How It Works
Hair Restoration with Platelet Rich Plasma Newport Beach utilizes Platelet-rich plasma aka PRP for hair loss. It is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a person’s own regenerative healing properties found within components of their blood to promote hair growth. PRP injections are rich in proteins called growth factors, which stimulate dormant hair follicles when injected into the scalp, encouraging hair regeneration and new hair growth.
When combined with medications like Minoxidil or Finasteride and/or SkinPen microneedling, patients can note improved outcomes when compared to PRP injections alone.

Frequently asked questions
Who is and who is not a good candidate?
Patients experiencing hair thinning, weakened hair follicles, or scalp issues like dryness and dandruff and who are in generally good health are good candidates for hair restoration treatments. These treatments are appropriate for both men and women seeking hair growth and improved scalp health.
Individuals who are not a good candidate for medication assisted treatment with minoxidil or finasteride are patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, patients with a history of arrhythmias, select cardiac conditions, kidney disease, liver disease, or scalp conditions (such as eczema, infection, cuts). An in-person consultation can provide you with an accurate recommendation.
When will I see the results and how long do the results last?
The outcomes of hair restoration treatments including SkinPen microneedling, PRP injections, and medication assisted treatment with Minoxidil and/or Finasteride will vary depending on individual factors. These include lifestyle habits, genetic factors, the type of hair loss occurring, and the number of treatment sessions performed.
Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve and maintain optimal results, with outcomes lasting several months to a year or longer.
What are potential side effects?
Hair Restoration treatments with PRP injections and/or SkinPen typically involve little to no downtime, with patients experiencing mild discomfort at the treatment site or temporary redness that typically last 24-48 hours.
Side effects of medication assisted treatment with Minoxidil and Finasteride may include but are not limited to dizziness, Fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting, and or skin reactions. It is imperative to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimize potential side effects.
What should I expect and or avoid after treatment?
After microneedling and PRP injections for hair restoration, it’s important to follow certain precautions to optimize the results and minimize any potential complications. Here are some things you should avoid:
-
-
- Direct Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight for at least a few days following the procedure. Sun exposure can increase the risk of inflammation and irritation, which may interfere with the healing process.
- Intense Exercise: Strenuous physical activity should be avoided for at least 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. Vigorous exercise can increase blood flow to the scalp and may cause irritation or discomfort.
- Swimming or Saunas: Avoid swimming in chlorinated pools or using saunas for a few days after microneedling and PRP injections. Chlorine and heat can irritate the skin and scalp, delaying the healing process.
- Harsh Hair Products: Refrain from using harsh hair products, such as hair dyes or chemical treatments, for at least a week following the procedure. These products can irritate the scalp and may interfere with the healing process.
- Scratching or Picking: Avoid scratching or picking at the treated area, as this can increase the risk of infection and may interfere with the healing process.
- Touching the Treated Area: Try to avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily, as this can introduce bacteria and increase the risk of infection.
- Skipping Post-Procedural Care: Follow any post-procedure instructions provided by your healthcare provider carefully. This may include using specific skincare products or avoiding certain activities to promote healing and optimize results.

By following these guidelines, you can help ensure a smooth recovery and maximize the benefits of microneedling and PRP injections for hair restoration. If you have any concerns or questions, be sure to consult with your healthcare provider at E&G Aesthetic Institute for personalized advice.

Hair restoration treatments for men at E&G Aesthetic Institute combine Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy with medications like minoxidil and finasteride to combat hair loss and promote regrowth. PRP therapy involves extracting a patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and improving the overall health of existing follicles.
Minoxidil, a topical solution applied directly to the scalp, works by widening blood vessels, increasing blood flow, and stimulating hair follicles to produce thicker, longer hair. It’s typically used in conjunction with PRP therapy to enhance its effectiveness.
Finasteride, an oral medication, works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps slow down hair loss and may even promote regrowth in some cases.
