PRP Hair —
wake up
dormant follicles.
PRP Hair Loss Toronto · Scalp Injections · Female & Male Pattern Hair Loss · $750
Hair thinning happens when follicles miniaturize and enter a prolonged resting phase. PRP scalp injections deliver concentrated growth factors directly to follicle depth — reactivating dormant follicles and extending the active growth phase. No surgery. No synthetic drugs. Your own plasma, injected where it’s needed. At Tight Clinic Yorkville, we see hair loss clients every week — the majority are women aged 30–55 dealing with androgenetic alopecia, postpartum shedding, and perimenopause-related thinning. If you have follicles that are miniaturized but not gone, PRP works.

PRP works for
follicles that are
sleeping — not gone.
PRP delivers growth factors to miniaturized follicles — follicles that have shrunk and slowed but still exist. The growth factors signal these follicles to re-enter the active (anagen) phase and produce thicker, stronger hair. What PRP cannot do is regenerate follicles that have been completely destroyed or replaced by scar tissue. This means candidacy matters: if you have thinning hair with visible scalp but existing follicles, PRP works. If you have areas of complete baldness with no follicles remaining, PRP cannot restore what is no longer there. The best candidates are women and men with androgenetic alopecia (female or male pattern hair loss) in the early to moderate stage — the earlier the better. Postpartum shedding, PCOS-related thinning, perimenopause hair loss, and stress-induced shedding all respond well. At Tight Clinic Yorkville, your practitioner will assess candidacy at consultation.

Blood draw to
follicle depth.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is produced by drawing a small volume of your blood and centrifuging it to concentrate platelets and growth factors — separating the active components from red blood cells. The resulting plasma contains a high concentration of growth factors including PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β, and IGF, which are directly responsible for hair follicle stimulation and anagen phase extension.
The concentrated PRP is then injected directly into the scalp at follicle depth — targeting the specific zones of thinning identified at consultation. The growth factors signal dormant follicles to re-enter active growth, increase follicle diameter (producing thicker strands), and extend the anagen phase so hairs stay in active growth longer. Three sessions spaced one month apart build the cumulative effect; maintenance every 3–6 months sustains it.
Your hair loss.
Six mechanisms.
FPHL (female pattern hair loss) — diffuse thinning across the crown and top of the scalp with preserved hairline — is the most common hair loss type treated at Tight Clinic. PRP is highly effective at this stage: follicles are miniaturized but present, and growth factor stimulation reactivates and thickens them. The majority of PRP hair clients are women 30–55.
Androgenetic alopecia in men — receding hairline, crown thinning, temple recession — responds well to PRP in the early to moderate stage. PRP slows miniaturization and reactivates follicles before they become permanently dormant. Earlier intervention produces better results; the longer hair loss progresses without treatment, the fewer follicles remain to respond.
Postpartum hair shedding (telogen effluvium) typically peaks 3–6 months after delivery as hormones normalize. Most hair returns on its own, but PRP accelerates the recovery and reduces the window of significant shedding. For women experiencing prolonged postpartum thinning beyond 12 months, PRP stimulates the follicles to re-enter active growth more efficiently.
Declining estrogen in perimenopause and menopause shifts the hair cycle toward the resting phase — producing diffuse thinning across the scalp. PCOS-related hormonal imbalance causes a similar pattern. PRP directly counteracts this by stimulating follicles with growth factors that override the hormonal signal to rest. Often most effective when combined with hormonal assessment and management.
All-over scalp thinning — where hair becomes progressively finer and less dense across the whole scalp — is a common presentation at both locations. PRP injections across the full scalp address diffuse miniaturization systematically. Multiple treatment zones can be covered in a single session; your practitioner maps the injection grid at consultation.
PRP scalp injections and Exo-Grow hair microneedling are a clinically logical pairing — PRP stimulates follicles from below via injection; Exo-Grow delivers exosome serum via SkinPen microneedling channels to the follicle from above. Many clients do both in the same scalp visit for a combined regenerative approach. Ask at consultation whether a combination protocol is right for you.
Target the thinning.
Not the whole scalp.
PRP is injected into the specific zones where thinning is active. Your practitioner maps the injection grid at consultation — treating the areas where follicles are miniaturizing, not areas of already-complete follicle loss.
The most common treatment zone for both female and male pattern hair loss. Crown thinning — where hair density decreases at the vertex — is highly responsive to PRP. Injections target the follicle-dense area where miniaturization is active and recovery potential is high.
Receding hairline and temple recession — particularly in men with androgenetic alopecia and women with traction-related or hormonal thinning at the frontal hairline. PRP at the hairline targets follicles that are still viable but miniaturizing, potentially slowing or reversing recession in the early to moderate stage.
For clients with all-over thinning rather than a localized pattern, PRP is administered across the full scalp in a systematic injection grid. This is the standard approach for female pattern hair loss and postpartum shedding, where thinning is generalized rather than concentrated in a single zone.
A widening centre part or mid-scalp part line — one of the earliest visible signs of female pattern hair loss — is addressed with targeted injections along the parting zone. This area responds well to PRP and is often the first place clients notice improvement in density and strand thickness.
A hair clinic
inside a medical practice.
PRP scalp injections at Tight Clinic are administered by qualified practitioners within a full medical aesthetics clinic — not a standalone hair centre or chain. This matters because hair loss is often a symptom of underlying health: PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, nutritional deficiency, and hormonal shifts are all common contributing factors. At Tight Clinic Yorkville, you have access to a medical team that can assess and address these factors as part of a complete approach to hair health. Where systemic causes are suspected, your practitioner can guide you to appropriate GP or specialist resources.
PRP hair is also available in combination with Exo-Grow hair microneedling — delivering exosome growth factors via SkinPen microneedling channels to complement the injected PRP. Ask at consultation whether a combined protocol suits your presentation.

