PRP Therapy for Hair Loss FAQs
PRP or platelet-rich plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that harnesses the body’s ability to heal itself. Plasma contains white blood cells and platelets which are rich natural growth factors. For those experiencing hair loss, PRP therapy stimulates hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.
It can improve the look of:
- Thinning hair
- Hair loss
To begin, our medical staff will draw your blood in our office as though you are having routine blood testing. Your blood will be spun the blood through a centrifuge and the PRP is separated and extracted from the rest of the blood using a highly advanced gel technology to get the highest level of platelets rich plasma about 3 to 5x the normal blood values.
The second step requires that you be under topical anesthesia. Next, a medical practitioner will inject your scalp with the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP stimulates the follicles so that your hair can regrow. There is a small amount of lidocaine added to the PRP for comfort during the procedure.
PRP therapy typically consists of three monthly treatments followed by maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months to maintain hair growth.
