A doctor consulting a patient about PRP hair loss treatment in a dermatology clinic, smiling and taking notes.

It’s normal to notice changes in your hair over time: a wider part, more strands in the shower drain, or a ponytail that feels thinner than it once did. Hair naturally goes through growth cycles, but when shedding outpaces regrowth, it can feel discouraging. The good news is that advances in regenerative medicine now make it possible to encourage new growth using your body’s own healing power.
