Hair Restoration with Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) is an advanced, non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate natural hair growth, improve hair thickness, and slow progressive hair loss. PDGF uses concentrated growth factors that play a critical role in tissue repair and cellular regeneration. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles, improve blood supply, and encourage healthier, thicker hair growth.
Unlike hair transplant surgery, PDGF hair restoration is minimally invasive, requires little to no downtime, and works by enhancing your body's natural regenerative processes. At Southern Urogynecology & Wellness, we offer customized hair restoration treatments to help both men and women achieve fuller, healthier-looking hair.
PDGF hair restoration can help improve many forms of hair thinning, including:
The best outcomes are typically achieved when treatment begins during the early stages of hair thinning, before significant follicle loss has occurred.
PDGF offers a natural, regenerative approach to improving hair growth. Benefits include:
You may be a good candidate if you:
During your consultation, we'll evaluate your scalp, discuss your medical history, and determine the cause of your hair loss. Because not all hair loss is the same, identifying the underlying cause is essential to creating the most effective treatment plan.
Hair growth is gradual because hair follicles naturally cycle through different growth phases. Most patients begin noticing reduced shedding within the first few months, followed by increased thickness and improved density over time. Patients commonly experience:
For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, followed by periodic maintenance sessions depending on your individual goals and pattern of hair loss.
Recovery following PDGF hair restoration is typically quick and uncomplicated. Immediately after treatment, you may experience:
Most patients return to work and normal daily activities the same day or the following day. Your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and washing your hair for a short period after treatment to optimize results.
At Southern Urogynecology & Wellness, we believe successful hair restoration begins with identifying the underlying cause of hair loss—not simply treating the symptoms. Our providers take a comprehensive approach by evaluating hormonal health, nutritional status, and other medical factors that may contribute to hair thinning. This allows us to develop personalized treatment plans that support both hair growth and overall wellness. Our patients benefit from:
Our goal is to help you achieve healthier, fuller hair while addressing the root causes of hair loss whenever possible.
The cost of PDGF hair restoration varies depending on the number of treatments recommended and your individualized treatment plan. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, with maintenance sessions scheduled as needed to preserve results. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your hair loss, discuss your goals, and provide transparent pricing tailored to your treatment plan.
Platelet-Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) are naturally occurring proteins that help regulate tissue repair, healing, and cellular regeneration. When delivered to the scalp, they help stimulate hair follicles and support healthier hair growth.
While both treatments use growth factors to encourage hair growth, PDGF therapy uses highly concentrated platelet-derived growth factors rather than whole platelet-rich plasma. Depending on the product used, PDGF may offer greater consistency and eliminate some of the variability associated with traditional PRP.
