Why We Built Affirmed
I started Affirmed to make PRP for hair growth accessible
My partner and I have both struggled with our hair for years. We’ve done everything from taking minoxidil and finasteride, to hair transplants, to PRP
Of all the evidence-backed hair restoration treatments, PRP was expensive, difficult to understand, and hard to access. Even as a doctor, I found it difficult to figure out:
- how to tell if a given PRP treatment is high quality
- who is qualified and doing it well
- how much it should cost and how to plan for it financially
So we built Affirmed to address each:
- our PRP protocol is anchored in peer-reviewed research, and we only use FDA-cleared devices
- our patients are seen by a licensed physician at every visit
- our pricing breakdown is fully transparent and the cost is spread evenly with a membership

Values and Philosophy
Many people have thought at some point that they don't want to ‘waste the doctor's time’ on things they can figure out on their own, or things that aren't traditionally medical, like hair thinning and how to prevent it. We are committed to addressing hair thinning as a medical condition to diagnose, treat, and prevent.
The following values guide our practice and our interactions with you:
Science-Based
We offer treatments the medical community agrees are safe and effective. We closely monitor research to keep our practice up-to-date.
Gold-Standard
We do things the right way even when it’s costly or difficult. We always entrust licensed medical professionals with your treatment.
Transparent
We share what you’d want to know to make a decision, including where your money is going and what you’re getting for it
