Hair Restoration in Jacksonville, FL
At Crystal Clear Dental Spa, Dr. Mary Hu offers advanced hair restoration treatments using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy to help patients in Jacksonville, FL, combat hair loss and stimulate natural hair regrowth. This innovative, non-surgical treatment harnesses your body's own healing properties to rejuvenate hair follicles and promote thicker, healthier hair.
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a natural treatment that uses concentrated platelets from your own blood to stimulate hair growth. Platelets contain growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP activates dormant hair follicles, increases blood supply to follicles, and extends the growth phase of the hair cycle, resulting in thicker, fuller hair.
Who Can Benefit from Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration is effective for various types of hair loss:
- Androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)
- Thinning hair
- Receding hairline
- Widening part
- Overall hair volume loss
- Early-stage hair loss
- Post-pregnancy hair thinning
- Stress-related hair loss

The PRP Hair Restoration Process
Your PRP hair restoration treatment at Crystal Clear Dental Spa begins with a simple blood draw, similar to routine lab work. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. Meanwhile, your scalp is cleansed and numbed for comfort. Dr. Hu then injects the PRP into areas of thinning or hair loss using a fine needle. The entire process takes about 60-90 minutes.
Treatment Protocol and Results
Most patients need a series of 3-4 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Improvement typically becomes noticeable after the second or third treatment, with continued improvement over the following months. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain results. Hair growth is gradual and natural-looking, with most patients seeing significant improvement in hair thickness and density within 3-6 months.
Combining PRP with Other Treatments
PRP hair restoration can be combined with other hair loss treatments for enhanced results:
- Topical minoxidil (Rogaine)
- Oral medications (finasteride)
- Low-level laser therapy
- Nutritional supplements
- Medical-grade hair care products
Dr. Hu will create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific type and extent of hair loss.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP hair restoration works best for patients with early to moderate hair loss who still have active hair follicles. It's most effective for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and general thinning. Patients with complete baldness in an area may not be good candidates, as PRP can't create new follicles—it can only rejuvenate existing ones. Dr. Hu will evaluate your hair loss pattern and discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
