PRP Hair Restoration in West Hollywood: What to Expect, Results, and Comprehensive Hair Loss Treatments

 

Hair thinning or early-stage hair loss can be frustrating — especially when you want a natural solution that doesn’t involve surgery, hormone pills, or harsh medications. At Be Well Berlin in West Hollywood, we offer comprehensive, evidence-based care for hair loss, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, medication options, and hormonal assessment when appropriate.

Whether you're dealing with androgenetic alopecia, hormonal shifts, or stress-related hair loss, we're here to help you navigate it with expertise, honesty, and care.
 

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can happen for many reasons — and identifying the cause is the first step toward effective treatment. Common contributing factors include:
 
  • Androgenetic Alopecia (pattern hair loss)
  • Hormonal shifts (menopause, PCOS, testosterone changes)
  • Medication effects (SSRIs, blood pressure meds, etc.)
  • Nutritional or thyroid issues
  • Stress or inflammatory scalp conditions
 

Treatment Options We Offer

🔬 PRP Hair Restoration

PRP therapy uses your body’s own healing components — platelets — to stimulate dormant hair follicles. It’s a minimally invasive, natural option for people in the early-to-moderate stages of hair thinning.

What to Expect:
  • Each session is about 60 minutes
  • Includes blood draw, double-spin centrifuge processing, and scalp injections
  • No downtime – you can return to normal activity immediately
 

🧪 Why We Use the Double-Spin Method

At Be Well Berlin, we use a double-spin PRP process, which delivers higher platelet concentration and more consistent results than single-spin systems.
 
  • First spin (soft) separates plasma from red/white blood cells
  • Second spin (hard) concentrates platelets into a smaller volume of plasma

This improves the quality and regenerative potential of your PRP and sets our care apart from fast, low-cost med spas.

 

 

📸 Real Results: Hair Regrowth Journey
 

We're proud to show authentic transformations. The before-and-after images below are from a real patient who underwent a series of PRP injections as part of a personalized hair restoration plan.

This individual's results were achieved over the course of several months using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments performed in our West Hollywood office. While individual results vary, many patients begin noticing improvements in hair density and scalp coverage within 3–6 months.

Double-Spin PRP: Maximizing Results with Advanced Processing

At Be Well Berlin, we use a double-spin centrifuge technique to create a more potent, platelet-rich plasma — the gold standard for PRP hair restoration. This method separates and concentrates growth factors with greater precision, leading to more consistent and noticeable results.

Whether you're treating early-stage hair loss or looking to enhance follicle recovery, our process goes beyond med-spa quick fixes.

📊 What the Research Says: PRP, Minoxidil, and Oral Therapies

Dual Therapy: PRP + Topical Minoxidil

 
Recent studies show that PRP combined with topical minoxidil outperforms either therapy alone. In a comparative clinical study (PMC8923145), the combination:
 
  • Increased hair density by 32% vs 16% (P = 0.0347)
  • Increased hair shaft thickness by 26% vs 2% (P = 0.00001)
  • Reduced telogen (resting phase) hairs by 39% vs an increase of 5% (P = 0.00003)
  • Reduced vellus (fine) hair presence by 30% vs 2% (P = 0.0009)
  • Improved the anagen:telogen hair ratio by 80x compared to minoxidil alone (P = 0.00001)
 
Even compared to PRP monotherapy, the combination led to significantly better outcomes in hair shaft diameter, density, and scalp hair cycle ratios. The data strongly supports combining topical and injectable therapies for patients with androgenic alopecia.

💊 Oral Minoxidil: An Emerging Option

 
While minoxidil is traditionally applied topically, low-dose oral minoxidil is becoming a preferred option for many patients due to ease of use and growing clinical support.
  • Typical doses: 0.25–2.5 mg daily, often starting lower in women
  • Shown to be as effective or better than topical in certain cases
  • Better adherence due to no mess or scalp irritation
  • ⚠️ Common side effect: hypertrichosis (excess hair growth), especially at higher doses or in women
  • Rare but serious side effects (e.g., edema, tachycardia) require monitoring in select patients
  •  

🧬 The Science Behind Our Double-Spin PRP Method

 
At Be Well Berlin, we use a double-spin technique that’s proven to increase platelet yield and reduce unwanted white blood cells. This leads to more potent results and fewer inflammatory effects.

In the study by Amanda et al. (PMC4005024):
“Processing 3.5 mL of blood at 100×g for 10 minutes (first spin), then 400×g for 10 minutes (second spin), while extracting two-thirds of the remaining plasma, produced platelet concentrations 5× above baseline, with 70–80% platelet recovery.”

This method preserves platelet integrity and growth factor activity, while minimizing WBCs (which may otherwise contribute to inflammation). It’s one of the reasons we see such strong patient outcomes with our PRP protocol.
 

🔴 Red Light Therapy for Hair Regrowth


Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as red light therapy, is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that helps stimulate hair follicles and improve scalp circulation — especially in early to moderate hair thinning.
This light therapy:
  • Encourages hair follicles to shift into the growth (anagen) phase
  • Increases ATP production and cellular energy at the scalp
  • Can be safely combined with PRP, minoxidil, or oral treatments
We often recommend adding red light therapy as a supportive tool to strengthen results from medical and hormonal approaches.
