PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a natural, non-surgical method used to stimulate hair growth by harnessing the regenerative power of the patient’s own blood. Initially used for joint and tendon injuries, PRP has become increasingly popular in hair restoration for its ability to prolong the hair growth cycle and improve follicle health.
How Does PRP Work?
The process begins with a small amount of blood being drawn from the patient and processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain growth factors that promote tissue regeneration. The enriched plasma is then injected into the scalp, targeting areas affected by thinning or hair loss.
Natural Hair Growth
PRP therapy uses your own blood to stimulate the scalp, ensuring a natural and safe method to promote hair growth.
Non-Surgical Solution
This minimally invasive procedure has no risk of allergic reactions and requires no daily medications like minoxidil or finasteride.
Minimal Downtime
With PRP therapy, there is little to no downtime. Most patients experience only mild discomfort at the injection site and can resume quickly.
Early Stages of Hair Loss
PRP is particularly effective for patients in the early to moderate stages of hair thinning, promoting stronger, healthier hair growth.
PRP for Hair Loss
PRP therapy is often used as a complementary or standalone treatment for androgenetic alopecia and other types of hair thinning. It promotes better blood circulation to hair follicles, prolongs the growth phase, and strengthens hair strands. The standard protocol involves monthly sessions for the first three months, followed by maintenance treatments every two to three months.
PRP is an excellent option for patients looking for a natural hair restoration solution. It is most effective when hair loss is recent, and active follicles are still present. However, PRP may be less effective for patients with autoimmune conditions or those on blood-thinning medications.
Screening and Consultation
Before beginning treatment, a consultation is necessary to determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
