Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for (PRP) Hair Restoration

Ready to say goodbye to hair loss and hello to a new you? Introducing PRP Hair Restoration, a game-changing treatment that will bring back your hair and your confidence. The goal is to wake up dormant hair follicles and stimulate new healthy hair growth resulting in significant hair regrowth.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Hair Restoration?

PRP Hair Restoration, short for Platelet Rich Plasma, is a revolutionary treatment that uses your own cells to stimulate natural growth. Here’s how it works:

STEP 1 - We draw a simple blood sample from your arm.

STEP 2 – We spin the blood in a centrifuge to separate out the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells.

STEP 3 - The magic potion is then injected into the scalp, directly into the areas of hair loss.

The goal? Wake up dormant hair follicles and stimulate new healthy hair growth.

How Does PRP Work for Hair Loss?

PRP treatment works for hair loss by using the growth factors in platelet-rich plasma to stimulate growth. When PRP is injected into the scalp it releases a cocktail of growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). These growth factors work together to promote hair follicle health, increase hair density and growth. By increasing blood flow to the hair follicles and promoting cell proliferation PRP helps to wake up dormant hair follicles and kick start the hair growth cycle making it a solution for hair loss.

Who is Hair Loss Treatment For?

The good news is that PRP Hair Restoration is for men and women with hair loss and hair thinning. So, if you have hair issues, you can get this treatment. Plus, PRP is proven, safe, and highly effective. The number of sessions will vary depending on your situation, but typically, a series of treatments every few weeks will give you the best results.

What will Stimulate Hair Growth?

Results may be sooner than you think. PRP injections are injected into the scalp, directly into the areas of hair loss to stimulate hair growth. In fact, studies have shown 46% of patients see results in just 3 months of PRP Hair Restoration. And it gets even better - this is a low risk treatment. Discomfort varies. We apply a medical grade numbing cream and/or do a scalp nerve block to help with comfort. No downtime but you will have a messy head of hair when you leave our office!

Everyone is Different

While PRP Hair Restoration has many benefits, remember everyone is unique. PRP results vary from person to person, some see rapid results and others take more time. Some see rapid results, others need a little more time. As with any medical treatment, talk to one of our doctors before you start.

Meet Exosomes, an Alternative to PRP

If a patient can’t get PRP due to a platelet disorder or other health conditions we have Exosome therapy as an alternative. While PRP and exosome therapy are effective some patients may still want a hair transplant for more hair regeneration. Exosomes can be plant based or derived from bone marrow. Exosomes are the next big thing in hair restoration and skin care which bypasses the need to draw your own blood to get PRP. Exosome hair restoration involves injections of a serum that contains growth factors, cytokines and messenger RNA that signals the hair follicle cells to start growing new hair. According to some reviews exosome therapy is showing promise as a treatment for hair loss and androgenic alopecia.

PRP Treatment Process

The PRP treatment process is simple and involves the following steps:

1. Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and put into a special tube.
2. Centrifugation: The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet rich plasma from the other blood components.
3. Preparation: The platelet rich plasma is then activated with a small amount of calcium chloride.
4. Injection: The PRP is injected into the scalp with a small needle into the areas of hair loss.
5. Microneedling: Some practitioners may also do microneedling to create micro-injuries in the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

This uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth and increase hair density.

Number of Sessions

The number of PRP sessions needed can vary depending on your hair loss condition and desired results. Typically 3-6 sessions 4-6 weeks apart is recommended to get optimal results. Maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain and enhance the results of PRP therapy to get long term hair growth and health.
