What is PRP?

PRP is a concentrated autologous biologically active blood product that is enriched in a range of growth factors, cytokines, and other plasma proteins. Platelets are blood particles without nucleus from the fragmentation of megacaryocytes. They live approximately 10 days. They contain alpha granules which contain growth factors. More than 60 growth factors have been identified (Mazzucco, BL, Transfusion). The degranulation and activation begins 10 minutes after activation and most are secreted in the first hour.

Growth Factors in PRP

Platelet Derived Growth Factor, Transforming Growth Factor-Beta, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Epidermal Growth Factor, Insulin Like Growth Factor, Fibroblast Growth Factor, Nerve Growth Factor. Cytokines are also present.

Mechanism of Action

Extremely high concentrations of biologically active agents modulate pathways of tissue repair and inflammation in the scalp.

What to Expect

  • Blood drawn from a vein in your arm, amount will be less than an ounce
  • Short wait while blood is spun and PRP is harvested and prepared
  • Photos will be taken
  • Scalp will be cleansed with alcohol
  • Anesthetic will be provided by pain ease numbing spray. Most patients rate pain at a 3 on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the least amount of pain, 10 being the most amount of pain).
  • PRP harvested will be administered via 12-14 injections just below the skin’s surface of the scalp. Injection sites will be concentrated at the most concerning sites of hair loss, and then placed throughout the scalp.
  • It is recommended that you take a hot shower and shampoo your hair within one hour of the procedure.
  • Make a follow up appointment after your 3rd treatment to return for photos and reevaluation. Your first maintenance treatment will be determined at that time.
