Treatments include oral prescription medications and custom topical prescription-strength medications based on a comprehensive evaluation of the cause of hair loss.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person's blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp. PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing the hair follicle's blood supply and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss treatments or medications. Many insurance plans consider PRP for hair loss treatment to be cosmetic and don't cover any of it"s costs. $999
