Hair Restoration
A widening part or a receding hairline can quietly wear on your confidence. Our dermatologists create restoration plans using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and other proven treatments to help you hold onto the hair you have and support new hair growth.
Why Choose Hair Restoration
Hair restoration at Anne Arundel Dermatology centers on treating the cause, not just the symptom. Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is one of our most requested treatment options: it uses growth factors drawn from your own blood to wake up follicles that have slowed down or gone dormant, encouraging thicker, healthier growth over time.
Because hair loss can stem from genetics, hormones, stress, or scalp conditions, PRP is often paired with other therapies for a more complete approach. Our dermatologists will evaluate your specific pattern of thinning before recommending the combination that best aligns with your goals, whether you’re a man noticing a receding hairline or a woman dealing with thinning at the part.

Your Experience With Hair Restoration
PRP works with your body’s own timeline. Growth factors reactivate follicles over time, so there’s rarely a dramatic before-and-after moment. Instead, most of our patients report seeing less hair in the shower drain or on their pillow before they notice new growth coming in.
Results build slowly, so PRP is typically done as a treatment series, often with three to six sessions spaced several weeks apart. You may also need occasional maintenance visits to uphold your progress.

Your Hair Restoration Questions, Answered
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, uses growth factors drawn from your blood to stimulate hair follicles for healthier, thicker growth.
Yes, PRP is commonly used for pattern thinning in men and women, and research reports improvements in density and thickness for both.
Our patients often describe brief pinching or mild stinging during the injection process, but any discomfort usually passes quickly.
Most treatment plans start with three to six sessions that are several weeks apart. You may need additional maintenance visits every six to 12 months to sustain your results.
Many patients notice less shedding within the first few months. You can expect fuller, thicker-looking hair to become more apparent at around the three- to six-month stage.
PRP tends to work best for early to moderate thinning where hair follicles remain active. It may be less effective in areas of long-term, complete hair loss. Your dermatologist will confirm whether it’s the right fit for you during a consultation.
Your dermatologist may also recommend topical or oral medications, laser therapy, medical-grade skincare, corticosteroid injections, or medicated shampoos either instead of or alongside PRP.
Very little. Most of our patients return to their normal routines the same day. You may have mild, short-lived tenderness at the injection sites.
The best way to know for sure is a consultation. Your dermatologist will evaluate your hair loss pattern, medical history, and regrowth goals to determine whether PRP, another treatment, or a combination approach makes the most sense for you.
