Transform Your Hair With PRP Hair Restoration

In the field of hair restoration, evidence supports PRP therapy as a promising treatment option to promote hair growth. Prepared plasma is richer in platelets than normal blood. The plasma contains growth factors which induce follicle stem cells to shift from a dormant state to an active state, thus starting the process of hair production. This therapy gives strength to existing hair, reduces hair loss and is likely to increase the actual number and quality of hairs by stimulating the stem cells.

Blood is drawn from the patient in our office. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge and the PRP is separated and removed from the patient’s whole blood. An anesthesia block is injected into several areas of the scalp so the patient does not feel any pain. The highly concentrated platelet rich plasma (PRP) is administered in the areas of concern through a series of injections with a fine needle. No sedation or any medication is required. There is no downtime.

Patients with history of heavy smoking, drug and alcohol use. medical diagnosis such as platelet dysfunction syndromes, thrombocytopenias, hypofibrinogenaemia, hemodynamic instability, sepsis, acute and chronic Infections, chronic liver disease, anti-coagulation therapy, chronic skin diseases, cancer, metabolic and systemic disorders.

PRP has been used successfully in other medical and surgical disciplines for many years. The decision to use PRP is a personal decision and should be made after careful research, consideration and consultation with a physician. PRP is safe and natural because the procedure concentrates the good cells from your blood and injects them directly back into the area of concern. PRP involves using your own cells that are not modified or changed, and it will not be rejected by your immune system.

PRP should not be considered a “cure” for hair loss and no guarantee can be made about its effectiveness. Individual results vary with each patient. No claim of PRP efficacy in promoting hair growth can be made because there is no FDA approval that would allow such claims to be made.

This varies among individuals. Generally you will start seeing a benefit in three to six months. The maximum benefit is seen at twelve months. Improved hair appearance may last two to three years but then there will be a gradual return of the hair to its baseline without continued PRP therapy. This is why we suggest a series of three treatments (one every four months) to initiate the new hair growth, after the initial growth period dependant on the cause of hair loss. The benefits for hair growth may be prolonged with supplements or prescription medications.

Absolutely. As a non-surgical treatment option, we recommend PRP therapy along with Minoxidil and DHT blockers or for those patients who cannot tolerate or have side effects with these medications.
