At Jernigan’s Hair Replacement Clinic, we offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy—a proven, non-surgical treatment that helps stimulate natural hair growth in both men and women. This innovative procedure uses your body’s own platelets, which are packed with growth factors, to awaken dormant hair follicles and encourage thicker, healthier hair.
PRP Therapy has gained significant attention in the medical community thanks to advances in regenerative medicine. Research has shown its powerful ability to support tissue repair and healing, making it a highly effective option for certain types of hair loss. In fact, a study published in Dermatologic Surgery by physicians in Korea demonstrated PRP’s ability to improve hair density and thickness in patients with hair thinning.
Because PRP is derived from your own blood, it’s 100% natural, safe, and free from the side effects associated with many prescription treatments. For many patients, it’s a trusted choice for slowing hair loss and restoring confidence—without surgery or downtime.
A new solution to treat hair loss, Exosome + PRP Injection Therapy works to maintain and thicken hair in patients with Androgenic Alopecia (hereditary hair loss). Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles derived from stem cells that contain powerful growth factors, signaling molecules, and regenerative proteins. These act as messengers, stimulating dormant follicles, reducing inflammation, and encouraging a healthier scalp environment for new hair growth.
When used in combination with the PRP blood serum, exosomes act as a hair growth accelerator by delivering a concentrated boost of regenerative signals directly to weakened follicles. This synergistic effect helps extend the growth phase of hair, repair damaged tissue, and improve overall follicle function—often providing longer-lasting benefits than PRP alone.
Unlike topical and other prescription treatments, PRP + Exosome therapy requires no daily maintenance.
We invite you to contact us to learn more about this breakthrough hair restoration option.

Human blood naturally contains mesenchymal stem cells and other powerful growth factors that play a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy harnesses these natural healing components to help stimulate and support hair growth.
PRP has been widely studied and safely used in medical fields such as oral surgery, neurosurgery, plastic and cosmetic surgery, sports medicine, and orthopedics for over two decades—often with excellent results. Medical literature from both Europe and the United States confirms its safety and benefits in promoting healing.
In hair restoration, PRP is emerging as a promising non-surgical option to help improve hair density, strengthen existing hair, and stimulate new growth. While PRP is not designed to replace FDA-approved hair loss treatments like DHT blockers or Minoxidil, it can be an effective addition to a comprehensive treatment plan—especially for patients looking for a natural, regenerative approach.
Blood is drawn in our office as though you are having routine blood testing at your primary care physician’s office. The blood is spun in a centrifuge and the PRP is separated and removed from the rest of the blood.
The PRP is taken from your body and is specially prepared by spinning down the blood cells to a high concentration. We are proud to use the state of the art SmartPrep 2 system technology, designed by Harvest Technologies. After centrifugation, the platelets and other vital growth proteins raise to the top. Under a topical anesthesia the highly concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into the scalp.
The PRP contains many growth factors that stimulate the hair follicle’s growth. PRP can be used preoperatively, intraoperatively, or post operatively. Some patient’s chose to have PRP performed every three (3) to four (4) months as early data suggests regular or semiannual PRP treatments can stimulate hair growth.
PRP contains special cells called Platelets, that can cause growth of the hair follicles by theoretically stimulating the stem cells located in the Dermal Papilla as well as other structures of the hair follicle These special Platelet cells promotes healing, accelerates the rate and degree of tissue healing and regeneration, response of the body to injury, and formation of new cellular growth. The primary purpose of using PRP in hair restoration is to stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase.
Inside the Platelets are many intracellular structures such as glycogen, lysosomes and alpha granules. These granules within the PRP contain clotting and growth factors that are eventually released during the healing and repair process.
ACell is an FDA approved protein matrix that releases chemical signals which “recruit” growth hormones and proteins to the scalp.
When used in combination with the PRP blood serum, ACell acts as a hair growth accelerator & fertilizer by activating stem cells thereby providing a continuous supply of growth factors to weakened hair follicles for a longer period of time than PRP alone. Basically, ACell amplifies the effects of PRP.
While individual results vary and no guarantees of success can be made, preliminary studies indicate many patients respond to PRP therapy. Some hair restoration physicians apply PRP to the scalp for those patients who are not surgical candidates every six (6) to eight (8) weeks. Other protocols will use PRP before or during surgery to insure graft survivability.
PRP is an emerging non surgical based therapy for natural stimulation for thinning hair. Larger clinical studies are pending but the current medical literature contains numerous positive results. Although a few controlled studies exist, anecdotal and case reports are the primary sources reflecting success with PRP therapy.
PRP has been used successfully in other medical and surgical disciplines for many years. The decision to use PRP is a personal decision and should be made after careful research, consideration and consultation with a physician. PRP is safe and natural because the procedure concentrates the good cells from your own body directly back into the area where it is needed. There is absolutely no chance of getting a blood infection from another human being. PRP involves using your own cells and it will not be rejected by your immune system.
Clinical trials are not complete and medical data is not yet published to determine the effectiveness of PRP therapy in hair restoration. PRP should not be considered a “cure” for hair loss and no guarantee can be made about its individual effectiveness. No claim of PRP efficacy in promoting hair growth can be made because there is no FDA approval that would allow such claims to be made.
Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it and prescribe PRP therapy as a compliment to a non-surgical approach for those patients who are not eligible for surgery or who want to delay hair restoration surgery. As a non-surgical treatment option, we recommend PRP therapy along with Minoxidil, DHT blockers, and Laser Hair Therapy.
In summary, PRP therapy offers a promising alternative for natural hair growth for those patients who are not candidates for surgery. It also is a beneficial therapy for surgical patients who want PRP therapy as a complimentary procedure at the same time hair restoration surgery with either automated FUE or the STRIP procedure.
Whether you are looking for additional hair stimulation, or are looking to have hair surgery with the addition of PRP, Jernigan’s Hair Replacement Clinic is able to meet your needs. Although results will vary from patient to patients, PRP as a non-surgical option offers patients with miniaturization and hair thinning improvement in hair caliber and thickness.
