Understanding PRP Hair Restoration
What is platelet-rich plasma?
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a substance derived from your blood that contains a higher concentration of platelets than normal blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors that promote healing and stimulate hair follicles.
The PRP Hair Restoration Process Simplified
It's essential to understand any medical procedure before undergoing treatment. PRP Hair Restoration follows a relatively straightforward process:
Extraction of Blood: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, similar to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation to Separate Plasma and Platelets: The blood is then placed in a centrifuge machine, which spins at high speeds to separate the plasma and platelets from other blood components.
Injection of Concentrated PRP into Scalp: Once our team prepares the PRP, it is injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles that need stimulation.
Benefits and Effectiveness of PRP Hair Restoration
PRP hair restoration offers several benefits:
Promotes Hair Growth and Thickness: The growth factors in PRP stimulate dormant or newly implanted hair follicles, leading to increased hair growth and thicker hair strands.
Reduces Hair Loss and Thinning: PRP therapy can help reduce the progression of hair loss in individuals experiencing early stages of balding or thinning hair.
Improves Hair Quality and Texture: Patients often report improvements in their hair's overall quality, shine, and texture following PRP treatments.
Procedure and Recovery
Preparation
Before your procedure, you may be advised by your provider to avoid certain medications, as well as to avoid heavy smoking and drinking, both of which can affect platelets. You should avoid hair dyes, gels, and other products for a few days before the procedure. You will likely be advised as to when to prepare your scalp with gentle washing.
Administration and Duration of PRP Treatment
A typical PRP treatment process averages about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. Multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are usually recommended for optimal results.
Recovery and Care
As an outpatient, non-surgical procedure, PRP hair restoration requires minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling or redness at the injection sites; however, this usually resolves within a day or two.
Follow-up Sessions
Periodic follow-up sessions may be advised to maintain and enhance results. You can create the optimal schedule with your provider.
