What it is
Hair restoration at Mia Piel uses non-surgical treatments to support the scalp and existing hair follicles. Options include PRF and PRP, prepared from your own blood and injected into the scalp, and microneedling of the scalp.
Treatment is directed at areas of thinning, such as the hairline, temples and crown. Because hair grows in cycles, changes develop gradually, and results depend on the cause of the hair loss and on having viable follicles.
Concerns it treats
Treatment areas
- Hairline
- Temples
- Crown
- Scalp
Options
Hair PRP injections
Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, rich in growth factors, injected into thinning areas to support the follicles.
Hair PRF injections
Platelet-rich fibrin, which forms a matrix that releases growth factors gradually into the scalp.
Scalp microneedling with Pro Pen
Controlled micro-injuries in the scalp that stimulate blood flow and collagen around the follicles.
Who it may suit
- Adults with early or moderate hair thinning
- People with pattern hair loss who still have viable follicles
- Anyone looking for a non-surgical option before, or alongside, other treatments
Why patients choose it
- May help reduce the look of thinning, especially when started early
- Supports the environment around existing hair follicles
- May improve the look of hair density and thickness
- Customized to your pattern of hair loss and your goals
- Minimally invasive, with gradual, natural-looking change
- Can be combined with other hair restoration approaches when appropriate
What to consider
- Results take time, since they follow the hair growth cycle
- A series of sessions and maintenance may be recommended
- Redness, swelling, tenderness or scalp sensitivity may occur
- Benefit is limited where follicles are no longer viable
- An evaluation is needed to find the cause of hair loss and the right approach
- Not every type of hair loss responds the same way; evidence for PRP is emerging and for PRF is more limited
Before your visit
- Avoid hair dye, relaxers and other chemical treatments for a week
- Avoid alcohol for 24 to 48 hours

Frequently asked questions
What types of hair loss can it help with?
It may help with certain types of thinning, including pattern hair loss and hair loss linked to weakened follicles. An evaluation is important to find the underlying cause.
Is it the same as a hair transplant?
No. These treatments are non-surgical and aim to support existing follicles. A transplant is surgery that moves follicles from one area of the scalp to another.
Does it hurt?
You may feel pinching, pressure or sensitivity during the injections. Comfort measures can be discussed before treatment.
When will I see results?
Hair grows gradually, so results aren't immediate. Changes may become noticeable over several weeks to months.
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the cause and severity of the thinning, the treatment chosen and how you respond. You'll get a personalized plan after your evaluation.
Is it a permanent solution?
Not necessarily. The cause of the hair loss needs to be identified, and ongoing treatment or maintenance may be recommended.
What is PRP for hair?
A concentrate of your own platelets and growth factors, injected into targeted areas of the scalp to support the follicles.
What is PRF for hair?
Another treatment made from your own blood. It forms a fibrin matrix that can release growth factors gradually.
Can it make my hair thicker?
It may improve the look of density and thickness when viable follicles are present. How much varies.
Who may not be a candidate?
Certain medical conditions, active scalp infections, some advanced hair loss, pregnancy, medications or other factors can affect candidacy.
