PRP vs LaseMD Hair Restoration

Which Hair Restoration Treatment Is Right for You?

Hair restoration has evolved significantly over the past decade. While Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been widely used for hair thinning, newer technologies such as LaseMD Ultra Hair Restoration with KeraFactor offer a completely different approach.

 

If you're new to hair restoration, we recommend first exploring our Hair Restoration & Hair Loss Treatments guide to learn about the common causes of hair loss and the non-surgical treatment options available at Redwood Medi Spa & Laser Clinic before comparing individual treatments.

​

Both treatments aim to support healthier hair growth, but they work in different ways and offer different treatment experiences.

This comparison is intended for educational purposes. Both PRP and LaseMD Hair Restoration are established non-surgical options for hair thinning. The most appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause of your hair loss, your scalp health, your medical history, and your treatment goals.

​
How Do They Work?

PRP Hair Restoration

PRP involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into areas of hair thinning.

​

The platelets release naturally occurring growth factors that may stimulate dormant hair follicles.

Because PRP comes from your own blood, the concentration and quality of growth factors can vary from person to person.

​

LaseMD Hair Restoration with KeraFactor® 

LaseMD Ultra uses a gentle fractional laser to create microscopic channels in the scalp. Immediately afterward, KeraFactor®'s biomimetic growth factor serum is applied to enhance delivery into the skin.

​

The treatment is designed to support scalp health and create a more favourable environment for healthier, fuller-looking hair without injections or surgery.

​

Which Treatment Is More Comfortable?

For many people, comfort is one of the biggest differences.

​

PRP

  • Blood collection

  • Multiple scalp injections

  • Temporary soreness

  • Mild swelling

 

LaseMD Hair Restoration

  • No needles

  • No blood draw

  • Comfortable laser treatment

  • Little to no downtime

 

Many patients choose LaseMD because they prefer a non-invasive treatment experience.

Why Standardization Matters

One difference that many people don't realize is consistency.

 

PRP depends on:

  • Your platelet count

  • Your overall health

  • Your hydration

  • Blood processing technique

 

LaseMD with KeraFactor uses a manufactured formulation that provides the same concentration from one treatment to the next, allowing for a more standardized treatment protocol.

​

Looking for an Even More Advanced Hair Restoration Option?

LaseMD Ultra can also be paired with ASCE+ HRLV Exosomes, an advanced regenerative solution that contains naturally occurring signalling molecules to support scalp health and hair growth.

​

During your consultation, we'll recommend whether KeraFactor or Exosomes is the better option based on your type of hair thinning, scalp condition, and treatment goals.

Which Treatment Is Better?

There isn't a single treatment that's best for everyone.

​

PRP has been used successfully for many years and remains a valuable option for appropriate candidates.

​

However, if you are looking for a treatment that:

  • Doesn't require blood draws

  • Doesn't involve scalp injections

  • Offers a more comfortable experience

  • Uses a standardized growth factor formulation

 

LaseMD Hair Restoration may be an excellent option.

​

Whether you choose KeraFactor or Exosomes, both treatments use the same LaseMD Ultra fractional laser to enhance delivery into the scalp. Your consultation will help determine which protocol is most appropriate for your hair loss.

 

The best choice depends on the cause of your hair thinning, your scalp health, and your treatment goals.

​

Your Hair Loss May Have More Than One Cause

Hair thinning can be influenced by:

  • Genetics

  • Hormonal changes

  • Menopause

  • Postpartum hair loss

  • Stress

  • Nutritional deficiencies

  • Medical conditions

  • Certain medications

  • Aging

 

Hair thinning can have many different causes, including genetics, hormonal changes, menopause, postpartum changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions, certain medications, and natural ageing. That's why every consultation at Redwood Medi Spa & Laser Clinic begins with a comprehensive scalp assessment and personalized treatment plan.
