PRP Hair Rejuvenation

PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma.” Platelet-rich plasma therapy uses the best rich plasma your blood has to offer because it heals injuries faster, encourages growth factors, and also increases levels of collagen and stem cells—these are naturally produced in the body to keep you looking young and fresh. When it comes to hair loss, when platelets are injected deep into the scalp to reach the bottom of the hair follicle, they can stimulate a specialized population of cells named dermal papilla cells, which play a critical role in hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Am I a candidate for PRP Hair Rejuvenation?
Anyone who is experiencing hair loss is a good candidate for PRP treatments but those with early hair loss and progressive hair thinning tend to respond the best. PRP is best used for patients with androgenetic alopecia, which is a genetically determined form of hair loss that typically affects the top of the head. In women, this might look like a widening part within the normal hair thickness in the back of the head.
What to Expect During Treatment
We first need to create your PRP. We draw a sample of blood from your arm and place it in a special centrifuge that spins the blood to separate the liquid plasma from the platelet-rich portion. Then, the PRP is injected into the upper layer of your scalp, wherever the hair loss occurs.
How Long Does PRP Last?
PRP hair restoration is not permanent. There is no standardized procedure for PRP hair restoration. Results will vary from patient to patient. Results can last from 12-18 months. In order to maintain hair regrowth and fullness, we recommend maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months.
