What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrated form of plasma that comes from your own blood. It contains platelets, growth factors, and other important proteins that are crucial for healing and tissue regeneration. Because of its regenerative properties, PRP is used in different areas of medicine, like orthopedics, sports medicine, and dermatology. In the field of hair restoration, PRP is used to stimulate hair follicles, promoting natural hair growth and increasing hair density.
What is PRP Hair Restoration Used For?
PRP Hair Restoration is used to treat several types of hair loss conditions, including:
Androgenic Alopecia: Commonly known as male or female pattern baldness, this genetic condition results in progressive hair thinning and loss.
Alopecia Areata: An autoimmune disorder that causes patchy hair loss.
Telogen Effluvium: A temporary hair loss often triggered by stress, illness, or hormonal changes.
Hair Thinning: General hair thinning due to various factors, such as aging or nutritional deficiencies.
PRP Hair Restoration can help those experiencing early hair loss or looking to improve hair thickness and quality.
How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
PRP Hair Restoration leverages the regenerative properties of platelets to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. Here’s how the process works:
- Blood Draw: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
- PRP Preparation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
- Scalp Injection: The PRP is then injected into the areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning or loss. The growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and strengthening existing hair.
