Your Step-by-Step Guide to Natural Hair Restoration in Southeast Michigan
Taking the first step toward hair restoration is exciting, but we understand it can also feel intimidating. At Belle Santé Medical Spa in St. Clair Shores, our clients from Sterling Heights, Harrison Township, and all over Macomb County often share that they were nervous before their first PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) appointment—only to be pleasantly surprised by how quick, comfortable, and simple the process really is.
If you’re wondering what actually happens during a PRP session, here’s everything you need to know about before, during, and after your appointment.
Before Your PRP Appointment
To get the best results and ensure a smooth session, we recommend:
- Skip Alcohol & NSAIDs: Avoid alcohol, aspirin, or anti-inflammatories 24–48 hours prior, as they can thin the blood.
- Arrive with Clean Hair: Shampoo before your visit and skip hair products like gels or sprays.
- Eat a Light Meal: Having something in your stomach helps you feel comfortable during your treatment.
- Stay Hydrated: Well-hydrated blood makes for easier processing.
These small steps set the stage for a seamless experience.
During Your PRP Appointment
Here’s what happens once you arrive at Belle Santé:
- Blood Draw
We start by drawing a small sample of your blood, just like a routine lab test. - Centrifuge Processing
Your blood is placed into a centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma from other components. This creates a concentrated serum full of growth factors. - Targeted Injections
The PRP is carefully injected into thinning areas of your scalp. We use numbing techniques to minimize discomfort, and most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. - Total Time
The entire appointment typically takes 45–60 minutes—making it easy to fit into your day.
After Your PRP Appointment
One of the best parts of PRP therapy is how little disruption it causes to your routine. Here’s what to expect:
- Mild Tenderness or Redness: This fades within 24–48 hours.
- No Downtime: You can return to work, errands, or social activities immediately.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Wait a day or two before resuming hair dye or harsh chemicals.
- Visible Results Over Time: PRP isn’t instant—it works gradually. Most clients see less shedding within weeks and fuller density within months.