Available at both Yorkville (199 Avenue Road) and King West (628 Wellington St W). 3-session monthly protocol recommended — $750 per session. Maintenance every 3–6 months. No referral required. PRP hair is not covered by OHIP or private insurance; it is an elective aesthetic treatment.
Before & After.
Real results.
Individual results vary. Results are visible at 3–6 months as follicles re-enter active growth. Results build gradually — hair is genuinely regenerating, not masked or augmented. A 3-session monthly protocol is the clinical standard; maintenance every 3–6 months is required to sustain results. The earlier in the hair loss process treatment begins, the stronger the response.
PRP hair.
Medical context.
The majority of PRP hair clients at Tight Clinic are women aged 30–55 — dealing with female pattern hair loss, postpartum shedding, perimenopause thinning, and PCOS-related loss. These are exactly the clients who find conventional hair loss clinics alienating (products designed for male pattern baldness) and GP offices inadequate (hair loss dismissed as cosmetic). At Tight Clinic, female hair loss is taken seriously as a medical and aesthetic concern — because it is both.
Tight Clinic offers both PRP hair (injected) and Exo-Grow hair microneedling (topical exosome serum via SkinPen channels) — two different mechanisms that address hair loss from different angles. PRP stimulates from below at follicle depth; Exo-Grow delivers exosome growth factors through the dermis via microneedling. Used in the same session, they are clinically complementary. Not every client needs both — your practitioner will guide you to the right approach or combination at consultation.
Tight Clinic was founded in Toronto in 2019 and operates two locations — Yorkville (199 Avenue Road) and King West (628 Wellington St W) — with 30 staff and 500+ Google reviews at 4.9 stars. PRP hair treatment is part of a broader regenerative medicine offering that includes CellaMax PRFM facial injections, Exo-Grow hair microneedling, SkinPen microneedling, and full injectable and device menus. No referral needed. New clients welcome at both locations.

“I started losing hair after my second pregnancy and it just never fully came back. My GP at the time said it was normal and to wait. I waited two years. At Tight Clinic they actually assessed the pattern, explained it was early androgenetic alopecia layered onto the postpartum loss, and started PRP. Six months later I have noticeably more density. I wish I’d come sooner.”
“I’m a man in my early 40s with thinning at the crown. I didn’t want a transplant and I’d tried minoxidil with limited results. PRP at Tight Clinic has been the most meaningful thing I’ve done for my hair — my barber noticed the new growth before I did. Three sessions in and I’m doing maintenance every four months.”
“Perimenopause hit my hair hard — diffuse thinning all over that my dermatologist said was ‘just hormonal’ and would stabilize. It didn’t. After three PRP sessions at Tight Clinic the shedding has decreased significantly and I can see baby hairs along my part line. It’s the first time in three years my hair feels like it’s coming back.”

