What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration uses a concentration of your own platelets, drawn from a small blood sample, to deliver growth factors directly into the scalp where hair is thinning. The platelets are separated from the rest of your blood in a centrifuge, then injected into the areas of the scalp showing reduced density.
The treatment works with your biology rather than against it. Platelets naturally carry proteins that signal tissue repair and regeneration throughout the body. Concentrating them and placing them directly at the hair follicle gives those signals a much stronger, more localized presence than they would have circulating normally in the bloodstream.
At TOCC Aesthetics, Tiffany Jarrett performs every PRP hair restoration appointment personally, from the blood draw through the final injection. Nothing is delegated to an assistant.
How Does PRP Actually Stimulate Hair Growth?
PRP stimulates hair growth by delivering a concentrated dose of growth factors directly to the dermal papilla, the structure at the base of the hair follicle responsible for regulating the hair growth cycle. These growth factors, including platelet derived growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, and insulin like growth factor, signal dormant or weakened follicles to become more active.
Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2026 describes how the growth factors in PRP activate the Wnt signaling pathway, a biological mechanism directly tied to hair follicle cycling. The same review found that injecting PRP at the proper depth, between 1.5 and 2.0 millimeters to reach the hair bulb region, made a measurable difference in outcomes compared to more superficial injection.
In simple terms, the treatment prolongs the active growth phase of the hair cycle and reduces inflammation in the scalp that can otherwise interfere with healthy follicle function.
Is PRP Hair Restoration FDA Approved?
No single drug or device based treatment for hair loss other than topical minoxidil and oral finasteride currently holds FDA approval specifically for androgenetic alopecia, and PRP is no exception. PRP hair restoration is considered an off label use of an autologous blood product, meaning it uses your own blood components for a purpose not specifically reviewed and approved by the FDA for that indication.
This does not mean the treatment lacks evidence. It means the FDA approval pathway, which is built around new drugs and devices, has not been applied to this specific use of a patient's own blood. Multiple peer reviewed systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials, summarized below, support its use as a legitimate, evidence informed option discussed openly between patient and provider.
Tiffany discusses this distinction honestly with every patient at consultation, because informed consent starts with an accurate picture of where the evidence actually stands.
What Does the Clinical Research Actually Show?
The clinical evidence for PRP in androgenetic alopecia is described by recent reviewers as moderate but consistently positive. A 2026 systematic review and meta analysis covering 43 randomized controlled trials and 1,877 participants found that activated PRP was effective at increasing hair density and reducing recurrence compared with placebo.
A separate 2025 meta analysis comparing PRP directly against topical minoxidil, the FDA approved first line treatment, found no statistically significant difference between the two in improving hair density, positioning PRP as a comparable alternative or a complementary addition rather than a replacement for established care.
Researchers are consistent on one point: protocols vary considerably between studies and providers, and platelet concentration, activation method, and injection depth all influence outcomes. This is part of why the skill and consistency of the provider performing the treatment matters as much as the treatment itself.

BENEFITS
- Uses your own blood, so there is no risk of an allergic reaction to a foreign substance or synthetic filler material.
- Targets the biological hair growth cycle directly rather than masking thinning with styling or topical coverage products.
- Works well as a complement to other approaches, including topical minoxidil, for patients who want to address hair loss from more than one angle.
- Requires no incisions and no significant downtime, unlike surgical hair restoration options.
- Each session takes well under an hour, making it realistic to fit around a normal Boynton Beach work week.
- Performed personally by Tiffany Jarrett at every visit, with consistent technique and injection depth across your treatment series.

WHAT TO EXPECT
- Your first visit starts with a thorough consultation where Tiffany examines your scalp, discusses your history of hair thinning, and determines whether PRP is an appropriate fit alongside any other treatments you may already be using.
- On treatment day, a small blood sample is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine lab draw. The sample is then processed in a centrifuge for several minutes to separate and concentrate the platelet rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
- The concentrated PRP is then injected directly into the scalp at the areas of thinning, using a fine needle at a precise, consistent depth. Most patients describe mild discomfort similar to a series of small pinches. The full appointment typically takes 45 minutes to an hour from blood draw to finish.
- Mild redness, tenderness, or minor swelling at the injection sites is common for the first day or two and resolves on its own. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
- A typical treatment series involves multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, followed by periodic maintenance sessions. Tiffany sets a specific schedule based on your scalp's response, since protocols are not one size fits all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a PRP provider near me in Boynton Beach who performs the treatment personally?
Yes. Tiffany Jarrett performs every PRP hair restoration appointment personally at TOCC Aesthetics in Boynton Beach, from the blood draw through the final scalp injection. The practice serves patients throughout Palm Beach County, including Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and Lake Worth, and nothing in the process is delegated to an assistant.
Does PRP hair restoration hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a series of small pinches rather than significant pain. A topical numbing approach can be discussed at consultation for patients with lower pain tolerance. Discomfort during the injections is typically brief, and any soreness afterward is usually mild and resolves within a day or two.
How much does PRP hair restoration cost in Boynton Beach?
Pricing depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions recommended in your plan. Tiffany provides transparent, individualized pricing at your consultation after evaluating your scalp and hair loss pattern, with no pressure to commit to a package before you are ready.
How many PRP sessions will I need to see results?
Most treatment plans involve an initial series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions roughly every 4 to 6 months. Your exact schedule depends on how your scalp responds, which Tiffany monitors and adjusts throughout your plan.
When will I actually see new hair growth?
Most patients begin noticing reduced shedding and early improvement around 3 months into treatment, with more visible density changes typically apparent by month 6. Hair growth is a slow biological process, and PRP works with that timeline rather than around it.
Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments?
Yes. PRP is commonly used alongside topical minoxidil or microneedling, and research suggests combining approaches can improve outcomes compared to any single treatment alone. Tiffany will discuss whether combination therapy makes sense for your specific situation at your consultation.
Is PRP hair restoration safe?
PRP carries a favorable safety profile because it uses your own blood components rather than a synthetic or donor based product, which removes the risk of an allergic or rejection reaction. Reported side effects across clinical studies are generally described as mild and transient, most commonly localized pain or temporary swelling at the injection site.
