Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for Natural Hair Growth

Could the tools to regrow your hair already be in your own body? With PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, the answer could very well be, yes! In PRP treatments, cells from your own blood are extracted, and enriched to stimulate hair growth by injecting it directly into your scalp. Vital components in your blood help your hair to grow naturally without surgery, toxins or other potentially harmful methods. If you’ve been let down by other hair growth approaches and have resigned yourself to thinning hair, PRP could be the solution.

Advantages of PRP for Hair Growth

Benefits of PRP for hair growth are numerous. Compared to other methods, you will typically have a higher rate of success with more natural, consistent results. Primary advantages also include:

Real hair growth stimulated by products within your own blood
No toxins or chemicals
Nonsurgical and noninvasive
Fast and convenient, treatments take about an hour
Very little discomfort or side-effects
Reliable, natural-looking results

How Does PRP Therapy Work?

The building blocks for creating better hair growth, speeding healing and repairing aging or damaged skin are held within your blood. By separating the platelets, which contain essential proteins, blood products and mesenchymal stem cells and concentrating them, we’re able to give you a higher dose of your body’s own restorative properties. It’s what your body would do naturally, if it could willfully direct a focused amount of its own blood to problem areas. This means it’s not only safe, but produces more natural results.

How Quickly Can I expect Results?

On a micro-level, you’ll be able to see improvements of your hair follicles in as little as three months. However, to see the full effect, it may require from 6 to 12 months after the completion of your last session. When PRP is used alone, treatments typically need to be done about once every month to two months, with increasing results each time. A single session is typically recommended after a year to maintain the results.

Is PRP Therapy Safe?

Unlike many other hair growth products and remedies, PRP has been used in medical procedures for over two decades with proven effectiveness. In both the U.S. and Europe, peer-reviewed medical articles and studies have been published regarding the safety and usefulness of PRP. Used extensively in a variety of applications, including oral surgery, cosmetic surgery, wound healing, and orthopedics, PRP has also shown promising results in hair growth for many patients. Since PRP is created from your own blood, there is very little chance of infection, allergic reaction or any other ill-effects.

Side-effects are extremely unlikely when PRP is used for hair-growth and typically involves some lingering numbness and redness of the scalp for a few hours post treatment. Your only real risk comes from getting the procedure done by inexperienced technicians using antiquated machinery. When this happens, you won’t get as reliable of results and will run a higher risk of side-effects like swelling or infection.

What to Expect During PRP Therapy

PRP therapy is a fast, painless and nonsurgical treatment which can be performed in just about an hour. First, your problem area will be found and analyzed, then medical grade photos will be taken. The blood sample you provide is carefully handled with sterile equipment and methods in to remove and treat platelets so they can be concentrated. This is then analyzed by a hematology system to record how much the platelets have been increased.Once your sample is ready, we prep your scalp with both an antiseptic to ward off infection and an anesthetic to entirely numb the area for a completely pain-free experience. We then precisely target your weak follicle areas with small, precise injections of PRP. Both electronic microneedling and Low-Level Laser Therapy are used to complete the session.

After the Treatment

Side-effects are minimal and typically only involve some pinkness around the hairline/forehead. Some patients (around 15%) may experience swelling which will becomes visible by the next day but resolves itself within 48 hours.

Can PRP Be Used with Other Treatments?

Yes, PRP can be used with other methods and is not intended to replace options like Minoxidil or dihydrotestosterone (DHT) blockers. These FDA approved treatments and/or hair transplant surgery can often be used in conjunction with PRP for even better results.

However, when done properly, PRP is painless and very low risk. Since the main components come right from your own blood there is little to no chance of infection, allergic reaction or rejection by your body.
