Hair Restoration

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment for hair loss that has gained popularity in recent years due to its natural approach and promising results. PRP therapy utilizes the body’s own growth factors to stimulate hair growth and improve hair health.

 

What is PRP?

PRP is a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood. These platelets contain growth factors that are essential for healing and tissue regeneration. By isolating these growth factors, PRP can be used to promote hair growth in areas affected by hair thinning or hair loss.

 

How PRP Therapy Works

1. Blood Collection: A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, typically from the arm.

2. Centrifugation: The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the platelets from other blood components.

3. Preparation: The concentrated platelets (PRP) are collected and prepared for injection.

4. Injection:  The PRP is injected into the scalp in areas experiencing hair thinning or loss. This process is usually performed with a fine needle and can cover multiple areas of concern.

 

The growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, promoting the growth phase of the hair cycle. They also enhance blood supply to the hair follicles, which can help to strengthen existing hair and encourage the growth of new hair. PRP therapy can improve hair thickness, hair count, and hair density.

Benefits of PRP Therapy for Hair Loss

• Natural Solution: PRP uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections.

• Non-Surgical: The procedure is minimally invasive, involving only injections.

• Minimal Downtime: Patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

• Improved Hair Quality: PRP can result in thicker, healthier hair.

 

PRP therapy typically involves a series of treatments for optimal results. Most protocols recommend three initial treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months. The exact schedule can vary based on individual needs and response to treatment. 

 

While individual results can vary, many patients notice improvements in hair thickness and growth within a few months of starting treatment. PRP is particularly effective for early-stage hair loss and can be used in combination with other hair restoration treatments for enhanced results.
