Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
PRP For Hair Loss
If you’re experiencing hair loss, you might think your only options are Rogaine, a hair transplant, or simply learning to live with it. But there’s a promising alternative: platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Originally developed in the 1970s to accelerate injury recovery in athletes, PRP has since been embraced by health practitioners for its wide range of applications, including its remarkable ability to stimulate new hair growth.
who often benefit from PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for hair restoration
Male Pattern Baldness
PRP works best when hair follicles are still alive but weakened. In early-stage male pattern baldness, PRP can: Increase hair thickness, Slow progression, Improve density, and Strengthen miniaturized follicles
Female Pattern Hair Loss
PRP is especially helpful because it’s non-hormonal and natural, making it attractive for women who prefer not to use medications. Women tend to see improvement in: Overall density, Volume, and Shedding reduction.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
PRP can speed up regrowth once the root cause is being addressed. Some common hormone related hair loss conditions are: Postpartum hair loss, Stress-related shedding (telogen effluvium), and Thyroid-related thinning (after stabilization)
PRP therapy is a series of injections of platelet-rich plasma taken from your own blood. (Platelets are cell fragments that are essential to blood clotting. Plasma is a yellowish liquid that makes up about half of a person’s blood volume.) Platelet-rich plasma contains proteins called growth factors that stimulate the growth of tissue. It’s believed that these growth factors, when injected in the scalp, are what trigger new hair growth.
When you arrive at your appointment, the doctor will draw about 1 to 2 ounces of blood by placing a needle in your arm. The needle contains a small amount of an anticoagulant to prevent clotting. It can cause a brief stinging sensation.
Next, the doctor will place your blood in a centrifuge to separate the plasma. The plasma is then injected in multiple locations on your scalp. Patients usually need 40 to 50 injections per session.
The whole process takes about an hour and recovery is quick. Your scalp may be a little red following treatment, but any redness fades in a few hours. You may also experience some swelling of the scalp for a couple of days.
It uses your own body. PRP is derived from your own blood, which means there’s no risk of allergic reaction or rejection, it’s completely natural and biocompatible.
It’s non-surgical. Unlike hair transplants, PRP requires no incisions, no anesthesia, and no lengthy recovery time. You can typically return to your normal routine the same day.
It addresses the root cause. Rather than just masking hair loss like Rogaine, PRP works by stimulating dormant hair follicles and promoting real, natural hair growth from within.
Fewer side effects. Rogaine requires ongoing daily use and can cause scalp irritation, unwanted facial hair growth, and other side effects. PRP is a periodic treatment with minimal risk.
Long-lasting results. Hair transplants are permanent but come with significant cost, surgical risk, and downtime. PRP offers a middle ground! Meaningful, lasting results without going under the knife.
