PRP Hair Restoration For Thinning Hair
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is considered the best way to treat thinning hair because it increases the thickness of the hair, and prolongs the active phase of the hair’s growth cycle.
Based on clinical studies conducted, the use of blood platelets for thinning hair has been shown to increase hair thickness and hair count and improve the strength of the hair root. PRP hair restoration is also beneficial because it produces natural-looking results.
PRP hair restoration is most effective for people with androgenic alopecia, which is a hereditary hair thinning condition that occurs with aging. Androgenic alopecia in men is often referred to as male pattern baldness.
How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
The process starts with the doctor collecting a small sample of your blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from the rest of the blood. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the areas of thinning hair.
PRP is the golden liquid found in your blood. The platelets contain a concentration of growth factors that are responsible for healing tissue or damaged skin. When injected into the scalp, the growth factors stimulate activity within the hair follicles and promote the growth of new hair.
PRP for hair restoration is a comfortable, in-office treatment that takes approximately 30-60 minutes to complete.
PRP hair restoration is completely safe, and since your blood is used for the process, there is no chance of you having an allergic reaction to the treatment.
Is There Any Downtime?
Downtime is minimal after PRP hair restoration. Patients may experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site but these side-effects should resolve within 24 hours.
When Will I See Results?
Most patients notice some hair growth about 3 months after PRP hair restoration. However, a series of treatments is required to achieve optimal results. Sessions are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart. PRP treatments can be repeated every 6-12 months to maintain hair growth effects.
