PRP Hair Restoration

PRP hair restoration typically involves an initial round of four to six treatments. To maintain results, at least one touch-up treatment per year is recommended. While the success rate of PRP injections for hair restoration varies, it generally ranges from 70% to 90% for the average patient.

If you have thinning hair, you may be an ideal candidate for hair restoration using PRP. However, PRP cannot fill in bald spots or be used on the scalp with open sores or lesions. Schedule a complimentary consultation to see if PRP for Hair Restoration is right for you.

Platelet-rich plasma eliminates the chance of allergies or immune reactions since the plasma is derived from your own blood. Side effects and complications are exceedingly rare; minor discomfort at the injection site and minimal risk of infection may occur.

PRP injections are usually performed monthly for three months, with additional treatments as needed to maintain results.

During the treatment, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets containing growth factors from the rest of the blood components. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the scalp, stimulating hair follicles to grow stronger, healthier, and thicker. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes less than an hour.

Extensive research has shown that this non-surgical procedure, which utilizes the patient’s own blood cells to stimulate hair regrowth, carries minimal risks. While minor redness, swelling, and a slight pinch during the injection may occur, serious complications are extremely rare. In summary, PRP hair restoration offers a promising, safe, and non-invasive option for those seeking hair restoration.

Although you will begin to see enhancements in hair texture within two weeks, including increased thickness of the hair shaft and growth of new hairs in the treated area, it typically takes three to six months to see measurable results.

The results of PRP hair restoration are not permanent, but they are long-lasting, typically lasting from one to two years or more.

PRP hair restoration can be combined with other treatments to enhance the results and provide a comprehensive approach to hair loss. These treatments may include preventative hair loss drugs and/or state-of-the-art procedures like Neograft for hair transplantation. By combining these treatments, patients can increase their chances of achieving their desired outcomes and enjoying a full, healthy head of hair.

To prepare for a PRP hair restoration session:

• Avoid taking any blood-thinning medications, supplements, or herbs for at least a week before your procedure.
• Refrain from using hair dyes or styling products on the day of your session.
• Wash your hair the night before.

While there may be some initial redness and swelling at the injection site, downtime after a PRP hair restoration procedure is minimal. Patients can typically return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, it is advised to avoid any strenuous activities or excessive sweating for at least 48 hours following the treatment. This is to ensure that the scalp has time to heal and that the platelet-rich plasma is able to properly stimulate hair growth.

After undergoing PRP hair restoration treatment, it is recommended to refrain from using any hair products for at least six hours. Additionally, avoid saunas, steam rooms, vigorous exercise, direct exposure to sun and heat, as well as swimming for a minimum of two days post-treatment. Furthermore, it is recommended to abstain from alcohol, caffeine, and cigarettes for three days following the treatment.

One of the major benefits of PRP hair restoration is that it doesn’t involve any harsh chemicals or medications that could cause unwanted side effects that other hair loss treatments do. As more and more people are turning to natural and holistic approaches to maintain their health and well-being, PRP treatment stands out as a hair restoration option that focuses on harnessing the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

It is generally advised to refrain from washing your hair for 24 hours after treatment. Afterward, use a pH-balanced shampoo.

PRP, containing growth factors has been proven to enhance hair growth, resulting in thicker, fuller hair with increased density.
