Restore Your Hair Naturally with PRP Therapy
Hair loss can be distressing, affecting confidence and self-esteem. If you’re experiencing thinning hair or early-stage hair loss, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a scientifically-backed, non-surgical solution to stimulate natural hair regrowth.
What is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP therapy for hair regrowth is a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses the healing power of your own blood. It involves drawing a small sample of blood, processing it in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, and injecting it into areas experiencing hair thinning. PRP contains powerful growth factors that stimulate hair follicles, promoting new hair growth, strengthening existing strand and improving density.
How Does PRP Work for Hair Loss?
PRP therapy works by:
- Stimulating Hair Follicles: Growth factors in PRP activate dormant hair follicles, encouraging increased hair density and thickness.
- Enhancing Scalp Health: PRP improves blood circulation and nourishment to the scalp, creating an optimal environment for hair growth.
- Extending the Hair Growth Cycle: PRP prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, reducing hair shedding and supporting regrowth.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Regrowth
- Non-Surgical & Natural: Uses your own blood components, eliminating the risk of side effects and allergic reactions.
- Clinically Proven: Supported by scientific studies showing improved hair thickness and density.
- Minimally Invasive with no Downtime
- Versatile Application: Effective for androgenic alopecia, hair thinning due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or aging.
What to Expect During PRP Treatment
- Consultation: A hair loss specialist evaluates your scalp and determines if PRP is suitable for you.
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is taken from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifuge Processing: The blood sample is placed in a clinical centrifuge, where it is spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Precise Injections: Using a fine needle, PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp following a pre-mapped pattern to maximize effectiveness.
- Post-Treatment Care: There is little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately.
How Many PRP Sessions Are Needed?
For optimal results, a series of 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. To maintain results, follow-up treatments every 4-12 months may be advised.
Who is a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Therapy?
PRP is ideal for individuals experiencing:
- Early-stage hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss
- Androgenic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness)
- Hair loss caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, postpartum, menopause or aging
- Those seeking a natural, non-surgical alternative to hair restoration
- Post Hair Transplant patients to maximize results and maintain existing non-transplanted hair
PRP as a Standalone or Complementary Treatment
PRP therapy can be used:
- As an independent treatment for individuals not suited for hair transplants
- In conjunction with hair transplants to enhance healing and promote hair regrowth post-surgery
- As a maintenance treatment to slow down hair loss and extend the hair growth cycle
PRP Benefits Post Hair Transplant
PRP therapy is an excellent post-hair transplant treatment to support recovery and maximize hair growth outcomes. Benefits include:
- Faster Healing: PRP accelerates the healing process, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort after a transplant.
- Improved Graft Survival: The growth factors in PRP help transplanted hair follicles establish a strong blood supply, increasing their survival rate.
- Enhanced Hair Growth: PRP stimulates the newly transplanted follicles, promoting thicker and healthier hair growth.
- Reduced Shock Loss: PRP can help minimize post-transplant shedding, ensuring a smoother transition to full hair restoration.
- Stronger, Healthier Scalp: PRP nourishes the scalp, improving overall hair and skin health, creating an optimal environment for long-term hair regrowth.
Combining PRP with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Low-Level Laser Therapy
Combining PRP with other proven hair loss treatments can enhance results and provide a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration.
Combining PRP with, Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Low-Level Laser Therapy and Microneedling
Combining PRP with other proven hair loss treatments can enhance results and provide a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration.
- PRP + Minoxidil: Minoxidil is a topical solution that extends the growth phase of hair follicles. When combined with PRP, it can improve follicular response and accelerate visible hair regrowth. Studies indicate that combining PRP with Minoxidil can lead to an 85% improvement in hair density.
- PRP + Finasteride: Finasteride is an oral medication that blocks DHT, a hormone responsible for hair loss. When used alongside PRP, it helps maintain hair density while PRP stimulates new growth. Research suggests that the combination increases hair regrowth efficacy to 80-90% compared to using Finasteride alone.
- PRP + Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT stimulates cellular activity in hair follicles using red light wavelengths. When combined with PRP, it enhances follicle stimulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes stronger, thicker hair regrowth. Clinical trials have shown that PRP combined with LLLT can improve hair thickness and growth by 75-85%.
- PRP + Microneedling: Microneedling creates micro-injuries on the scalp that enhance the absorption of PRP and stimulate deeper follicular activation. When used together, PRP and microneedling can improve hair regrowth by 85-90%.
