PRP Hair Restoration in Gwinnett County, GA
Platelet-rich plasma hair restoration at Tactus Health in Sugar Hill. Your own blood-derived growth factors delivered directly to the scalp to stimulate dormant follicles and slow hair loss. No surgery, no synthetic chemicals. Scalp PRP injections by Dr. Ashar. Series of 3–4 sessions recommended.
Your Own Growth Factors. Delivered Directly to the Follicle.
PRP hair restoration uses your own blood as the treatment. A small amount is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, then delivered to the scalp either through direct injection or scalp microneedling. The concentrated platelets carry growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, and TGF that stimulate follicle activity, improve blood supply to the scalp, and slow the miniaturization process that leads to hair thinning. PRP works best in the early to mid stages of hair loss when follicles are still present but dormant or weakened. It does not regrow hair where follicles are fully absent. For patients who want to address hair thinning with a natural, non-surgical approach before considering pharmaceutical options or transplantation, PRP is the evidence-backed starting point.
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair restoration uses the growth factors concentrated in your own blood platelets to stimulate hair follicle activity. The process begins with a standard blood draw. The blood is placed in a centrifuge that separates the platelet-rich plasma from red blood cells. The resulting PRP contains a concentration of platelets and growth factors at significantly higher levels than whole blood. This concentrated plasma is then delivered to the scalp in the treatment area.
At Tactus Health we offer two delivery methods. Dr. Ashar performs scalp PRP injections, placing the plasma precisely at the follicle level across the treatment zone using a fine-needle injection technique. For patients who prefer microneedling delivery, our licensed aestheticians perform scalp microneedling using SkinPen to create micro-channels in the scalp through which PRP is absorbed. The Pixel8 RF microneedling option, performed by Dr. Ashar, combines radiofrequency energy with PRP delivery for enhanced scalp stimulation. Dr. Ashar assesses your candidacy and recommends the most appropriate delivery method at your consultation.
A series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended for initial treatment. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months sustain results. Most patients notice reduced shedding after the first 1–2 sessions and visible improvement in hair density at 3–6 months. PRP hair restoration is most effective for androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss) and alopecia areata in appropriate candidates.

Two Delivery Methods. One Clinical Standard.
Dr. Ashar determines the most appropriate delivery method at your consultation based on your hair loss pattern, scalp condition, and treatment goals.
PRP is delivered directly into the scalp at the follicle level using a fine-needle injection technique. Injections are placed systematically across the treatment zone at precise depths to maximize contact between the growth factors and the target follicles. This method provides the most direct and controlled PRP delivery. Also available: Pixel8 RF microneedling with PRP by Dr. Ashar, which combines radiofrequency energy with PRP delivery for enhanced scalp stimulation.
SkinPen creates thousands of micro-channels in the scalp through which the PRP is absorbed. The microneedling itself stimulates the scalp’s healing response while the PRP delivered through the open channels reaches the follicle level. This method is preferred by patients with needle sensitivity, as topical numbing can be applied to the scalp before the session and the sensation is milder than direct injection.
Growth Factors from Your Own Blood. Delivered to Dormant Follicles.
Hair follicles that are thinning or dormant still have the structural capacity to produce hair. What they often lack is adequate blood supply, growth factor stimulation, and the cellular signaling to maintain active growth cycles. PRP directly addresses this: the concentrated growth factors in your plasma stimulate follicle activity, improve microcirculation in the scalp, and help maintain the anagen (active growth) phase of the hair cycle.
Because the treatment uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or foreign body response. No synthetic chemicals, no hormonal intervention. For patients in the early to mid stages of hair loss, this is the most evidence-backed non-surgical intervention available before pharmaceutical or transplantation options.
Book Your ConsultationWho Is a Good Candidate?
Who PRP does not help: Patients with complete follicle absence in the treatment area, scarring alopecia (where follicles have been destroyed by inflammation or trauma), or conditions affecting platelet function. Dr. Ashar confirms candidacy at consultation.

Dr. Ashar N.
Dr. Ashar holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice and two national board certifications, one in family practice and one in psychiatric mental health.
She founded Tactus Health to close the gap she watched her own family fall through: symptoms that were real, labs that came back normal, and no one willing to connect the two.
She is responsible for the protocols our medical team follows, and for the training of the clinicians who deliver them. Holding both certifications is why those protocols treat hormones, mood, sleep and metabolism as one system rather than five separate appointments.

PRP Hair Restoration FAQ
Most patients notice reduced shedding within 1–2 sessions. Visible improvement in hair density, thickness, and new growth typically appears at 3–6 months after completing the initial series. Hair growth cycles are slow, and PRP works by stimulating follicle activity within those cycles. Most patients are evaluated at 6 months post-series to assess the full response and plan maintenance.
Topical numbing is applied to the scalp before both injection and microneedling delivery. With proper numbing, most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or occasional brief stinging. The scalp is more sensitive than the face, but the numbing makes the session manageable. Microneedling delivery tends to be somewhat less intense than injection for patients with needle sensitivity.
An initial series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is the standard recommendation. After the initial series, maintenance sessions every 3–6 months sustain the results. Hair loss is a progressive condition for most patients, and PRP maintenance is an ongoing commitment. Stopping PRP typically allows the progression to resume over time.
PRP, minoxidil (Rogaine), and finasteride are different approaches that can be used independently or in combination. None is universally superior. Dr. Ashar reviews your hair loss type, history, and preferences at your consultation to recommend the most appropriate approach. PRP can complement pharmaceutical treatment for patients already using minoxidil or finasteride.
PRP injections place the plasma directly at the follicle level in the dermis using a fine needle, providing the most direct contact between the growth factors and the target follicles. PRP microneedling creates micro-channels in the scalp through which PRP is absorbed. Both methods are effective. Injection provides more precise depth control. Microneedling is preferred by some patients with needle sensitivity. Dr. Ashar recommends the most appropriate method based on your hair loss pattern and preferences.
Yes. PRP hair restoration is used for both male and female pattern hair loss. Female pattern hair loss typically presents as diffuse thinning at the crown and widening of the part. PRP addresses follicle health across the thinning zone regardless of the pattern. Female patients often respond well to PRP, particularly when treatment begins in the early to mid stages before significant miniaturization has occurred.
Minimal. Mild scalp tenderness and redness in the treatment area typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Wash your hair gently the following day using a mild shampoo. Avoid vigorous scalp massage, heat styling, and chemical treatments for 48–72 hours post-session. Return to normal work and activities immediately after the session.

Important Information: PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment using the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma. Results vary significantly by individual, hair loss type, stage of loss, number of sessions completed, and underlying health factors. PRP is not effective for scarring alopecia or areas of complete follicle absence. Not appropriate during pregnancy, for patients with blood disorders affecting platelet function, active scalp infections, or certain medical conditions. A medical consultation is required before beginning treatment. Scalp PRP injections and Pixel8 RF microneedling with PRP are performed by Dr. Ashar N., DNP, APRN. SkinPen scalp microneedling with PRP is performed by Georgia licensed aestheticians under Dr. Ashar’s clinical oversight. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed. PRP hair restoration is not a cure for hair loss and maintenance sessions are typically required to sustain results.
