The Biological Approach to Male Hair Loss Growth Factors.
Real Results.

Male pattern hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, affects the majority of men to some degree by their forties. The process is driven by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a derivative of testosterone that binds to receptors in genetically susceptible hair follicles and causes them to miniaturize over time. As follicles miniaturize, they produce progressively thinner, shorter hairs before eventually ceasing production entirely. The process is gradual but relentless without intervention.

PRP therapy addresses hair loss by delivering concentrated platelet-derived growth factors directly to the scalp where follicles are miniaturizing or dormant. These growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), activate the follicular stem cells responsible for the hair growth cycle, improve blood supply to the follicle, and counteract the miniaturization process at the cellular level. Dr. Akers administers PRP as a precise series of scalp injections placed at the level of the follicle, maximizing delivery to the tissue that needs it.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment Services For Men What We Provide

From targeted scalp PRP injections and combination microneedling protocols to ongoing maintenance programs for long-term results, Superior Health provides physician-administered PRP hair loss treatment for men. Explore the services below.

PRP for male pattern hair loss is administered as a series of precise intradermal injections across the scalp, targeting the areas of active thinning and recession. Dr. Akers draws a small amount of your blood, processes it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and injects the resulting PRP at the depth of the follicular unit. The entire procedure takes about 60 to 90 minutes including preparation, and most patients experience minimal discomfort with topical numbing.
Combining scalp microneedling with PRP creates a synergistic treatment that maximizes growth factor delivery and stimulation. The microneedling channels allow PRP to penetrate deeply into the scalp and reach follicles across a broader surface area than injections alone, while simultaneously creating the wound stimulus that primes the scalp tissue for regeneration. This combination is particularly effective for patients with diffuse thinning across a large scalp area.
The most significant results from PRP hair loss treatment are achieved in patients who begin treatment before follicles have miniaturized to the point of dormancy. Hair follicles that are still producing hair, even if thin or miniaturized, respond to PRP growth factor stimulation and can reverse their miniaturization. Dr. Akers strongly recommends beginning PRP treatment at the first signs of noticeable thinning rather than waiting until loss is advanced.
The crown and vertex are the most common areas of initial male pattern hair loss and respond well to targeted PRP treatment. Dr. Akers maps the distribution of thinning at consultation and concentrates PRP delivery in the areas of active miniaturization, with particular attention to the transition zone between thinning and normal hair where follicles are most responsive to growth factor stimulation.
Frontal hairline recession is one of the most visible aspects of male pattern hair loss and one that significantly impacts appearance. PRP treatment along the hairline targets the follicles in and just behind the recession zone, stimulating the miniaturizing follicles that are still present to resume normal production. Results at the hairline are meaningful but typically less dramatic than results at the crown, where follicles tend to respond more completely to PRP.
Following the initial treatment series, a maintenance program of annual or biannual PRP sessions sustains the growth factor stimulation and prevents continued miniaturization. Hair loss is a progressive condition, and maintenance treatment is essential for preserving the gains achieved during the initial series. Dr. Akers designs a maintenance schedule appropriate to your pattern of loss and your response to the initial treatment.

01 PRP Works With Your Own Biology

PRP is made from your own blood, concentrated to amplify the growth factors your platelets naturally contain. There are no synthetic chemicals, no hormonal manipulation, and no systemic side effects. The treatment works by giving your scalp's own biological healing system a concentrated signal to activate and sustain follicular function. This makes it one of the most physiologically natural approaches to hair loss available.

02 It Addresses the Follicle Directly

Oral hair loss medications like finasteride work systemically, blocking DHT conversion throughout the body with potential hormonal side effects. Topical minoxidil improves scalp blood flow but does not directly address follicular function. PRP delivers growth factors directly to the follicle, where they activate the follicular stem cells and growth phase machinery at the cellular level. This is a fundamentally more targeted intervention than systemic or surface treatments.

03 The Window for Optimal Results Is Finite

Follicles that have been dormant for many years become progressively less responsive to any intervention. PRP is most effective while follicles are still active, even if miniaturized. The difference in results between treating early-stage and late-stage hair loss is substantial. Patients who begin treatment at the first signs of thinning consistently achieve greater and more complete improvement than those who wait until recession is advanced.

The Science How PRP Stimulates
Hair Follicle Growth

PRP contains platelet concentrations three to five times higher than normal blood. When injected into the scalp, these concentrated platelets release their alpha granule contents: a mixture of growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, TGF-beta, IGF-1, and EGF. Each of these growth factors acts on specific receptors in the hair follicle and surrounding tissue to stimulate cell proliferation, improve vascularity, and activate the follicular stem cells in the bulge region of the hair follicle.

The hair growth cycle has three phases: anagen (active growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting/shedding). In androgenetic alopecia, the anagen phase shortens progressively while the telogen phase lengthens, producing thinner and shorter hairs with each cycle until the follicle stops producing hair entirely. PRP growth factors extend the anagen phase and shorten the telogen phase, shifting the proportion of active follicles in the growth phase and producing visibly thicker, more numerous hairs.

