PRP Hair Restoration in Teaneck, NJ
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to help address hair thinning and early-stage hair loss. At Xthetics Med Spa in Teaneck, NJ, PRP therapy is designed to support existing hair follicles and may improve hair density in selected patients. The treatment involves drawing a small blood sample, separating the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into targeted areas of the scalp.
Each PRP treatment plan is tailored to your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, medical history, and individual goals. That may mean addressing early male or female pattern hair loss, reducing visible thinning, or combining PRP with established hair loss treatments when appropriate. Treatment typically involves a series of sessions, followed by maintenance appointments depending on your response. Results develop gradually and vary between patients.
PRP treatment care at Xthetics Med Spa is overseen by Leticia Camacho, DMSc, PA-C, under the medical supervision of Richard Gajdowski, MD.
Xthetics Med Spa is located at 185 Cedar Lane L1 in Teaneck, NJ, and welcomes patients from Englewood, Hackensack, Bergenfield, Fort Lee, Leonia, and communities across Bergen County.

What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration uses a concentrated portion of your own blood to deliver platelets and their associated growth factors to areas of thinning hair. A small blood sample is collected and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The prepared PRP is then injected into selected areas of the scalp.
Platelets contain growth factors involved in tissue repair and cellular signaling. When injected into the scalp, PRP may support hair follicle activity and improve hair density in some patients with androgenetic alopecia, also known as pattern hair loss. However, the exact mechanisms and long-term effectiveness remain under investigation.
PRP is not FDA-approved to treat hair loss. PRP is generally considered an adjunctive treatment rather than a replacement for established hair loss medications.

-
PRP Scalp Injections: Platelet-rich plasma is injected into targeted areas of the scalp to address thinning hair and support existing follicles.
-
PRP for Male Pattern Hair Loss: May help improve hair density in men with early androgenetic alopecia, particularly in areas where active hair follicles remain.

What is PRP?
PRP is a compound created from your own blood to develop a healing treatment that erases wrinkles, improves skin elasticity, and boosts overall tissue health.
PRP concentrates a sample of your blood to vastly increase the platelet count. Platelets are a natural part of your blood that allow for clotting at wounds, but platelets also contact numerous proteins and other compounds that speed healing and encourage healthy tissue development throughout your body.
To create PRP, your technician takes a routine sample of blood from a vein in your arm. They spin this sample down in a high-speed centrifuge to concentrate the liquid part of the blood and the platelets. The PRP is then injected back into your body or applied during microneedling in a technique sometimes called a vampire facial.
Is PRP safe?
PRP has a strong safety record, because it’s made from your own blood with nothing synthetic added. Side effects are mild and short-lived, usually some tenderness, redness or swelling at the treatment area for a day or two. Every treatment at Xthetics is performed by Leticia Camacho, DMSc, PA-C, in a sterile medical setting under the oversight of our medical director, Richard Gajdowski, MD.
Does PRP really work for hair loss?
Yes. PRP is one of the most popular non-surgical treatments for thinning hair, and research supports it. The American Academy of Dermatology says studies show PRP can be a safe and effective treatment for hair loss, and clinical trials have found denser hair with PRP than with placebo. It works best when you start early, while your hair follicles are still active. The sooner you begin, the more of your hair you can protect.
When will I see results from PRP?
Many patients notice less shedding within the first few months. Fuller, thicker-looking hair builds over 3 to 6 months. Regular maintenance sessions keep those results going.
Is PRP natural?
Yes, and that’s what patients love about it. We draw a small amount of your blood, concentrate your platelets in a centrifuge and return them to your scalp or skin. Your body’s own growth factors do the work, with no synthetic fillers or chemicals.
Am I a good candidate for PRP?
PRP is a great fit for men and women in the early stages of hair thinning, such as a widening part, a receding hairline or thinning at the crown. It’s ideal if you want a natural, non-surgical option. At your consultation, we’ll review your health history to make sure PRP is right for you and build a plan around your goals.
How does PRP fight facial wrinkles?
PRP provides anti-aging benefits when applied to your skin. Your technician may apply the PRP through facial injections or add it to your microneedling procedure.
The numerous growth factors in PRP encourage collagen production in treated areas. Collagen is a powerful protein that your body produces to boost skin health. As you age, collagen production declines, but PRP can revitalize it.
PRP injections help fill in lines around your eyes, mouth, and nose. After treatment, you notice tighter, plumper skin and a reduction in visible facial lines.
Because PRP is made from your cells, there is no risk of rejection or reaction as there might be to other products.
How does microneedling with PRP work?
Microneedling is a procedure that uses the SkinPen®, a handheld device affixed with tiny needles, to make micro wounds on the surface of your skin. Your body senses these wounds and rushes in healing compounds that essentially rebuild collagen and boost the look of your complexion.
Adding PRP to the microneedling process means you get even more healing benefits. Plus, the PRP can reach deeply below your skin’s surface as it seeps in through the microscopic needle pricks in your skin.
