Postpartum hair shedding is common. And while it’s temporary for many women, the amount of hair loss can still feel alarming. After pregnancy, shifting hormone levels push a large number of hair follicles into a resting phase, leading to noticeable thinning along the hairline, temples, and part.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections offer a way to support regrowth during this phase. PRP is created from your own blood and is rich in growth factors that help reawaken dormant follicles, improve scalp circulation, and extend the hair’s growth cycle. When injected into the scalp, PRP can strengthen existing strands and encourage healthier, thicker regrowth over time.
For postpartum patients, PRP is a natural, drug-free (breastfeeding safe) option that works with your body’s healing process. Treatments are quick, require little downtime, and can be safely paired with topical or oral therapies when appropriate.
Hair loss after pregnancy doesn’t have to be something you “just wait out.” With the right intervention, you can actively support your body in restoring the hair you recognize as yours.
