We all invest a lot of energy into our hair. If it is perfecting the color or finding that one product that handles the Jersey Shore humidity, your hair is a major part of how you show up. When you start noticing a little extra shedding or a part line that feels different than it used to, it is natural to pause. But maintaining your density is often just another layer of smart self-care, right alongside your skincare routine. At Belladerma Med Spa in Toms River, we view hair restoration as a proactive maintenance step rather than a drastic overhaul. We use PRP to help support your natural growth factors, wake up tired follicles, and keep your hair looking full, healthy, and exactly like you.
Biology, Borrowed From You
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy utilizes the regenerative power naturally found in your blood to encourage hair growth. Your blood contains platelets—cells responsible for clotting and healing—which are packed with growth factors. When concentrated and reintroduced to the scalp, these growth factors act like a biological signal to your hair follicles.
The process forces follicles that have become sluggish or dormant to shift back into the "anagen" (growth) phase. Because this treatment uses your own biological material, the risk of allergic reaction is virtually non-existent. It is a strictly medical procedure performed in our luxury clinical setting, ensuring the highest standards of safety and sterility under the guidance of our medical director, Dr. Christopher Godek.
Density, Coverage, And Defense
We find that patients appreciate PRP because it addresses the biological root of thinning without synthetic chemicals or daily maintenance.
Timing Is Everything
PRP is powerful, but it relies on active hair follicles. It works best for patients in the earlier stages of thinning or "androgenetic alopecia" (pattern baldness). If the follicle has been completely dormant for years and the scalp is shiny, PRP will likely not be effective.
Ideal candidates include:
Our specialists, including Marisa Breeze, PA-C, and our aesthetic team, will assess your scalp health during your consultation to ensure this is the right clinical pathway for you.
Thirty Minutes, Minimal Fuss
The appointment is efficient and follows a strict medical protocol. We begin by drawing a small amount of blood from your arm, similar to a standard lab test. We spin this sample in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the gold-colored plasma, which contains the concentrated platelets.
Once prepared, your provider injects the PRP into specific target areas of the scalp using a fine needle. While the scalp can be sensitive, we utilize techniques to maximize comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of quick pinches. The entire process takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Carry On With Your Day
One of the primary advantages of PRP is the lack of recovery time. You may experience mild tenderness or a feeling of "tightness" in the scalp for about 24 hours. Some patients notice slight redness at the injection sites, but this is easily covered by your hair.
You can shower and wash your hair the following morning. We advise avoiding rigorous exercise or saunas for the first 24 hours to allow the plasma to settle and do its work. You can drive yourself home and resume normal activities immediately—whether that’s heading back to work in Wall or meeting friends for dinner.
Patience Pays Off
Hair growth is a slow physiological process. PRP is not an overnight fix; it is a cumulative therapy. Most patients begin to notice a decrease in shedding after the second or third treatment. Visible improvement in thickness and new growth typically becomes apparent around the three to four-month mark.
Protocol usually involves a series of three to four treatments spaced one month apart. Once your desired density is achieved, maintenance is straightforward—usually a single touch-up session every six to twelve months to keep the follicles stimulated.
Investment in Longevity
Pricing reflects the medical preparation of the plasma and the expertise required for precise injection. Since PRP requires a series of visits to be effective, we often structure pricing in packages to offer the best value.
We believe in transparency. During your consultation, we will provide a clear breakdown of the costs for your initial series and projected maintenance. We also accept financing options like CareCredit for patients who prefer to manage their investment over time.
The Clinical Advantage
You have choices for aesthetic care in New Jersey, but scalp injections require medical precision, not just a spa environment. Belladerma is the sister practice to The Godek Center for Plastic Surgery. This means our protocols are overseen by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and our injectors are medically trained specialists who understand cranial anatomy and hair physiology. We combine this clinical rigor with a supportive, high-end environment that prioritizes your comfort.

Yes, particularly in the early stages. PRP can strengthen the miniaturizing hairs at the hairline and stall further recession. However, it cannot grow hair on a forehead that has been bare for years; it requires a living follicle to function.
PRP is non-surgical and works to save and thicken existing hair. A transplant moves hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. Many patients use PRP after a transplant to improve graft survival and speed up healing.
Absolutely. We use sterile, single-use kits for every patient. Because we are re-injecting your own fluid, there is no risk of cross-contamination or rejection. It is as safe as a routine blood test at your doctor’s office.
Yes. If you wish to cover the area immediately after your appointment, you can wear a clean, loose-fitting hat. We recommend avoiding tight baseball caps for at least 6 hours to prevent unnecessary pressure on the treated areas.
Androgenetic alopecia is a chronic condition, meaning the body will constantly try to thin the hair. While you won't need the initial intensive series forever, maintenance treatments once or twice a year are necessary to preserve your results long-term.
