PRP Hair Restoration in Frederick, MD
Platelet Rich Plasma hair loss treatment at Sage Wellness & Aesthetics — serving
Urbana, Frederick, and Frederick County, MD
Hair loss can feel deeply personal — whether you are noticing a widening part, thinning
at the crown, or hair that just does not seem as full as it once was. The good news is
that PRP Hair Restoration offers a safe, natural, and clinically supported solution that
works with your own biology to stimulate hair growth and slow further loss. At Sage
Wellness & Aesthetics in Frederick, MD, Tara Cunningham, FNP-C, offers PRP Hair
Restoration for both women and men in a discreet, comfortable, and welcoming
environment.
WHAT IS PRP HAIR RESTORATION?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. A small amount of your own blood is drawn,
placed in a centrifuge, and spun to concentrate the platelets and growth factors
naturally present in your blood. This concentrated plasma is then injected directly into
the scalp in areas experiencing thinning or hair loss.
The growth factors in PRP work to stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood
supply to the scalp, and support the growth of thicker, healthier hair strands. Because
PRP is derived entirely from your own blood, it is one of the safest and most natural hair
restoration options available — with no synthetic medications and no risk of allergic
reaction.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PRP HAIR RESTORATION?
PRP Hair Restoration works best for patients who are in the earlier to moderate stages
of hair loss and still have active hair follicles that can be stimulated. It is effective for
both women and men and can help with:
• Androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair thinning in men and women)
• Female pattern hair loss
• Postpartum hair shedding
• Thinning hair due to stress or hormonal changes
• Alopecia areata (in some cases)
During your complimentary consultation, Tara will assess your pattern and degree of
hair loss and let you know honestly whether PRP is likely to be beneficial for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT SAGE WELLNESS & AESTHETICS?
Before Your Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation with Tara to assess your hair loss pattern and
medical history. To prepare, arrive with clean dry hair and no products on your scalp.
Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen for 48
hours before your appointment. Staying well hydrated in the days leading up to your
treatment also helps optimize your PRP quality.
During Your Treatment
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood draw. The
blood is processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. A topical numbing
agent is applied to the scalp before injections to minimize discomfort. Tara then
carefully injects the PRP into the targeted areas of the scalp using a precise pattern to
ensure even distribution. The full treatment typically takes 60 to 90 minutes.
After Your Treatment
Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours after treatment. Some mild scalp tenderness and
redness is normal and resolves quickly. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24
hours. Results from PRP Hair Restoration develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as hair
follicles are stimulated and new growth cycles begin. Most patients notice reduced
shedding first, followed by new hair growth and increased thickness over time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HAIR RESTORATION IN FREDERICK, MD
How long does it take to see results from PRP Hair Restoration?
Most patients begin to notice reduced hair shedding within the first 1 to 2 months.
Visible new hair growth typically becomes apparent at 3 to 6 months after starting
treatment. Because hair grows in cycles, full results from a complete treatment series
may take up to 12 months to fully appreciate.
How many PRP Hair Restoration sessions do I need?
Most patients begin with a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart,
followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months to sustain results. The number
of treatments needed varies based on the degree of hair loss and individual response.
Tara will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
Does PRP Hair Restoration hurt?
A topical numbing agent is applied to the scalp before injections to minimize discomfort.
Most patients describe mild pressure or a light stinging sensation during the injections.
Any scalp tenderness after treatment is typically mild and resolves within a day or two.
Is PRP Hair Restoration safe for women?
Yes. PRP Hair Restoration is safe and effective for women experiencing hair thinning or
loss due to a variety of causes including hormonal changes, postpartum shedding, and
genetic hair loss. Because PRP is derived from your own blood there are no synthetic
hormones or medications involved, making it a natural and well-tolerated option for
women.
How long do PRP Hair Restoration results last?
With a complete initial treatment series and consistent maintenance sessions, many
patients maintain their results for 12 to 18 months or longer. Hair loss is an ongoing
process for most people, so maintenance treatments are an important part of sustaining
your results over time.
