PRP Hair Loss & Restoration
What Is Platelet Rich Plasma?
Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Loss: (PRP)
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of the patient's own blood plasma, containing about three to five times more platelets than what is typically found in the bloodstream. It is enriched with platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), and other bioactive proteins that support wound healing and hair growth. Dermatologists have adopted the use of PRP following findings that elevated platelet levels in plasma can enhance hair growth by extending the active phase of the hair growth cycle.
PRP Hair Restoration Process
Utilizing PRP for hair restoration involves a meticulous three-step process where a sample of the patient's blood is drawn in-office. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. Next, the plasma is further spun to isolate the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), which is then injected into the scalp's hair follicles. Following the harvesting of PRP, it is carefully and precisely administered into the patient's scalp. This regimen typically consists of monthly treatments for three to four months, followed by sessions every six months, and ultimately once a year for maintenance. The frequency of injections will be tailored to factors such as your genetic predisposition, hair loss pattern and severity, age, and hormonal influences. Before the procedure commences, topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort, ensuring a swift and comfortable process with minimal downtime.
