HOW PRP WORKS

Effective Non-Surgical Hair Restoration

PRP Therapy is the most advanced and effective non-surgical treatment for hair restoration currently in use.  PRP Therapy is a Platelet-Rich-Plasma injection treatment that prevents shedding and restores hair growth in patients suffering from genetic hair loss. The PRP therapy treatment takes about 30 minutes to administer, and requires no daily maintenance, with no downtime.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a unique natural treatment consisting of a concentration of platelet-rich blood plasma derived from your own blood.  PRP contains essential growth factors that stimulate growth in hair follicles when injected directly into the scalp. The good news is that there is very little chance of allergic reaction or risk associated with this procedure because PRP is produced by your own body.

WHAT TO EXPECT

PRP Results

PRP Treatment results appear with the natural cycle of hair growth, about 4 to 8 months after treatments. Monthly treatments for three months are recommended. As the PRP stimulates new hair growth, the hair will begin to appear fuller and thicker. Since each individual case is unique, results are evaluated every four months following the third procedure, and progress is tracked annually to determine when each patient is due for a follow-up treatment in order to maintain optimal hair growth.

Follow-up treatments are an essential requirement of PRP Therapy, although, in some patients, results may last for months or even years before the patient will require a follow-up treatment.  While a single treatment provides a significant improvement, a series of PRP injection treatments may be useful, depending on your aesthetic goals, your particular condition, and how your scalp reacts to the treatment.

MAINTENANCE

Preventing Future Hair Loss

A great benefit of PRP Injections is that in addition to helping your hair become thick and full again, this treatment also treats ongoing hair loss, and often slows down shedding and may even prevent hair from further thinning.  If you start treating your hereditary hair loss while you’re still relatively young, regular treatments may also help to preserve and encourage renewed hair growth, and increase the thickness and density of your hair. The results of these treatments may actually last for months and years, meaning that, you may be able to avoid the need for more aggressive treatments until much later down the road.

FAQs About Hair Restoration

How long does PRP hair restoration last?

For most patients, results of PRP hair restoration will last at least 12 months, but can last longer. That’s why it’s recommended to have maintenance treatments 1-2 times a year.

Which is better, PRP or hair transplant?

These are two different procedures and focus on separate things. Hair PRP nourishes the scalp to wake up dormant hair follicles and promote hair growth. Hair transplant on the other hand harvests existing healthy hair follicles from the donor site and gets transferred onto the desired area. PRP can be performed as a standalone treatment or paired with hair transplant. Generally, PRP is a slightly less invasive or expensive option.

How many times can you have PRP injections for hair?

Most people require multiple PRP sessions to achieve their intended results. An average of about three sessions total are recommended spaced 1-month apart.

Is PRP for hair restoration painful?

Just like any injections using a needle PRP injections may be painful. There are different methods of making sure patients are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Your provider can explain expectations during a consultation.

What are the side effects of PRP hair treatment?

There are virtually no side effects after the treatment, since patient’s own blood plasma is being used with no other additives. Some potential mild side effects after PRP hair restoration may include dizziness, nausea, pain in the injection site, or bruising.

Does PRP thicken hair?

Yes. PRP is an effective option for thickening the hair for many patients.

How long does it take for PRP to work for hair?

Most patients will see results from the PRP treatment after about three to six months, when several hair life cycles have been completed. However, some patients may experience improvement after 1 month following their first procedure.

How long do hair transplants last?

Hair transplants are typically permanent.

Who is a good candidate for hair PRP treatment?

Patients who are concerned about thinning hair or balding. Because your own blood plasma is being used for injections, it’s a safe and effective way to promote hair growth.

ABOUT HAIR LOSS

Hair loss, or alopecia, may be either a hereditary condition or a condition that affects random individuals with no apparent cause, and there are different variations of the condition.

A condition of the autoimmune system, alopecia may affect men, women, and children of any age and produce sudden, random hair loss that may become chronic, recurrent, or continuous, with no re-growth. About 4 million people in the United States, and roughly 2% of people around the world, will experience some form of alopecia during their lifetime, and the condition affects men and women equally.

While alopecia is not in itself harmful, managing chronic hair loss can be a challenging proposition for people who suffer from this condition.

Hereditary hair loss, such as the familiar male pattern baldness, which is known medically as male androgenic alopecia or hereditary alopecia, is the most common form of hair loss in men. Male pattern baldness typically runs in families and usually begins as a receding hairline or a bald spot on top of the head. Men may begin to exhibit this trait at a very young age.

Men may also experience other forms of alopecia that are not hereditary, but instead caused by such factors as chemical irritants, medication, or an underlying health problem. In these cases, the condition is usually temporary and may be easily reversed upon treating the underlying problem or removing the irritant.

Female Hair Loss

Female pattern hair loss or female androgenic alopecia is fairly common in women, and women may exhibit this condition as early as the teen years, or it may develop suddenly later in life. In women with female hereditary alopecia, the hair typically begins to fall out uniformly all over their scalp in contrast to male pattern baldness, which normally exhibits a specific pattern.

Temporary alopecia may affect women for a variety of reasons, such as stress, hormonal fluctuations, autoimmune conditions such as Lupus, and conditions such as ovarian tumors or anemia, as well as chemical allergens and irritants, and nutritional deficiencies. Medications containing hormones such as progestin, chemotherapy drugs, and thyroid medications may also produce temporary hair loss.

Hair Loss in the Eyebrows and Eyelashes

Some individuals, male or female, may also experience eyebrow thinning, as well as short and thin eyelashes. Thinning eyebrows may be treated with eyebrow grafting techniques, which is similar to hair grafting. For thin and sparse eyelashes, we recommend Latisse, a treatment that encourages fuller, thicker, and darker eyelashes when applied regularly to the lash line.

Hair Grafting Overview

What Is Hair Transplant Surgery?

Hair grafting is a highly specialized procedure that involves removing a strip from the healthy area of the scalp where the hair is growing fully, and dividing that strip into hundreds of smaller grafts, with each containing only a few hairs. These grafts are then transplanted into the bald areas of the scalp imitating the hair’s natural growth pattern.