Clinical studies on PRP for androgenetic alopecia consistently demonstrate increases in hair density, hair diameter, and the proportion of follicles in the anagen phase compared to controls. Results are cumulative with each treatment session, and meaningful improvement is typically apparent after three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.

Your Treatment What to Expect
From Your PRP Series

Your PRP session begins with a blood draw from your arm, typically 30 to 60 milliliters depending on the treatment area. The blood is placed in a centrifuge and spun at a specific protocol to separate the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells and platelet-poor plasma. The resulting PRP is drawn into syringes and activated just before injection. Topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp during the preparation period.

Dr. Akers injects the PRP across the scalp in a precise pattern targeting the areas of active thinning. Most patients feel mild pressure during injection rather than significant pain with adequate numbing. The scalp may feel slightly tender for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. There is no required downtime, and patients typically return to normal activities the same day. Hair washing can resume the following morning.

The standard initial protocol is three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every six to twelve months. Most patients begin to notice reduced shedding and improved hair texture after the first two sessions. Visible new growth and increased density are typically apparent three to six months after beginning the series as the new growth cycle matures. Maximum results are seen six to twelve months after completing the initial series.
PRP is most effective for androgenetic alopecia in its early to moderate stages when follicles are still present and active, even if miniaturized. In areas where follicles have been completely absent for many years, PRP cannot stimulate growth because there are no follicles remaining to activate. Dr. Akers evaluates the stage of your hair loss at consultation and gives you an honest assessment of what PRP can realistically achieve for your specific pattern and stage of loss.
Yes, and combination approaches often produce superior results. PRP is frequently combined with topical minoxidil and, in appropriate patients, oral finasteride. Microneedling enhances PRP scalp delivery and provides additional follicular stimulation. Exosome scalp treatment can be combined with PRP for a more comprehensive growth factor and cellular reprogramming effect. Dr. Akers discusses combination options at your consultation.
PRP is exceptionally safe because it is derived from your own blood and carries no risk of allergic reaction or immune rejection. The most common side effects are mild scalp tenderness, temporary redness, and occasional small bruises at injection sites, all of which resolve within a few days. There are no systemic side effects because PRP acts locally at the injection site.
The results of PRP treatment are maintained as long as maintenance sessions continue. Hair loss is an ongoing biological process driven by DHT sensitivity in genetically susceptible follicles. PRP counteracts this process with growth factor stimulation, but the stimulation needs to be sustained. Patients who complete the initial series and maintain annual or biannual sessions consistently preserve their results. Patients who stop treatment eventually see resumed hair loss, though often at a slower rate than before treatment.
More Than One Treatment Why Stacking
Changes Everything

Think of your scalp like a garden. PRP is the water, essential, life-giving, the foundation of everything. But a garden that only gets water still struggles without the right soil preparation, targeted nutrients, and ongoing support. Our stacking protocol layers multiple proven therapies together so each one amplifies the others. The result is not just more hair. It is a scalp environment actively optimized for growth.

01 PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

The cornerstone of the protocol. Your own growth factors, concentrated and delivered directly to the follicle. PRP signals dormant follicles to reactivate, increases blood supply to the scalp, and creates the biological environment where everything else works better.

02 Microneedling

Creates thousands of micro-channels that drive PRP deeper into the dermis while triggering the scalp's own collagen response. Used in combination, microneedling significantly increases PRP absorption and extends the duration of follicle stimulation.

03 PDO Threads (for Scalp)

Ultra-fine absorbable threads placed at the scalp level stimulate collagen synthesis and increase circulation in areas where follicles have begun to miniaturize. This is particularly effective for restoring density along the hairline and crown.

04 Medications (Topical & Oral)

Finasteride, minoxidil, or prescription-strength topicals are used to address the underlying hormonal or circulatory causes of hair loss. When combined with PRP, medications reinforce the biological gains and help sustain results between treatment sessions.

05 LLLT (Low-Level Laser Therapy)

Photobiomodulation at specific wavelengths stimulates mitochondrial activity within hair follicles, increasing cellular energy and extending the anagen (growth) phase. LLLT is used between in-office sessions to keep follicles active and responsive to treatment.

Why Stacking Changes Everything
  • Single treatments address one pathway. Stacking addresses all of them simultaneously.
  • Each therapy reinforces and amplifies the others. PRP works better with microneedling; LLLT extends PRP's effect window.
  • A personalized stack means your protocol adapts to your specific loss pattern and response rate.
  • Sustained results come from sustained follicle health, not one-time intervention.

During your consultation, Dr. Akers evaluates your scalp, reviews your loss history, and builds a stacking protocol specific to you. No generic plans. No guesswork. A strategy designed around your follicles and your goals.
