PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) FOR HAIR LOSS
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, is a nonsurgical and natural anti-aging treatment that helps reverse and slow hair loss in men and women. Your aesthetics expert will extract platelets from your own blood and inject them into the scalp, in order to induce healing, promote collagen production, restore thinning hair, slow the rate of hair loss and activate the growth of newer, younger hair follicles.
PRP hair restoration therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for both age-related hair loss and alopecia areata, a disease that causes hair thinning in young, otherwise healthy people.
Platelet Rich Plasma for hair is a safe, relatively inexpensive, and less invasive alternative treatment option to hair transplant surgery. Our medical practitioners recommend this treatment because it helps restore thinning hair, stimulates the follicles and slows down the rate of hair loss. In some cases, it may even help new hair grow.
This advanced hair restoration solution works because platelets in your blood contain cell-signaling agents and growth factors that activate the body’s tissue rejuvenation and healing systems. Plasma is the fluid in blood that carries the platelets, along with red blood cells and white blood cells. During a PRP procedure, your doctor or nurse practitioner uses a special machine to separate the platelets from your blood, so the growth-factor rich plasma can then be injected into areas of concern.
When injected into the scalp, PRP increases blood flow to the hair follicles, can help stimulate new hair growth, and lengthens the anagen (active) growth phase of existing hair, in order to slow hair loss. PRP therapy is natural, effective and nonsurgical, with no downtime or significant safety risks. The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes.
