signature Hair Restoration's PRP Hair Treatment Services
| Treatment Type | Best For | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| PRP Hair Restoration | Early to moderate thinning | 3-4 sessions over 4-6 months |
| PRP + FUE Combination | Enhanced transplant results | Coordinated with the surgical procedure |
| PRP Maintenance Therapy | Sustaining hair density | Annual or bi-annual sessions |
Why Wilmington Patients Choose PRP Hair Treatment
Wilmington's economy centers on healthcare, professional services, and maritime commerce, with professionals throughout Porters Neck, Landfall, and the historic downtown district maintaining demanding schedules that require minimal downtime for medical procedures. For men experiencing early to moderate hair thinning who need a non-surgical solution, PRP therapy stimulates natural growth factors without interrupting professional commitments.
We serve patients from Wrightsville Beach, Mayfaire, Ogden, Carolina Beach, and surrounding coastal communities who are evaluating hair restoration options that accommodate active lifestyles. PRP sessions typically require 45-60 minutes with no recovery period, meaning Wilmington patients can schedule treatment during lunch breaks and return to work immediately after.
What makes our approach unique for coastal patients:
The combination of saltwater exposure, high humidity, and intense UV radiation along North Carolina's coast creates specific considerations for scalp health. We design PRP protocols accounting for these environmental factors, adjusting concentration levels and session timing based on how coastal conditions affect follicle health.

The PRP Treatment Process
PRP is a simple, in-office treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles. Here's what each visit looks like.
Blood Draw
A small sample of your blood is drawn, just like a routine lab test.
Centrifuge
The sample is spun down to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma.
Scalp Injection
The concentrated plasma is injected into thinning areas of the scalp.
Microneedling
Microneedling helps drive growth factors deeper for better absorption.
How PRP Treatment Works for Hair Restoration
PRP therapy leverages your body's healing mechanisms to stimulate weakening hair follicles and promote natural growth. The treatment concentrates growth factors from your own blood and delivers them directly to areas of thinning.
The PRP Treatment Process
Step 1: Blood Draw
Small blood sample collected (similar to routine lab work)
Step 2: Centrifugation
Blood is processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma from other components
Step 3: Scalp Preparation
Treatment area cleansed and mapped for precise injection placement
Step 4: PRP Injection
Concentrated growth factors are injected into targeted thinning areas
Step 5: Post-Treatment
Minimal restrictions; most patients resume all activities immediately
Expected Timeline for Results
| Timeframe | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Week 1-4 | Scalp healing; no visible changes yet |
| Month 2-3 | Improved hair texture; reduced shedding |
| Month 4-6 | New growth becomes visible; enhanced density |
| Month 6-12 | Continued improvement; full results will develop |
Key factors for optimal results:
PRP works most effectively for patients with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) who retain active but miniaturizing hair follicles. It delivers limited benefit for completely bald areas where follicles are no longer viable. During your consultation, we assess your specific hair loss pattern to determine whether PRP therapy aligns with your restoration objectives.

PRP Hair Treatment vs. Hair Transplant Surgery
Which is right for you? The answer depends on the degree of thinning, your goals, and your timeline.
| Factor | PRP Hair Treatment | FUE Hair Transplant |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Early to moderate thinning; density improvement | Advanced hair loss; receding hairlines; bald areas |
| Invasiveness | Minimally invasive injections | Surgical extraction and placement |
| Downtime | None; return to work same day | 5-7 days social downtime |
| Results Timeline | 4-6 months for visible improvement | 9-12 months for full growth |
| Permanence | Requires maintenance (annual treatments) | Permanent (transplanted hair grows for life) |
| Cost | $600-$1,200 per session (typically 3-4 sessions) | $4,000-$15,000+ depending on graft count |
The combination approach:
Many Wilmington patients achieve superior results by combining both treatments. PRP can be administered during or after FUE transplantation to enhance graft survival, accelerate healing, and improve overall hair density in non-transplanted areas.
What to Expect During Your Wilmington PRP Consultation
This isn't a sales conversation — it's a technical assessment conducted by a team that has evaluated thousands of hair restoration candidates.
Scalp examination and hair loss pattern analysis: We assess follicle miniaturization, scalp health, and the degree of thinning
Medical history review: Certain conditions affect PRP candidacy (blood disorders, scalp infections, specific medications)
Realistic outcome discussion: We show before/after examples of similar cases and establish honest expectations
Customized treatment protocol: Number of sessions, injection patterns, and timeline tailored to your objectives
Transparent pricing: Complete cost breakdown with no hidden fees or surprise charges
What disqualifies patients from PRP:
Active scalp infections, blood platelet disorders, certain autoimmune conditions, or completely dormant follicles (areas that have been bald for many years). If PRP isn't appropriate for you, we can discuss alternative approaches, including FUE transplantation.

Why Coastal Patients Choose Signature Hair Restoration for PRP Therapy
30+ Years of Combined Team Experience
Greg Koher trained under his father, renowned hair transplant pioneer Dr. Grant Koher, bringing generational knowledge of follicle biology and scalp health to every PRP protocol.
Surgical-Level Precision for Non-Surgical Treatment
Unlike med spas or general dermatology offices offering PRP as an add-on service, we specialize exclusively in hair restoration with precise injection techniques and optimal platelet-concentration protocols.
Understanding of Coastal Environmental Factors
Wilmington's saltwater exposure, humidity levels, and UV intensity affect scalp health differently than inland environments. We account for these variables when designing PRP protocols for patients on the coast.
Same Team Has Performed 20,000+ Procedures
Whether you start with PRP therapy or eventually transition to surgical restoration, you're working with a team that has encountered virtually every hair loss scenario and pattern.
Honest Assessment of What PRP Can and Can't Achieve
We won't recommend PRP therapy if surgical transplantation is the more appropriate solution. Our goal is optimal results, not maximizing treatment sessions.
PRP Treatment Protocols We Offer
Not all PRP protocols are identical. We customize concentration levels, injection depth, and session frequency based on your hair loss pattern and restoration objectives.
Standard PRP Protocol for Hair Restoration
- 3-4 initial treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart
- Maintenance sessions every 6-12 months to sustain results
- Best for: Generalized thinning across the crown and mid-scalp
High-Concentration PRP for Advanced Thinning
- Enhanced platelet concentration for more aggressive stimulation
- 4-5 initial sessions with tighter spacing (3-4 weeks)
- Best for: Significant miniaturization where follicles are weakening but still viable
PRP + Microneedling Combination
- Combines PRP injection with controlled micro-injuries to enhance absorption
- Creates an additional wound-healing response
- Best for: Patients seeking maximum stimulation of dormant follicles
Post-Transplant PRP Enhancement
- Administered during FUE surgery and at follow-up intervals
- Enhances graft survival rates and accelerates visible growth
- Best for: Surgical patients investing in optimal outcomes
