The Benefits of PRP for Hair Restoration
Hair loss can severely affect self-confidence and self-esteem, and over-the-counter products barely help the issue while other treatments can feel too invasive and drastic.
Platelet-rich plasma or a PRP hair restoration treatment offers a non-invasive solution to those who wish to stimulate their natural hair growth. A PRP treatment helps you achieve long-lasting results to make you feel like yourself again.
What is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP is a concentrated solution taken from your blood that has been medically formulated to be enhanced with plasma platelets and proteins. PRP contains growth factors and other healing agents that direct our tissue to heal and regenerate.
PRP for hair loss involves a PRP injection of your platelets into the vascular layer of your scalp. The procedure increases blood supply to the follicle, increases the shaft size, stimulates and maintains the growth phase of the hair, balances the hair growth cycle, and prevents further hair loss. PRP can activate dormant hair follicles into the growth phase for those who have thinning hair and androgenic alopecia or can maintain hair growth following a hair transplant.
How Does It Work?
Platelets contain healing growth factors that instruct tissue to regenerate and multiply. Growth factors and stem cells work together to reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicle and stimulate inactive follicles into the growth phase.
The patient’s blood is drawn and spun into a centrifuge, leaving only the plasma (that is rich in platelets and growth agents). These platelets are rich in protein that promotes hair restoration. Once injected into the vascular layer of the scalp, PRP nourishes and strengthens your hair follicles.
Depending on the condition of your hair and the response of your hair to the treatment, three to five sessions may be required for the desired results. New hair growth can be expected as early as two months after treatment, but typically takes six to eight months to give obvious results. Hair growth will continue to improve up to a year following the treatment.
What Are the Benefits?
PRP for hair loss is an innovative treatment with several benefits. If you are looking for the best solution to your hair thinning issue, here are five reasons why you should consider PRP.
· Non-Invasive
Hair restoration solutions such as transplants are complicated, painful, and invasive. PRP treatments are non-invasive and do not involve a long recovery process.
· Safe
PRP injections cause minimal side effects. You may experience minor bruising or redness where the injection is done, but that typically resolves itself within a few days post-treatment.
· Effective
This treatment addresses the root cause of hair thinning. It is a long-term solution that stimulates your hair follicles to activate the growth of your hair.
· Convenient
No incisions are made during a PRP treatment and there is no downtime. It is easy, painless, and convenient. The procedure only takes about forty-five minutes.
· Versatile
Unlike other hair restoration treatments, PRP therapy is completely customizable. Your therapist assesses your hair thinning and tailors a treatment plan to give the best results for your hair.
