PRP therapy for hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and promote natural hair regrowth.
Natural Healing for Natural Hair Growth
Patients typically undergo a series of PRP treatments spaced a few weeks apart to maximize hair growth and follicle stimulation. During each session, the process involves:
- Blood draw: A small amount of blood is drawn, much like a routine blood test.
- Processing the blood: The blood is placed into a centrifuge, where the platelets are separated from other blood components, creating the platelet-rich plasma.
- PRP injection: The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp where hair loss is occurring. The procedure is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, though some patients may experience slight soreness or redness in the treated area.
PRP therapy is generally well-tolerated, with little to no discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report seeing noticeable improvements after just a few sessions, with full results typically visible over several months as hair follicles are revitalized. The primary goal of PRP therapy is to strengthen and thicken existing hair while also stimulating new hair growth. Results vary depending on individual factors, such as the extent of hair loss and the body’s response to the treatment. However, most patients experience the following benefits:
- Thicker, healthier hair: PRP helps strengthen and nourish existing hair, leading to a fuller, healthier appearance.
- Improved hair density: Over time, many patients notice increased hair density as new hair begins to grow in previously thinning areas.
- Enhanced hair quality: Beyond promoting growth, PRP therapy improves the overall texture and quality of the hair, giving it more strength and vitality.
