What Is Hair Restoration with PRP?
Both men and women face the challenge of hair thinning due to various factors, such as aging, genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, underlying health issues, or the use of certain hair products and styling habits. In the realm of modern medicine, innovative methods are being adopted by providers to address this issue. One such method is platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a noninvasive treatment that has demonstrated efficacy in slowing, halting, or even reversing hair loss patterns in both men and women, including conditions like alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and diminishing eyebrows. At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, our team proudly offers this cutting-edge, research-backed therapy to patients in and around West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA. Contact us to arrange a consultation, and explore how we can assist you with your hair restoration needs.
How Does Hair Restoration with PRP Work?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves a process where a small sample of your blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate its components. This results in a mixture of your own blood platelets and plasma, enriched with a nutrient-dense solution, which is then reinjected into your skin. This procedure aims to promote healing and rejuvenation with the platelets working to rejuvenate diminished hair follicles, encouraging them to grow thicker, healthier hair. The recovery time for this treatment is brief and typically involves only minor discomfort. Some patients might experience temporary skin discoloration, slight swelling, or a mild ache at the injection site. These side effects generally disappear within 48 hours. Should these symptoms continue beyond this period, we recommend contacting our office for assistance.
What to Expect After Hair Restoration with PRP
Following your PRP hair restoration in West Palmdale, CA, you may notice mild redness or tenderness at the injection sites, but downtime is minimal. Any sensitivity usually fades within a few days, and most patients resume normal activities right away. New hair growth develops gradually over the next few months, with thicker, fuller results becoming more noticeable as your follicles respond to treatment.

- No need for chemicals or medications

Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa Reviews
I was referred to Sandhu Dermatology by my primary care doctor at Kaiser. He certainly knows what he is doing. The doctor and staff are very professional and know exactly how to put you at ease. My procedure was virtuously pain free, and the doctor happily answered any questions I had. I highly recommend them.
Dr Harika Sandhu is the Best she definitely follows her father’s footsteps 👍🙏. She is very friendly and explains treatment thoroughly. I have been 100 % satisfied with my treatments and my doctor. The staff is welcoming and friendly as well , the facility is top notch . 👍
My husband and I both use this dermatologist and it’s spectacular! The staff are knowledgeable, courteous, extremely patient, great listeners, and treat each patient with kindness and compassion. The doctors are excellent , have a wealth of experience and training in the field of dermatology . When we go there we feel that it’s not just a service being provided but they genuinely care. They are very sensitive to patients like me who are a bit nervous with some procedures. My husband also loves the care he receives. I recommend anyone who is looking for outstanding , client focused, outstanding professional care. Kudos to the staff and doctors!Jay Reed
ok, here's a 4 star review for Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa in Acton, CA.was really happy with my facial and extractions, my skin looks and feels great after. the spa part of the facility is really nicely done, super relaxing while i waited. my esthetician was knowledgeable and listened to what i wanted, no pushy sales either. only thing is they were running about 15 minutes behind my appointment which is a bit annoying. id still go back for a maintenance visit for sure.
I am so happy that I went to Shandu Dermatology!Dr Harika Shandu is an excellent surgeon with outstanding attention to detail. Her stitchwork is so beautiful that it reminds me of fine embroidery on a silk cloth. She's that good!I had what looked like two pimples on my back, but they were just the tip of the iceberg. I heard a "snip snip" , it felt like a haircut, and when she was done, a non-cancerous cyst - the size of my thumb! - was removed from my back and placed in a medical jar. I was shocked! I had no idea!The second cyst was the size of a marble, and a third cyst, located on my left forearm, which I thought was a weird looking mole, but no, no, no - it was a cyst the size of a 1-inch ball bearing! My jaw dropped in disbelief.Because Dr Hakita Shandu did such an excellent job sewing me up, my wounds have closed completely now and there is no scarring. There is still some discoloration around the wounds, but I plan on buying the Post Care Silicone Gel when I go back next week for a follow-up appointment.I’m also seriously considering the monthly subscription for a hydro facial. It sounds wonderful and very relaxing.Dr Hakita Shandu is a very nice person with a gentle touch. I would strongly recommend Shandu Dermatology for any skin care needs. The entire staff is very nice, and they made me feel very much at ease. It’s like the tv show Cheers! - “where everyone knows your name”Thank you very much, Dr Hakita Shandu! You're the best!Morris Lee FeasterPalmdale, CA
