PRP Hair Restoration
Both men and women can develop hair loss as we age. Many suffer from androgenetic alopecia, a condition which causes the hair follicles to shrink and leads to male pattern baldness. One treatment option for hair restoration is platelet rich plasma injections.
Platelet rich plasma, also known as PRP, is an ultra-concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors from your own blood. This powerful combination of revitalizing factors stimulates new tissue growth and can be harnessed for hair restoration.
BENEFITS OF PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) for hair restoration INCLUDE:
- Reduction of hair loss
- Improved blood supply to the hair follicles
- Increased density of new hair growth
- Increased diameter/thickness of new hairs grown
PRP is collected by a simple blood draw in the office. Following the blood draw, your blood is then concentrated and will be administered back to you through a series of injections in the area of desired hair restoration – either scalp or lower face for beard growth. Typical treatment includes an initial series of three treatments 4-6 weeks apart followed by maintenance injections every 4-6 months as needed.
