Vampire Hair Restoration®
For men and women alike, hair loss can be devastating. Often our hair stands as a form of aesthetic expression with the different ways we can style our hair. A great haircut can give us a boost in confidence or cause us to feel sad or stressed over a bad haircut. Similarly, thinning hair or early hair loss can cause low self-esteem or embarrassment if it is left untreated. Whether hair loss is caused by aging, disease, genetics, stress, or hormonal imbalance millions of people are searching for a solution. Vampire Hair Restoration® is a procedure using platelets, from your own blood, to stimulate hair growth as a permanent, effective and organic solution.
How Does Vampire Hair Restoration® Work?
This procedure injects Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) into the scalp to encourage hair growth. To start a small blood sample will be taken and then processed through a centrifuge system to separate out the PRP, which is then administered through a series of injections over the full scalp. PRP is loaded with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth. The body reacts to the treated cells as it does to a wound and immediately starts repairing the tissue. This builds the underlying tissue with tightening, smoothing, and increased blood flow that makes hair regrow.
Does the Vampire Hair Restoration® treatment hurt?
The procedure is well tolerated, however there may be a slight pinching sensation or feeling of pressure felt in some areas more than others. A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to the injections if requested, however most will find this isn’t needed.
Will this treatment require any downtime or have any side effects?
Normal activities can resume right after treatment, although it is recommended to not wash hair until the next day. There can be mild tenderness to the treated area, which can be managed with Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Some minor swelling of the forehead can occasionally be seen 1-2 days after injections, this is normal and will resolve in 48 hours.

How long will my results last?
The results of this treatment should last at least one to two years, but results may vary. Research to document the longevity of results is ongoing.
Who are good candidates for Vampire Hair Restoration®?
- Male Pattern Hair Loss – especially in the early stages of balding, or anytime there is a lot of miniaturized hair on the scalp
- Female Pattern Hair Loss – at all stages of hair loss
- Hypotrichosis (fine/reduced hairs) of the eyebrows or beard
- Alopecia Areata, Alopecia Totalis
- Metabolic causes of hair loss – iron deficiency and medication-induced hair loss
Does it work for everyone?
Though PRP treatment yields great results for people suffering from hair loss, it’s not for everyone. People who have lost all hair cannot undergo this treatment. This is because it does not help grow new hair on a bald patch. It can only make the existing thinning hair thicker by strengthening the hair follicles.
Things you should know?
- If you have concerns about pain, we can apply a numbing agent to the treatment area for added comfort.
- Your scalp may experience sensitivity for about a day following the treatment but should decrease quickly.
- We recommend one monthly treatment for up to three months for ideal results for men. Women may only need one treatment.
- For long-lasting results, schedule a follow-up treatment every 6 to 12 months.
