Losing your hair can be difficult. It can change your appearance, hurt your self-esteem, and can cause you to lose confidence in your daily life. If you have thin hair or if you’re losing your hair, you have likely looked at many different options, trying to find a solution that works.

One option that is very effective in helping with hair loss is PRP hair treatment.

What is PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP hair treatment stands for platelet-rich plasma treatments. Platelets are small blood cells that help your body heal and recover. For instance, if a blood vessel is damaged, platelets will rush to the site of the damage and encourage clotting that will fix the damage. PRP is plasma that contains many more platelets than are typically found in the blood.

This plasma is obtained from the patient. The blood is then separated in a centrifuge and the platelet-rich plasma is removed and injected into areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired.

How Does it Work?

One of the ways that PRP hair treatment works is that platelets encourage healing in your body by increasing the production of new cells. Through this process, the platelets regenerate tissue and heal the body. When used on your scalp, this helps stimulate inactive hair follicles and encourage hair growth.

The process also works to stimulate collagen production in the body. Collagen provides structural support to the body and strengthens the framework of cells and tissues.

The natural healing processes that are stimulated through PRP treatments cause your body to grow hair while also thickening your existing hair. As a result, both men and women can see additional hair growth.

It typically takes a few months for results to be visible and several treatments may be required to achieve the desired effect. Our team will help you understand what to expect and provide you with a treatment plan that will give the greatest benefit.

What are the Benefits?

As mentioned, there are many hair growth strategies and treatments out there. However, the reality is many of them don’t work or have limited benefits. PRP hair treatments, however, have many proven benefits for a wide range of people in different situations.

• Non-Invasive
• Unlike surgeries, transplants, and other treatments, PRP is a non-invasive process. You may experience minor soreness or discomfort in the injection area, but there is no significant downtime and you will be able to go back to your normal activities quickly.

• Safe
•  PRP treatments use your body’s own cells. This means there is no chance of an allergic reaction or a rejection. A trained professional can ensure that you receive safe and effective treatment.

•  Effective
• It has been proven that PRP is an effective treatment for hair loss. This is especially true in situations of androgenetic alopecia, which is sometimes known as “male-pattern baldness.” This hair loss condition can occur in both men and women. It often results in thinning hair in the crown or front but can occur across the entire scalp.

• Convenient
•  As mentioned, there is no significant recovery time following a PRP session. Each treatment typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes, and you can return to your normal activities shortly after.

• Versatile
• PRP treatments can work in many different areas, and the injections can be targeted to your particular issue.
