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.
What Are the Benefits of Hair Restoration with PRP?
At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, PRP therapy for hair loss comes with a host of remarkable advantages for those aspiring to have thicker, fuller, and healthier hair, including:
- No need for chemicals or medications
- Utilizing your body's natural regenerative capabilities

Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa Reviews
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
Everyone is nice and welcoming and understanding. Michelle is so awesome, I been going to her for years. Honestly they are all amazing people
Doctors and Staff and Products are the Best in the Valley! Been a Patient well over 25yrs ! Highly recommend Dr Sandhu Dermatologist
The girls are terrified, very professional
I had my procedure today with Ashley and Dr. Sandhu, I felt NOTHING. Not even the syringe that Ashley used to numb me before the full removal of my mole. Ashley made sure I was comfortable and was able to talk me through the prep process. Dr. Sandhu was so quick with the procedure I couldn’t even think to feel anything. I am still going to get a biopsy and 6 week follow up. But I am highly satisfied with the progress. I did peak under my bandaid and I’m glad to no longer see an abnormal mole! Thank you Dr. Sandhu and team!_______________________________________________I had my first mole check-up with Dr. Sandhu and Amanda, and I was truly impressed by the entire experience. From start to finish, the appointment process was smooth and easy. Both Dr. Sandhu and Amanda were professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, which helped put me at ease right away.Unfortunately, the mole in question appeared abnormal, so I have a follow-up appointment scheduled for a shave and biopsy. While I’m definitely hoping and praying for a benign result, I feel confident knowing I’m in such capable hands.As a cash patient, I also really appreciated the clear and reasonable pricing—no surprises, just honest care. I’m very grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for attentive and thorough dermatologic care.
