Non-Surgical, Natural Hair Regrowth at The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center
Hair loss is one of the most common cosmetic concerns for both men and women. Whether caused by genetics, hormones, stress, or aging, it can leave you feeling self-conscious and frustrated. But you don’t have to accept thinning hair as inevitable.
At The Dermatology, Laser & Vein Center in Cincinnati, Ohio, we proudly offer Plasma Protein Hair Restoration Therapy—a revolutionary, regenerative medicine treatment that leverages your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, enhance thickness, and restore hair vitality. Backed by science and loved by patients, Plasma Protein Therapy is a non-surgical option that promotes long-lasting, natural results.
What is Plasma Protein Hair Restoration?
Plasma Protein Hair Restoration is a cutting-edge procedure that uses the regenerative components in your own blood to trigger hair growth at the follicular level.
Here’s how it works:
A small amount of your blood is drawn. It’s spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma rich in healing proteins and platelets. This golden-colored plasma is then injected into areas of hair thinning or loss.
The plasma contains powerful growth factors that reawaken dormant hair follicles, improve scalp health, and increase the blood supply to the follicles, encouraging them to grow thicker, fuller hair over time.
Unlike artificial treatments or surgical implants, Plasma Protein Therapy stimulates your body’s own ability to regrow hair, offering a natural, safe, and effective approach to reversing hair thinning.
How Plasma Protein Therapy Works: The Biology of Hair Regeneration
Hair growth follows a natural cycle consisting of the anagen (growth), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) phases. When the hair follicle becomes damaged or dormant due to factors like aging or hormonal shifts, it spends more time in the resting phase and less in the active growth phase.
Plasma Protein Therapy targets this imbalance by infusing the scalp with bioactive compounds, including:
-
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Promotes the growth of blood vessels and cells.
-
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Improves blood flow to the follicles.
-
Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Stimulates tissue repair and regeneration.
-
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Enhances the health of skin and hair follicle cells.
These components revive weak hair follicles, restore optimal conditions for growth, and extend the anagen phase, allowing hair to grow thicker, healthier, and stronger.
What Hair Conditions Can Plasma Protein Therapy Treat?
Plasma Protein Therapy has shown to be highly effective for a wide range of hair concerns, including:
-
Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and Female Pattern Baldness)
-
Telogen Effluvium (stress-induced or illness-related hair shedding)
-
Postpartum Hair Loss
-
Thinning Hair Due to Aging
-
Hair Transplant Recovery and Maintenance
-
Alopecia Areata (in selected cases)
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Plasma Protein Hair Therapy?
While Plasma Protein Therapy is safe for most people, the best candidates typically include:
-
Men and women in the early-to-moderate stages of hair loss
-
Those with intact but weakened follicles
-
Patients who prefer natural, non-surgical treatments
-
Individuals who cannot tolerate oral or topical medications
-
Those recovering from hair transplant surgery
-
Patients looking to enhance the results of other hair loss treatments
However, patients with advanced baldness, complete follicle loss, or certain underlying medical conditions may not see the same benefits. A comprehensive consultation at our Cincinnati clinic will determine your candidacy.

How Often Should You Get Plasma Protein for Hair Restoration?
Most patients benefit from a series of initial treatments, followed by maintenance sessions:
-
Initial Series: 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
-
Maintenance: 1 treatment every 4–6 months thereafter
Improvements in hair density, texture, and growth generally begin to show within the first 3 months, with more significant changes by month 6 to 9.
Consistency and ongoing care are crucial for long-lasting outcomes, especially in progressive hair loss conditions.
Plasma Protein Therapy vs. Other Hair Loss Treatments
| Treatment | Invasiveness | Natural | Side Effects | Downtime | Effectiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plasma Protein | Minimally invasive | ✅ Yes | Minimal | None | ✅ High (early-stage) |
| Hair Transplant | Surgical | ❌ No | Moderate | 1-2 weeks | ✅✅ High |
| Minoxidil (Topical) | Non-invasive | ❌ No | Skin irritation | None | Moderate |
| Finasteride (Oral) | Non-invasive | ❌ No | Hormonal side effects | None | Moderate to high |

Plasma Protein Therapy offers the best of both worlds—natural healing without the surgical downtime or synthetic side effects.
Cost of Plasma Protein Hair Restoration in Cincinnati
The cost of Plasma Protein Therapy can vary depending on:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is Plasma Protein the same as Plasma Protein Therapy?
Yes. Plasma Protein Therapy is another term for Plasma Protein (Platelet-Rich Plasma) used in hair restoration. It emphasizes the role of plasma proteins in the healing and regeneration process.
2. Does it really work for hair loss?
Yes. Numerous clinical studies have shown Plasma Protein to be effective in improving hair thickness, increasing hair count, and slowing hair loss in both men and women with androgenetic alopecia.
3. Is the treatment painful?
The procedure involves small injections, which most patients tolerate well. Numbing cream or local anesthesia is often used to minimize discomfort.
4. How soon will I see results?
Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 6 months. You may first notice reduced hair shedding, followed by new hair growth and improved thickness.
5. How long do the results last?
With proper maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months, results can be long-lasting. However, since genetic hair loss is progressive, ongoing therapy may be required.
6. Is there any downtime?
No. Most patients return to work or regular activities immediately after the treatment.
7. Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal and may include mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. Serious side effects are rare due to the autologous (your own body) nature of the treatment.
8. Is it safe?
Absolutely. Plasma Protein Therapy is considered very safe since it uses your own blood, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or infections.
9. Can I use Plasma Protein if I’ve had a hair transplant?
Yes, Plasma Protein can be used to support transplanted follicles, enhance graft survival, and improve overall healing.
10. Will my hair fall out after the treatment?
Some patients experience temporary “shock loss” after the first session, where weak hairs shed to make room for stronger regrowth. This is typically temporary.
11. Is Plasma Protein effective for women?
Yes. Plasma Protein is a fantastic non-surgical option for women dealing with postpartum hair loss, hormonal hair thinning, or other causes of hair loss.
12. Can I wash my hair after the treatment?
Wait at least 8–12 hours before washing your hair to allow the Plasma Protein to fully absorb into the scalp.
13. Do I need to stop any medications before treatment?
Certain medications like blood thinners may need to be paused. This will be discussed during your consultation.
14. Will insurance cover the cost?
No. Plasma Protein for hair restoration is considered an elective cosmetic treatment and is not covered by insurance.
15. Can Plasma Protein treat alopecia areata?
Plasma Protein may help some cases of alopecia areata, but success rates can vary. Your provider will determine suitability during your evaluation.
16. How long does a treatment session take?
Each session typically takes 45 to 60 minutes, including the preparation and injection process.
17. Can I combine Plasma Protein Treatment with microneedling?
Yes! Plasma Protein with microneedling creates microchannels in the scalp, allowing deeper penetration of plasma growth factors. This can enhance results in certain cases.
18. Is there a risk of infection?
Because the procedure is autologous (uses your own blood), the risk of infection or adverse reaction is extremely low. We follow strict medical protocols to ensure safety.
19. What should I avoid before and after treatment?
Avoid alcohol, smoking, blood thinners, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 48 hours before and after treatment for best results.
20. Can I dye or chemically treat my hair after Plasma Protein Treatment?
It’s best to wait 3–5 days before using harsh chemicals or dyes. This ensures the scalp fully benefits from the plasma.
