Hair Restoration With Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Thinning hair and hair loss is something that many men and women have to face as they age. But it isn’t something that just needs to be dealt with; instead, you can take action and restore your hair with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Undergoing a hair restoration treatment with PRP can increase your hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle itself.
Benefits
Non-surgical: PRP uses your own blood to promote natural hair regrowth.
Minimal downtime: The procedure is minimally invasive with little to no recovery time.
Improves hair quality: Not only does it stimulate new growth, but it also enhances the thickness, texture, and health of your existing hair.
Customized to you: PRP therapy can be tailored to your individual needs and hair loss pattern.
Ideal Candidates
PRP hair restoration is ideal for men and women experiencing thinning hair or mild to moderate hair loss due to genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, stress, or other conditions. The best candidates still have active hair follicles, even if the hair is thinning. It’s particularly effective for those in the early stages of hair loss or for those who want to improve hair thickness.
However, PRP may not be suitable for those with severe hair loss where follicles are completely dormant or scarred. Our specialists will assess your scalp and hair health during a consultation to determine if PRP is the right option for you.
How It Works
The PRP process begins with a simple blood draw. Your blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors that promote tissue regeneration and healing. This concentrated PRP is then injected into targeted areas of your scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred. These growth factors help rejuvenate dormant or weak hair follicles, stimulating new hair growth and improving the thickness and health of existing hair.
Recovery and Results
PRP therapy involves minimal downtime, with most patients able to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated areas, but these side effects typically subside within a day or two.
Hair regrowth is a gradual process. Results may begin to appear within a few months, with noticeable improvements in hair thickness and density after multiple sessions. Optimal results are typically seen after 3-6 treatments spaced several weeks apart. To maintain results, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended.
