Diagnosis-first, non-surgical hair & scalp care · Austin, TX
The treatment isn’t the differentiator. The diagnosis is.
PRP is everywhere in Austin — med spas sell it by the session, sometimes for less than a dinner out. So here’s the uncomfortable truth this page owes you: PRP without a diagnosis is a guess. The same treatment that helps one patient meaningfully can do little for another, because platelet-rich plasma is a tool — and tools only work when they’re matched to the job.
At PROGEN™ Trichology, PRP is never the starting point. It’s one option inside a physician-supervised plan, recommended only when your scalp evaluation shows your condition and stage are ones PRP can actually serve.
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from a small draw of your own blood, concentrated to isolate platelets — the cells that carry your body’s growth factors — and delivered to the scalp in areas of thinning. Because it’s autologous (from you), there’s no foreign substance involved.
Ask around Austin and you’ll hear every PRP story imaginable, from “it changed everything” to “total waste.” The variance usually comes down to four factors most patients never hear about:
Candidacy — PRP suits some conditions and stages far better than others. (Wrong condition, wrong result.)
Preparation quality — platelet concentration depends on protocol and equipment, and it varies widely across providers.
Series design — spacing, session count, and maintenance planning matter; a single stand-alone session is rarely a plan.
What it’s paired with — PRP often performs best as part of a combined protocol (with microfocused ultrasound or red light therapy) rather than alone.
We control all four: candidacy through diagnosis, preparation under medical supervision, series design from your findings, and combination protocols where they fit.
A small blood draw, in-clinic preparation, and precise delivery to the treatment areas, with comfort measures throughout. Sessions typically take under an hour; most patients resume their day with minimal interruption. Mild tenderness at the treatment sites can occur and generally resolves quickly.
Patients with early-to-moderate non-scarring loss — including pattern thinning in men and women — whose evaluation supports a regenerative approach. It’s also considered for patients who tried PRP elsewhere without results, where the missing piece was diagnosis or series design rather than the therapy itself. Candidacy is confirmed at your evaluation. Individual results vary.
For appropriately selected patients, PRP can support follicle activity — the evidence is strongest in certain patterns of non-scarring loss. Whether it fits your case is a diagnostic question, and that’s the question we answer first. Individual results vary.
Plans commonly involve an initial series followed by maintenance, but your exact schedule is set by your findings — and shown to you, with pricing, before you commit.
Possibly it wouldn’t — and if your evaluation shows PRP isn’t right for your condition, we’ll tell you that instead of selling you another round. When previous PRP failed for fixable reasons (candidacy, preparation, series design), a supervised, diagnosis-matched approach is a genuinely different treatment.
Market prices range widely — which mostly reflects how differently it’s prepared and planned. Your cost at PROGEN depends on your plan, presented transparently after your evaluation.
PRP uses your own blood, avoiding foreign-substance reactions. As with any procedure there are minor risks (tenderness, redness at sites), reviewed with you beforehand.
