How Does PRP Hair Restoration Therapy Work?

What is PRP Hair Restoration Therapy?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration therapy is a natural, non-surgical treatment that uses the patient’s blood plasma to stimulate hair growth. PRP is a concentration of platelets and growth factors found in the patient’s blood.

How Does It Work?

During an appointment, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and growth factors from the rest of the blood. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the patient’s scalp in areas where hair loss has occurred.

The PRP solution’s growth factors help stimulate the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. The injection of PRP also increases blood flow to the scalp, which helps to nourish the hair follicles and promote healthy hair growth.

Are There Side Effects?

PRP hair restoration therapy is a relatively quick and painless procedure that can be completed in under an hour. Patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site, but this typically resolves within a few days.

Is This An Effective Natural Hair Growth Solution?

Promoting natural hair growth through PRP hair restoration therapy has been shown to be effective in patients with androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). However, results may vary depending on the individual patient’s level of hair loss and overall health.