Everything about
PRP hair, answered.
15 questions covering what PRP hair treatment is, who it works for, results timeline, downtime, cost, how it compares to Exo-Grow, and more — answered directly and honestly.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair treatment uses concentrated growth factors from your own blood to stimulate dormant hair follicles. Blood is drawn, centrifuged to separate platelets and plasma from red blood cells, and the resulting platelet-rich plasma is injected directly into the scalp at follicle depth. Growth factors in the PRP — including PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β, and IGF — signal miniaturized follicles to re-enter active growth, produce thicker hair strands, and extend the anagen (growth) phase. The result is increased hair density and reduced shedding over 3–6 months.
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia and hormonal thinning occurs when follicles miniaturize — they shrink, produce finer and shorter hairs, and eventually enter a prolonged resting phase. PRP growth factors directly counteract this process. Injected at follicle depth, they signal dormant follicles to reactivate, stimulate blood supply to the follicle, increase follicle size (producing thicker strands), and extend the time follicles spend in active growth. PRP does not create new follicles — it rescues existing ones that are miniaturized but viable.
The ideal PRP candidate has thinning hair with miniaturized follicles that are still present and viable. This includes: women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) or diffuse thinning; men with androgenetic alopecia in the early to moderate stage; women experiencing postpartum hair shedding; clients with perimenopause or PCOS-related hormonal hair loss. PRP is not effective for scarring alopecia or areas of complete follicle loss — if there are no viable follicles to stimulate, growth factors have nothing to work with. Candidacy is assessed at consultation. The earlier PRP is started in the hair loss process, the stronger the result.
Yes — and women are the majority of PRP hair clients at Tight Clinic. Female pattern hair loss, diffuse thinning, postpartum shedding, perimenopause hair loss, and PCOS-related thinning all respond well to PRP scalp injections. The pattern of women’s hair loss (diffuse across the crown rather than complete baldness in one zone) is particularly well-suited to PRP — follicles are miniaturized across a wide area but present and viable. Results at 3–6 months are consistently significant in this group.
Yes — and at Tight Clinic King West, you can see a GP in the same building. Hair thinning is a documented symptom of PCOS, perimenopause, thyroid dysfunction, and other hormonal conditions. If you suspect an underlying cause, booking a GP consultation with Dr. Noam Raiter or Dr. Yuan Yuan Zhang first allows you to rule out or address root causes before starting PRP. A referral from your GP to the PRP program is a natural next step — and many King West clients move between the GP practice and the aesthetics team as part of an integrated health plan.
No — PRP hair treatment is not covered by OHIP or most private insurance plans in Canada. It is classified as an elective aesthetic treatment rather than a medically necessary procedure. At $750 per session, a 3-session protocol represents a total investment of $2,190. Some extended health benefit plans may cover a portion if a physician’s referral is provided and hair loss is documented as affecting quality of life — check your specific policy. At Tight Clinic King West, our on-site GPs can provide documentation where appropriate.
The clinical standard is 3 sessions spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance every 3–6 months. Some clients see meaningful results after a single session; the cumulative effect of three sessions in close succession produces the most significant and durable improvement. After the initial protocol, maintenance frequency is guided by individual response — most clients do maintenance once or twice annually.
Each session takes approximately 60–75 minutes from arrival to departure. This includes the blood draw (5–10 minutes), centrifuge processing (20–25 minutes during which scalp numbing is applied), and the PRP injection phase (20–30 minutes depending on treatment zones). No extended downtime or recovery — most clients return to normal activities the same day.
Results are typically visible at 3–6 months. This is not a slow treatment — it reflects the biology of the hair cycle. Follicles stimulated by PRP need to complete their cycle and re-enter anagen (active growth) before new density becomes visible. Most clients notice reduced shedding within 4–6 weeks of the first session — the first sign the treatment is working. New growth and increased density become visible at 3–6 months. Full results develop after completing the 3-session protocol.
Results from the initial 3-session protocol last approximately 12–18 months without maintenance. Because androgenetic alopecia and hormonal hair loss are ongoing processes, results will gradually diminish if maintenance sessions are not continued. Most clients maintain results with one session every 3–6 months after completing the initial protocol. Ongoing maintenance is not optional for sustained results — this is worth knowing before starting treatment.
Topical scalp numbing is applied before injection and given full time to take effect. With the numbing protocol in place, most clients describe PRP scalp injections as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful — a mild pressure or brief sting at each injection point. The scalp is one of the more sensitive areas for injections; numbing makes the procedure well-tolerable for the vast majority of clients. Sensitivity varies — if you have concerns, mention them at consultation and the team can adjust the approach.
Minimal. Expect mild scalp tenderness and possible swelling for 24–48 hours. Small injection point marks may be visible at the scalp surface for 24 hours. Avoid washing hair for 8 hours post-treatment; avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours. Hair can be styled normally the following day. Most clients return to work the same day or the next morning. There is no visible “recovery period” — hair loss treatments at Tight Clinic are designed to fit into normal life.
Different delivery mechanism, complementary results. PRP scalp injections deliver concentrated growth factors directly into the scalp at follicle depth via needle — stimulating follicles from within the dermis. Exo-Grow delivers a clinical exosome serum to the follicle via SkinPen microneedling channels — a topical delivery mechanism that penetrates without injection. PRP uses autologous (your own) growth factors; Exo-Grow uses exosomes with a 1,600× concentration of bioactive signals. They can be used in the same session for a combined protocol — many Tight Clinic clients do both for a comprehensive hair restoration approach. Your practitioner will guide you to the right option or combination at consultation.
Yes — combination is common and clinically logical. PRP + Exo-Grow in the same scalp session is the most frequent combination at Tight Clinic — injected PRP from below, exosome serum via microneedling channels from above. PRP can also be combined with medical management (minoxidil, finasteride) where appropriate — PRP and topical/oral medications address different aspects of the hair loss process and are not mutually exclusive. At King West, GP consultation is available in the same building for clients who want to address underlying hormonal causes alongside PRP treatment.
