When your hair starts changing, it’s about more than what you see in the mirror—it’s about how you feel showing up every day. At Duluth Med Spa by Aging Young Aesthetics, we take a personalized, science-informed approach to scalp and hair care. PRP Hair Restoration uses your own platelet-rich plasma as part of a provider-directed treatment plan. We also offer microneedling with Ariessence™ pure PDGF+ applied topically after the procedure as part of a cosmetic post-procedure protocol. Every plan is tailored to your hair pattern, scalp health, medical history, and goals—without surgery.
If you’re noticing changes in your hairline, volume, or texture, our advanced restoration therapies can address:
Your provider may pair PRP or microneedling protocols with prescription oral or topical options, scalp-care protocols, or at-home laser therapy when appropriate. Ariessence™ pure PDGF+ is used only as a topical cosmetic after microneedling and is not injected. Below, learn more about the role of each option.
A natural approach using your body’s own growth factors.
PRP therapy begins with a simple blood draw. We isolate the platelet-rich portion—packed with your body’s natural growth factors—and reintroduce it to the scalp through microneedling or gentle injections, according to your provider’s treatment plan. These growth factors help repair follicles, strengthen existing strands, and encourage new growth over time.

Topical cosmetic care used after microneedling.
Ariessence™ pure PDGF+ is a topical cosmetic formulation containing recombinant PDGF-BB and hyaluronic acid.

No blood draw is required for the Ariessence product itself, and your provider will determine whether it is appropriate for your microneedling plan.

Hair restoration can include more than in-office procedures. Depending on your medical history, pattern of hair loss, and goals, your provider may recommend prescription oral or topical hair-loss treatment as part of an individualized plan. Prescription therapy requires medical review and is not appropriate for everyone.
Your provider can also recommend how prescription options may fit alongside PRP, microneedling, scalp care, or at-home laser therapy when appropriate.

PRP and microneedling protocols are performed in a clean, comfortable medical setting. For PRP, a small sample of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma. PRP may then be introduced to the scalp through microneedling or injection according to your provider’s treatment plan. When Ariessence™ pure PDGF+ is used, it is applied topically after microneedling and is not injected. Session length and comfort vary by the services included in your personalized plan.
Mild redness or sensitivity can occur after scalp microneedling or PRP. Your provider will give you individualized aftercare instructions based on the services performed. Hair-response timelines vary depending on the cause of hair loss and the treatments included in your plan. When PRP or prescription therapy is recommended, your provider will review the expected timeline, maintenance plan, and realistic goals with you.
