PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure used to promote hair growth and treat various hair-related issues, such as thinning hair and hair loss. Here's an overview of PRP hair restoration:

Procedure: PRP hair restoration involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood and then processing it to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. The PRP, which is rich in growth factors, is then injected into the scalp at the areas with hair loss or thinning.

​

Mechanism of Action: PRP contains growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, promote hair regrowth, and strengthen existing hair. It also improves blood circulation to the scalp.

​

Candidates: PRP hair restoration is often recommended for individuals with early-stage hair loss, and it can be used by both men and women. It may not be as effective for individuals with advanced baldness.

​

Number of Sessions: Multiple sessions are typically required, usually spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Maintenance sessions may be necessary to sustain hair growth.

​

Minimal Discomfort: The procedure is relatively painless, as a topical numbing agent is applied to the scalp before the injections. Most patients experience minimal discomfort.

​

Recovery: There is little to no downtime after PRP hair restoration. Patients can usually resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

​

Results: Results vary from person to person, but some individuals start to notice improvements in hair thickness and density within a few months. Full results may take several months to become apparent.

​

Safety: PRP is generally considered safe, as it uses the patient's own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, such as mild swelling or redness at the injection sites.

​

Combination Therapy: Some individuals choose to combine PRP therapy with other hair restoration treatments, such as topical medications like minoxidil or hair transplant surgery, to maximize results.

​

Cost: The cost of PRP hair restoration can vary depending on the location and the number of sessions required. It is often considered more affordable than surgical hair restoration options.

​

Maintenance: To maintain the results, patients may need periodic PRP maintenance sessions, usually every 6 to 12 months.
