Not all PRP is the same. Across South Florida—from Miami and Fort Lauderdale to Palm Beach and Broward County—patients seeking hair restoration often encounter cheap, standardized PRP treatments that leave them frustrated. Many clinics rely on non-physicians or general practitioners who use basic kits, skip measurements entirely, and—worst of all—skip proper anesthesia, making the procedure notoriously painful.
At Hairthetics, located in South Florida, we do things differently. Every single treatment is performed personally by Shiwei Han, MD, PhD, a Harvard-trained surgeon-scientist. We combine medical authority, advanced pain management, and rigorous science around one simple principle:
We Don’t Assume What’s in Your PRP. We Measure It.
Each treatment starts with approximately 120 mL of your own blood. Using the advanced Arthrex Angel® System, we concentrate it into approximately 4 mL of PrecisionPRP™ and measure the final preparation before treatment. A typical treatment contains approximately 14–15 billion measured platelets—delivered in maximum comfort.
Why Patients Switch to Hairthetics: The Pain-Free, Physician-Led Difference
Many patients come to Hairthetics after experiencing subpar results—and excruciating discomfort—elsewhere. Here is why PrecisionPRP™ for hair restoration is a completely different experience:
Feature / Metric | Standard Commercial PRP (Cheap Clinics / Medspas) | Hairthetics PrecisionPRP™ (Dr. Shiwei Han) |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Starting Volume | Low/Standard volume (~20–60 mL) | Substantial volume (~120 mL) to recover max platelets |
| Final PRP Volume | Varies widely, often unmeasured | Optimized ~4 mL for precise delivery |
| Platelet Count & Dose | Assumed/Theoretical (rarely known) | Measured ~14–15 Billion typical total dose |
| Technology Used | Basic tabletop centrifuge / generic kits | Advanced Arthrex Angel® System with optical sensing |
| Procedural Comfort | Often painful (minimal or no anesthesia) | Zero-Pain Commitment: Local nerve blocks & nitrous oxide available |
| Who Performs It? | Technicians, nurses, or general practitioners | 100% Physician-Administered by Harvard-trained Dr. Shiwei Han |
| Quality Control | None — results vary blindly | Rigorous Measurement of concentration and cellular composition |
While other treatments are simply labeled as “PRP,” that name alone fails to tell you what is actually delivered into your scalp. PrecisionPRP™ provides measurable medical precision:



Hairthetics utilizes the Arthrex Angel® System, an advanced automated platform trusted in advanced regenerative and orthobiologic medicine.
The system combines controlled centrifugation with optical sensing technology to precisely identify and separate blood components. However, elite technology requires elite oversight: the machine produces the concentrate, but Dr. Han measures what was actually produced to guarantee quality.

(Note: PRP cannot create new follicles where they are permanently absent or scarred.)
No. Standard commercial PRP utilizes small blood volumes, lacks measurement verification, and is frequently performed without proper anesthesia. PrecisionPRP™ uses a massive ~120 mL starting volume, advanced Arthrex Angel® processing, direct dosage measurement (~14–15 billion platelets), and advanced pain management protocols.
Cheap clinics and general practices often skip local nerve blocks or lack the medical license/physician oversight required to administer comprehensive local anesthesia. At Hairthetics, Dr. Han utilizes local nerve blocks and nitrous oxide to completely eliminate procedural discomfort.
A typical treatment delivers approximately 14–15 billion measured platelets concentrated into roughly 4 mL.
Unlike medspas where treatments are delegated to junior staff, every consultation, nerve block, and PrecisionPRP™ delivery at Hairthetics is performed entirely by Dr. Shiwei Han, MD, PhD.
Regeneration is gradual. Changes in shedding are often noticed first, followed by improvements in hair density and caliber over the subsequent months. Significant visual improvements are frequently observed after two treatments.
PRP hair restoration is typically considered an elective cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.
Not all PRP treatments are equal. The cost of a hair restoration procedure reflects the technology used, the volume of blood processed, whether the final platelet dose is actually measured, and the level of medical expertise and comfort options provided. Choosing a low-cost, unmeasured procedure with basic equipment and no proper anesthesia often results in a painful experience and unmeasurable outcomes. At Hairthetics, PrecisionPRP™ represents a comprehensive, physician-led protocol designed to deliver maximum clinical value through rigorous measurement and complete procedural comfort.
