How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

By Jason M. Riehs, MD, JD

Your hair is your crowning glory, and if that crown has begun to fade or you’ve lost it altogether, we have a solution. At Le Beau Visage Medical Spa in Frisco, TX, we offer PRP hair restoration, a treatment that uses growth factors and regenerative properties found in your blood to restore your hair. After completing the treatments, you can regain your glory.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

PRP hair restoration is a treatment that can address thinning, poor quality, and even receding hair, as well as balding, to restore hair volume, thickness, and health. The treatment process takes place throughout a few different steps, and by the end of it, you can rest in confidence, knowing that you are on your way to thicker, healthier, and more beautiful hair.

Step One: Your Consultation

The PRP hair restoration treatment process begins with an initial consultation. Not everyone suffers from the same type of hair loss. For some, the aging process, genetics, and lifestyle factors have led to early onset hair loss. For others, hormone changes combined with multiple pregnancies and the aging process have caused their hair to thin and weaken.

At your consultation, we will evaluate your scalp, discuss your concerns, and then create a custom-tailored treatment plan to address your specific form of hair loss so that you can experience restored beautiful, healthy-looking hair. Once we confirm that you are a good candidate, we will schedule your treatment.

Step Two: Obtaining the PRP

The first step of your actual treatment will involve obtaining the PRP from your blood. You cannot buy PRP online, nor can you buy it at a store. It can’t be bottled and sold. It has to come from your blood. You cannot use someone else’s PRP and get results; it can only come from your blood, so naturally, this process begins with a standard blood draw.

The Blood Draw

One of our trained experts will perform a standard blood draw to obtain a sample of your blood to use during the treatment process. Then, that blood will be placed in a device called a centrifuge. A centrifuge is a specialized machine designed to spin the blood sample for several minutes.

The spinning action causes the separation of the PRP from the rest of the plasma. During the spinning process, the PRP rises to the top of the glass tube. This process only takes a few minutes to complete, and once the PRP has been obtained and prepared, it will then be put into an injection form.

Step Three: Preparing the PRP

Once we collect the PRP after the spinning action is complete, we will put it into an injectable form. This will enable us to inject the PRP and all of its growth factors and regenerative properties into some specific and strategic areas of your scalp. This process is important because it is the official separation of the PRP from the rest of your blood. Once this step is complete, we can administer PRP into your treatment area.

Step Four: Administering the PRP

Once the PRP is prepared and ready for your treatment process, our technician will administer it through tiny injections into different areas of your scalp. We will administer 12 injections into precise and strategic areas of your scalp during the treatment process. Before administering these injections, a numbing spray will be applied to your scalp before each injection to help you maintain optimal comfort throughout the treatment.

Once administered, the PRP will begin addressing damaged tissue and stimulate the hair follicles that have been damaged or become dormant over time. This process will also lead to increased collagen production in the scalp, which will promote overall skin health and improve the appearance and health of your scalp and your hair.

Step Five: Monitoring Your Results

The final step in the process will take place in the weeks following your treatment. You will begin monitoring your results at home so that you can see progressive hair growth over time. One of the best ways to monitor your progress is to take before and after pictures.

Comparing your before pictures with the pictures you take each week following your treatment will help you notice the progressive improvement in your hair over time as the PRP works to enhance your scalp, restore health to your hair follicles, and improve the volume thickness of your hair.

What Is PRP?

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is a part of your blood that contains healing, growth, and regenerative properties. PRP can be used to rejuvenate the skin, as well as help restore hair growth. There are many cosmetic treatments that utilize all the benefits of PRP to enhance the appearance, and hair restoration is one of them.

PRP and Hair Restoration

Platelets perform several functions when administered to the scalp, including stimulating the formation of new hair follicles on the scalp. Additionally, the administration of PRP to the scalp can increase the diameter of the hair shaft, which results in thicker-looking hair.

Thicker hair, by default, always looks healthier, so this treatment will help improve not only the appearance of your hair but the health of your hair and scalp as well. If you have areas that are experiencing balding or are receding, this treatment can help restore hair growth to the area and, in doing so, increase your confidence.

What Kind of Treatment Results Can I Expect?

Once you undergo this treatment, you can expect a 30% increase in the number of hair fall coals on your scalp and a 60% increase in your hair thickness.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients only need four treatments to achieve their desired results. When you come in for your consultation, we will evaluate your areas of concern and then create your treatment plan. We will schedule your treatments with a specific amount of time between each to help ensure that you achieve the best possible results.

What Are the Benefits?

One of the main benefits of this treatment, aside from the fact that it is effective and does deliver results, is that it’s risk-free. Many hair loss treatments, both topical solutions and surgical procedures, have potential side effects, the possibility of adverse reactions, and even the possibility of an allergic reaction. This treatment delivers nothing but benefits, and you won’t have to worry about downtime, adverse reactions, or an extensive recovery period.

It’s Natural

Many hair growth treatments involve either the application or the oral ingestion of medication. Most of these medications and medicated products contain less than ideal ingredients and can result in side effects that can affect your skin and overall health.

This treatment uses PRP, which comes from your blood and your blood alone, so not only will you not have to worry about any kind of allergic reaction, but you can rest assured that the entire process is completely natural.

It’s Affordable

Many traditional forms of hair loss treatments are, in fact, surgical procedures that not only require downtime but are not the most affordable options. PRP hair restoration treatments are not only natural, but they’re affordable. And you won’t have to plan around any downtime. You can schedule treatments as needed without draining your budget and still achieve visible and noticeable results.

Who Is a Candidate?

If you have been experiencing any form of hair loss that makes you feel self-conscious, embarrassed, or less confident than you should about your appearance, you may be a good candidate for PRP hair restoration treatments. Both men and women qualify as candidates for this natural yet effective treatment that can help transform thin, unhealthy-looking hair into thicker, voluminous, healthy hair.

If you are one of the 56 million individuals suffering from some form of hair loss, know that you are not alone but also know that there is a solution. PRP can help transform your hair, and you won’t have to undergo anything invasive to experience results.
