Restoring thinning hair is easier than ever with platelet-rich plasma therapy. This amazing treatment stimulates your body’s healing process so that your scalp once again produces thick and beautiful hair. Many patients enjoy drastic improvements within a few quick treatment sessions, and the results could last for years with regular follow-up appointments. Here is a quick glance at just a few of the benefits of PRP hair treatments.
A Closer Look at Hair Loss
It is an unfortunate fact that many people have to deal with thinning hair as they grow older. Androgenetic alopecia is one of the most common causes of hair loss, and this condition affects women as well as men. Some people will begin to notice bald patches near the back of the head while others struggle with extremely thin hair. If you have noticed that your hair is no longer as thick and healthy as it used to be, then you might be a great candidate for PRP therapy. This procedure strengthens the follicles, repairs damaged vessels, and promotes the growth of healthy cells.
PRP Appointments
Your treatment schedule depends on a few different factors including the severity of your hair loss and how responsive you are to the therapy. For most of our patients, we suggest scheduling a consultation so we can evaluate your condition and determine the correct number of treatments. When you first arrive at our office for the PRP injections, one of our team members will withdraw a small vial of blood. Each blood sample contains millions of platelets, but we need to separate the platelets from all of the other cells and molecules. That is done with a small medical device known as a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the sample until the platelet-rich plasma has collected at one end of the vial.
Once we have a concentrated dose of PRP, we can then apply it back into your scalp. A topical anesthetic is typically applied just before, and most patients feel nothing more than a little bit of pressure. After we are done, you can immediately resume all normal activities. There is no downtime following PRP injections, but we suggest protecting your head from direct sunlight for at least a few hours.
The Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
PRP therapy triggers the production of healthy new cells with nothing more than your body’s platelets, and that is why very few patients experience any unwanted side effects. Invasive hair loss treatments can result in severe inflammation and discoloration, but you won’t have to worry about those issues with PRP hair restoration. Another reason why many patients are now turning to PRP there is because it is extremely quick. Most treatments take around one hour to complete, and you can immediately head back to work or finish off your errands for the day.
