Hair Restoration

Hair restoration at The Empress LA is a non-surgical, regenerative approach to thinning hair. Rather than covering the problem, these treatments work at the follicle to stimulate the scalp's own repair processes, improve density, and support stronger, healthier growth over time. We offer two approaches. Empress Crown uses ProCell microchanneling to deliver stem cell-derived growth factors into the scalp. Empress Halo uses PRF, platelet-rich fibrin prepared from your own blood, injected at the level of the follicle. Both are used for androgenetic thinning, stress-related shedding, and hormonally driven hair loss. Schedule a consultation and we will review which approach is right for you.

HOW IT WORKS

Empress Crown — ProCell Microchanneling

The ProCell serum delivers growth factors and cytokines derived from human mesenchymal stem cells, together with peptides that support the follicular environment. These signaling proteins act at the follicle to support the growth phase of the hair cycle and improve overall scalp condition.

The serum is delivered by microchanneling, which creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the scalp. Those channels increase local blood flow and trigger the body’s own healing response, while allowing the serum to reach the follicle rather than sitting on the surface.

Empress Halo — PRF Scalp Injections

Empress Halo uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) prepared from your own blood. A small blood draw is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate platelets, white cells, and fibrin into a gel-like matrix. Because no anticoagulant is used, the fibrin scaffold stays intact and releases growth factors gradually over several days rather than all at once.

The PRF is then injected directly into the scalp at the level of the follicle, across the areas of thinning. Since it is prepared from your own blood, there is no risk of allergic reaction or rejection.

PRF is often chosen for more advanced thinning. A series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typical, followed by maintenance. Schedule a consultation and we will review which option is right for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your session begins with a cleanse of the treatment area, followed by a topical numbing solution applied to the scalp for comfort. Using a precision microchanneling device, the ProCell serum is worked into the freshly created microchannels at the follicle level.

Most patients feel a light prickling or tingling sensation. Afterward the scalp may appear slightly pink and feel warm or tight. There is no significant downtime, and you can resume most daily activities the same day. Over the following weeks, expect decreased shedding, improved scalp condition, and a gradual increase in density.

FAQs

How much treatment will I need?

A series of four to six sessions is recommended, spaced two to four weeks apart, so the follicle is stimulated repeatedly across the growth cycle. Your exact schedule is set at consultation. Many patients notice reduced shedding and improved scalp condition by the second treatment, with increased density developing as the series progresses. Maintenance sessions every three to six months help sustain results.

A topical numbing cream is applied to the scalp before the microneedling infusion begins. Most patients describe the sensation as light tapping or tingling rather than pain. Discomfort is typically minimal and short-lived. Tell your provider at any point if you would like the treatment paused or the depth adjusted.

Downtime is minimal. Immediately after your session you may notice scalp redness, warmth, or mild sensitivity; these effects typically resolve within 24 hours. Do not wash your hair for the first 24 hours, so the serum can fully absorb. Avoid harsh shampoos, heat styling, and scalp manipulation during that window. Most patients resume their regular routine the next day.

Results develop progressively. Many patients notice decreased shedding, improved scalp condition, and fine new growth within the first month. As follicle regeneration continues, fuller and thicker hair typically emerges over the next two to three months. With the full series of four treatments, results generally last 6 to 12 months, depending on the cause of the hair loss and individual factors. Maintenance sessions every three to six months are recommended to sustain growth.

The Empress Crown treatment is well-tolerated by most, with side effects that are typically mild and temporary. You may experience slight redness, tenderness, or a tingling sensation in the treated area, usually resolving within 24–48 hours. Because microneedling is involved, there’s a small chance of pinpoint bleeding or minor swelling, though this is rare when performed properly. Serious reactions are extremely uncommon but can include infection or allergic response to ingredients; which is why a thorough consultation is performed beforehand. At The Empress LA, your safety, comfort, and energetic integrity are always prioritized.

Arrive with clean, product-free hair. Do not apply gels, oils, or dry shampoo, which can block absorption. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen and aspirin for 48 hours beforehand unless they are prescribed to you, as they may interfere with the healing response. If you bruise easily, you may take arnica the day before with your provider’s approval. Hydrate well the day before and the day of your appointment.
