PRP hair restoration is the most effective way to activate your body’s natural hair growth capabilities. This is a natural, regenerative treatment wherein components derived from a small sample of your blood activate the dormant hair follicles on your scalp. This treatment can help you regain a full head of dense and luscious hair.
Intro to PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a component of your blood with a high concentration of growth factors. The growth factors are the components of your blood responsible for natural healing and growth. When you’re injured, the growth factors in your blood facilitate skin cell regeneration and blood clot formation. In recent years, PRP therapy has gained widespread prominence in numerous aspects of healthcare, including skin treatments, hair restoration, pain treatments, and more.
About PRP Hair Restoration
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment wherein PRPs derived from a small sample of your blood are injected into your scalp. The growth factors in the PRP produce new stem cells at the roots of your hair follicles, thereby awakening them to start hair growth again. In most cases, hair thinning and hair loss occur when certain hair follicles go dormant, but they’re not gone altogether. PRP therapy awakens the dormant hair follicles and encourages blood flow to the scalp, thereby facilitating hair growth.
Benefits:
- Non-surgical treatment
- No pain or discomfort
- Activates dormant hair follicles
- Promotes cellular growth
- Improves blood flow to the scalp
- Concludes within 30 minutes
- No downtime
FAQs
Am I a suitable candidate for PRP hair restoration?
You’re a suitable candidate for PRP hair restoration if you’re looking for natural means of restoring your hair and reversing male or female pattern baldness. However, you should be in generally good physical and mental health and have realistic expectations from the procedure. Our cosmetic providers will also review your medical history to determine if you’re a suitable candidate — a history of blood disease or disorders, pregnancy, and certain skin conditions can impact your candidacy.
What happens during PRP hair restoration?
Your PRP hair restoration starts with a simple blood draw from your arms via a small syringe. The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge and spun to isolate the platelet-rich plasmas from other components. The final PRP product is drawn into a syringe and injected into the targeted areas on your scalp to activate the dormant hair follicles. The number of injections depends on your specific condition and requirements.
What are the side effects of PRP hair restoration?
You might experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, and discomfort around the treatment areas, but you can resume most of your daily activities immediately.
When will I see the results of PRP hair restoration?
Most patients need 4 to 6 PRP hair restoration sessions spaced a month apart each for optimal results. The results of the treatment will become evident several months after the first session. You may also need one to two sessions a year after the final treatment to maintain the results. Your cosmetic provider will curate the ideal frequency for your specific needs.
