Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
Platelet Rich Plasmatherapy (PRP) offers the opportunity for hair growth for those patients wanting a more aggressive nonsurgical approach to treatment. Platelets in your blood have growth factors that are essential for helping to rejuvenate your hair follicles. By drawing your blood, centrifuging it to separate the platelets, and then re-injecting them into your scalp, hair growth can be stimulated without an invasive procedure.
The PRP method is effective, and has been shown to work in other areas of the body as well. Results may vary per patient however, so it is important to speak with your PRP professional about your specific needs.
The Procedure
PRP therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, and most people can resume their normal activities immediately afterward. The treatment area may be sore for two or three days, and the patient may notice some bruising.
The effect of treatment is most noticeable after at least six months. Repeat treatments may be necessary to maintain the improvement in hair growth and texture.
RECOMMENDED SESSIONS: minimum 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart or until the desired result is obtained.
POSSIBLE DOWNTIME: No downtime
POST TREATMENT CARE
- Avoid sun exposure for 48 hours post treatment.
- Avoid washing the treatment area for 48 hours
