PRP Hair Restoration in Cresskill, NJ
Thinning hair changes the way you see yourself in the mirror.
PRP hair restoration at GLOW by Elena Reitman MD uses your own concentrated growth factors to reactivate dormant follicles, thicken existing hair strands, and slow the progression of hair loss without surgery, scarring, or pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Reitman's experience with blood processing and injection precision makes GLOW a physician-led alternative to clinic chains offering the same treatment with less medical oversight.
What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment is a non-surgical therapy that uses growth factors concentrated from the patient's own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles and promote thicker, fuller hair growth.
A small blood draw is centrifuged to isolate the platelet-rich fraction, which is then injected directly into the scalp at areas of thinning.
GLOW by Elena Reitman MD offers PRP hair restoration for patients across Cresskill and Bergen County experiencing androgenetic alopecia, stress-related thinning, or early-stage hair loss. Because the treatment uses autologous plasma, there is no risk of allergic reaction or product rejection.
Dr. Reitman draws a small blood sample and processes it in a medical-grade centrifuge to concentrate the platelet layer. The resulting PRP contains growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, and TGF-beta that signal follicular stem cells to re-enter the active growth phase. Injected into the scalp at precise depths, these growth factors increase blood supply to the follicle, extend the anagen (growth) phase, and produce measurably thicker hair shafts over 3 to 6 months.
Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment
Uses Your Own Biology
PRP for hair restoration requires no drugs, no donor tissue, and no synthetic compounds. Your own platelet concentrate does the work. GLOW patients who want a natural approach to hair loss find PRP aligns with their treatment philosophy.
Non-Surgical with No Downtime
Each PRP hair session at GLOW takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. There are no incisions, no stitches, and no recovery period. Patients return to work and daily activities immediately after treatment.
Gradual, Measurable Results
Hair regrowth from PRP develops over months as follicles transition back to the active growth cycle. Patients typically notice reduced shedding within 4 to 6 weeks and visible new growth by 3 to 6 months. Dr. Reitman tracks progress with standardized photos at each visit.
Physician-Led Care at GLOW
Every treatment at GLOW is performed or directly overseen by Dr. Elena Reitman, an Ivy League-trained, board-certified physician with eleven years of operating room experience.
What PRP Hair Treatment Addresses
Crown Thinning
The vertex (crown) area responds well to PRP injections because dormant follicles in this region often retain the ability to reactivate when supplied with concentrated growth factors.
Receding Hairline
PRP can slow recession along the frontal hairline and stimulate finer hairs to thicken. Dr. Reitman targets the transition zone where miniaturized follicles still produce vellus hair.
Diffuse Thinning
Women and men experiencing generalized thinning across the scalp benefit from PRP's systemic follicle stimulation. Dr. Reitman maps injection sites across the entire affected area for even coverage.
Common Questions About PRP Hair Treatment
How many PRP hair sessions will I need? +
Most patients start with 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months. Dr. Reitman evaluates your hair loss pattern and progression rate during your initial consultation at GLOW.
Does PRP hair treatment hurt? +
Dr. Reitman applies a topical numbing agent to the scalp before injections. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure with occasional brief pinching. Her injection technique minimizes discomfort across the treatment area.
When will I see results from PRP hair treatment? +
Reduced shedding is typically noticed within 4 to 6 weeks. New hair growth and visible thickening develop over 3 to 6 months as follicles complete their transition back to the active growth phase.
Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration? +
Adults with early to moderate hair thinning who still have functional follicles. PRP works best when follicles are dormant rather than permanently lost. Dr. Reitman assesses your scalp during consultation to determine candidacy.
Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments? +
Yes. Dr. Reitman may recommend PRP alongside topical or oral therapies for a comprehensive approach. She coordinates your PRP protocol with your dermatologist's plan when applicable.
