PRP for Hair Loss

Hair loss can be a stigmatizing, upsetting, and embarrassing issue.  Male and female pattern baldness is a genetic problem that can leave one feeling helpless.  Many options for hair loss exist including: prescription drugs, topical therapies, light therapies, and vitamins. Often partially effective, other therapies carry the potential for unwanted side effects.  Surgical hair restoration can be expensive and does not treat potential underlying medical problems.

Now there is an affordable way for you to improve hair density without surgery or other harmful side effects. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration involves a simple injection of your own platelet rich plasma into your scalp to help regrow hair.

• Increases blood supply to the follicle
• Increases hair shaft size (thickness)
• Triggers and maintains the hair growth phase
• Decreases hair loss

Platelets contain healing growth factors. These growth factors when released are like signal callers that give instructions to your tissues to regenerate and multiply. The benefits of your body’s own growth factors has lead different fields of medicine to utilize PRP for wound healing to speed up recovery time and regrow healthier, stronger tissues.  Now, dermatologists have discovered new benefits for hair thickening and regrowth for hair with PRP. Your own growth factors and stem cells will work together to reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicle and jump start dormant hair follicles back into the growth stage.

A quick series of injections spaced 1 month apart will involve the collection and concentration of your body’s own platelets using a very easy three-step process.
