Follicular PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own plasma to stimulate hair growth and strengthen thinning follicles. At Elysium Chicago Aesthetics + Longevity, our medical team provides this non-surgical solution for men and women experiencing early-stage hair loss or thinning. PRP therapy helps restore fullness and density over time—without surgery or synthetic chemicals.

Overview
What Is Follicular PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from a small sample of your blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma rich in growth factors and healing proteins. When injected into the scalp, these natural growth factors signal dormant or weakened hair follicles to regenerate and extend their growth phase.
At Elysium Chicago, our providers use a concentrated PRP protocol designed to maximize platelet count and growth factor potency. This therapy improves hair density, scalp circulation, and follicle vitality over a series of treatments.
