PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has proven to be very beneficial for both men and women who are suffering from hair loss. PRP is a non-surgical option for patients who want to stimulate hair growth for aesthetic purposes, or if they have a condition that causes hair loss.

What happens during PRP Hair Therapy?

PRP therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.

Some in the medical community think that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.

What to Expect

How do you prepare for PRP injections?

Generally speaking, there are few steps to preparing for PRP injections. However, PRP can be injected in different ways. For example, sometimes a topical numbing lidocaine solution is applied to your scalp before injection. You may have to arrive early to a treatment session for this to be applied.

The PRP injection process

PRP Hair Therapy is a three-step process. Most PRP Hair therapy requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months. Here’s what to expect from a typical PRP injection process:

BLOOD DRAW

Your blood is drawn—typically from your arm—and put into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities).

Step 1

SEPARATE BLOOD

After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into in three layers:

• platelet-poor plasma
• platelet-rich plasma
• red blood cells

Step 2

INJECT PRP

The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.
