The Dr. G
Hair Restore
Protocol.

If you are experiencing thinning, shedding, a receding hairline, or a noticeable reduction in hair density — regardless of the cause — there is a very good chance we can help. The protocol works for both men and women at any stage of hair loss. The most important first step is a consultation, where Dr. Golberg will evaluate your pattern of loss and determine which protocol is appropriate for your biology.

Both protocols begin with the same foundation — PRP/PRF therapy, low-level laser therapy, a custom IV formulation, and laboratory blood analysis to identify the underlying cause of your hair loss. The Restore+ Protocol adds exosome therapy, which introduces advanced cell-signaling proteins that instruct your follicle stem cells to regenerate more aggressively. For patients with more significant thinning, longer duration of loss, or those who want the most accelerated results available, the Restore+ is the recommended path. Dr. Golberg will advise you on which is right for you during your consultation.

Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles — cell-signaling messengers — that carry growth factors, cytokines, and messenger RNA capable of instructing your follicle stem cells to regenerate. While PRP and PRF use your own blood-derived growth factors, exosomes introduce a concentrated external regenerative signal that amplifies the body's response at the cellular level. They do not replace PRP — they work synergistically with it, creating a more powerful regenerative environment than either therapy alone. Exosome therapy represents the most advanced non-surgical technology currently available in hair medicine, and it is a central component of the Restore+ Protocol.

Most patients begin noticing reduced shedding after the first session and visible improvement in density and thickness by the second or third. Because the protocol works by stimulating your body's own regenerative processes, results build progressively over the course of the three sessions. The full outcome is typically visible three to six months after completing the protocol, as the hair growth cycle completes its natural course.

The scalp injections involve minor discomfort. A topical numbing agent is applied beforehand, and most patients describe the sensation as pressure rather than pain. The laser therapy and IV components are entirely comfortable. Most patients leave the office and return to their day without any interruption to their routine.

Because most clinics skip the most important question — why is this happening. Hair loss is almost never just a hair problem. It can be driven by hormonal shifts, nutritional deficiencies, inflammatory markers, thyroid dysfunction, or a combination of factors. Without understanding the underlying cause, any treatment is an educated guess. Dr. Golberg uses the blood drawn during your PRP session to run a targeted panel that identifies what your body is actually doing. The protocol is then informed by that data — not assumptions.

Dr. Golberg recommends three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. This spacing is intentional — it aligns with the hair growth cycle and allows each session to build on the cellular response initiated by the previous one. Following the initial protocol, maintenance sessions of once or twice per year are recommended to sustain and protect your results.

The Dr. G Hair Restore Protocol is a private-pay procedure and is not covered by insurance. Pricing is $900 per session for the Restore Protocol and $1,500 per session for the Restore+ Protocol. Given that most patients complete three sessions, we encourage you to discuss your goals with Dr. Golberg during the consultation so you can make an informed decision about which path is right for you.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are both derived from your own blood, but they differ significantly in how they work. PRP is produced using a standard centrifuge process that isolates platelets and delivers a concentrated burst of growth factors. PRF is a more advanced, next-generation preparation that uses a slower centrifugation method to preserve a natural fibrin matrix — a scaffold that traps platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells together. This fibrin structure allows PRF to release growth factors gradually over a period of days to weeks, rather than all at once. The result is a longer, more sustained regenerative signal to your hair follicles. Dr. Golberg's protocol uses both PRP and PRF together because the combination provides an immediate growth factor release from PRP alongside the slow, sustained release from PRF — creating a more complete and effective regenerative response than either therapy alone.

Several things. First, the laboratory diagnostic — no standard PRP clinic investigates the biological cause of your hair loss before treating it. Second, the custom IV formulation, which addresses the nutritional deficiencies most commonly associated with thinning hair systemically, not just at the scalp. Third, Dr. Golberg uses both PRP and PRF — a more advanced preparation that provides a slower, sustained release of growth factors through a natural fibrin matrix, going beyond what standard PRP-only clinics offer. Fourth, the addition of exosome therapy in the Restore+ Protocol, which represents a significant advancement beyond what most clinics offer. And fifth — Dr. Golberg performs every session personally. You are not treated by a technician or a PA. The physician who designed your protocol is the one administering it.

Yes — and this is one of the most common situations we see. Standard PRP protocols at most clinics use a basic centrifuge process and deliver growth factors without investigating why the follicles are struggling in the first place. If you have tried PRP and not seen results, the most likely explanation is that the underlying cause of your hair loss was never addressed. Dr. Golberg's diagnostic approach identifies that cause — and the addition of PRF, laser therapy, a custom IV, and optionally exosomes creates a significantly more comprehensive response than PRP alone.
