Hair Restoration with PRP Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for the scalp is a procedure where a patient's own blood is processed to concentrate platelets and then injected into the scalp to potentially stimulate hair growth. It's a non-surgical option gaining traction as a potential treatment for hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia. 

How it works:

1. Blood Draw:
A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, similar to a standard blood test. 

2. Centrifugation:
The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it at high speed to separate the blood components. 

3. Platelet Concentration:
The platelets, which contain growth factors, are concentrated in the resulting plasma. 

4. Injection:
The PRP is injected into the scalp in areas experiencing hair thinning or loss. 

​

Potential benefits:

Increased hair thickness and density: PRP may help to thicken hair shafts and increase the number of hairs in the growth phase. 
Reduced hair shedding:

Some individuals may experience less hair shedding after PRP treatment. 
Improved scalp health: PRP may promote a healthier scalp environment for hair growth. 
Non-surgical and relatively safe: PRP is an autologous treatment, meaning it uses the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions. 
Important Considerations:

Individual results vary the effectiveness of PRP for hair loss can differ from person to person. 

Maintenance treatments:
PRP results are not permanent, and maintenance treatments are typically recommended to sustain hair

regrowth.

​

Not a cure for all hair loss:
PRP may be more effective for certain types of hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia, than others. 

Potential side effects:
Common side effects include temporary pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
