What is PRP for hair growth?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment that can be used to stimulate hair growth. PRP is manually obtained from your blood and contains high levels of growth factors, which are thought to promote healing and regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP may help to reactivate hair follicles and spur new hair growth. PRP therapy for hair loss is still considered a relatively new treatment, but it has shown promising results in preliminary studies.
How does PRP work?
PRP therapy for hair thinning and loss involves taking a small sample of your blood and processing it so that only the platelets remain. The platelets are injected into your scalp, where they release growth factors that promote healing and regeneration.
What can I expect from PRP therapy?
PRP therapy is usually performed as a series of three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Some people may start to see new hair growth after the first treatment, but it may take a few months to see the full results. We also offer Botox and dermal fillers at our practice.Is PRP therapy suitable for me?
If you have tried other hair loss treatments without success, PRP therapy may be an option. Remember to note that PRP therapy is considered to be a relatively new treatment, and more research is needed to determine its efficacy. It would be best to talk to your doctor about whether PRP therapy is right for you.
