Hair loss isn’t “just hair.” It changes how you show up at work, how you feel in photos, how confident you are walking into a room.

Michael Woo-Ming, MD, MPH (Mayo Clinic–trained; decades in SoCal) oversees your plan end-to-end—evaluation, protocol, dosing, aftercare. No mystery cocktails. No Groupon shortcuts. Just your own biology, concentrated and put to work.

What we actually do (no fluff)

We draw a small vial of your blood and spin it in a medical centrifuge. That separates the platelet-rich layer packed with growth factors your follicles respond to. That’s PRP. If we slow the spin and preserve a fibrin matrix—the scaffold that holds and releases those factors longer—you get PRF. Think of PRP as the spark and PRF as the slow, steady burn. We use one, the other, or both depending on your scalp, your goals, and your timeline.

This is not a hair transplant. There are no plugs. No incisions. PRP/PRF wakes up dormant follicles and strengthens the ones you still have. If the follicle is completely gone, nothing short of surgery replaces it, and we’ll tell you that upfront.

Who usually does well

Early recession at the temples. A widening part. Crown thinning that started in the last few years. Post-partum shedding that never fully bounced back. Beards with patchy spots. Men and women in their 20s to 60s who still have live follicles but want density, not drama. If you’re totally slick in an area, we’ll save you time and money and steer you to the right referral.

The visit—simple and quick

You sit. We talk. We look under good, even light. We map the scalp and take baseline photos (same chair, same light every visit so progress is obvious without filters). We numb the area, draw blood, spin it, and place micro-injections across thinning zones—crown, temples, part line. You’re out in about 45 minutes. Tender, maybe a bit puffy, but not sidelined. Most people work the same day and wash hair the next.

What the next few months feel like

Step 1

Weeks 1–2

Scalp feels “healthier.” A little tight. Some patients notice less shedding in the shower.

Step 2

Weeks 4–8

Soft baby hairs along the hairline or part. Texture near the root feels thicker.

Step 3

Months 3–6

Density builds. You don’t style to hide as much. Friends say you look different but can’t place why.

We usually plan three sessions spaced 4–6 weeks, then maintenance every 6–9 months. If stress, iron, thyroid, or hormones are wrecking your progress, we’ll fix that in parallel so gains stick.

Why here, and not a medspa deal

Because outcome lives or dies on the boring details: how the blood is processed, how freshly the platelets are used, how evenly the scalp is mapped, how deep the injections go, what else in your health is helping or hurting follicles. Under physician oversight, those details aren’t guesswork.

We also check the things Instagram ignores: thyroid, ferritin/iron, vitamin D, testosterone/estrogen, meds that can trigger shedding, high-stress life phases. If you’re doing GLP-1 or medically supervised weight loss with us, we time hair sessions so nutrition and recovery support growth, not fight it.

Expectations, without the sales pitch

This is subtle and believable. You won’t walk out with a new hairline in an afternoon. You will look like yourself with more coverage and thicker strands over time. Under-eye “miracle” claims and photos taken in different rooms with different lighting don’t count here. We keep it honest: same chair, same light, measurable change.

If you want instant bulk in a specific spot for a big event, we’ll say so: PRP/PRF isn’t that. If you’re a great transplant candidate and that’s the move, we’ll say that too. Right tool, right job.

Comfort and downtime

We numb well. We go fast. Most describe the injections as pressure with a few spicy spots. You’ll be a little tender that evening. No heavy sweat for 24–48 hours. No harsh products for a couple days. SPF like you mean it. That’s it.

PRP vs PRF—how we choose

We like PRP for broad zones and early wins. We like PRF where we want a longer, slower release—temples and hairline do especially well. Many patients do a blend: PRF at the front, PRP to cover wide areas, then we adjust based on response. If you respond fast, we may stretch spacing. If you need more, we’ll say it—no upsell, just data.

Pairings that move the needle

Microneedling to increase micro-circulation and boost absorption.
Targeted supplements (iron if you’re low, vitamin D if you’re low, protein actually hitting your target).
Hormone tuning if labs point there—thyroid or testosterone/estrogen off-track will sabotage scalp health.
Low-level light at home if you’re consistent; we’ll tell you what’s real and what’s hype.

Pricing without games

You’ll see the cost for the series, the optional PRF upgrade, and maintenance before we start. If your scalp needs fewer sessions than the standard three, great—you pay for fewer. If a focused add-on pass for a stubborn crown makes sense, we’ll plan it. No bundles built to oversell.
