PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a revolutionary hair loss treatment that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is a treatment that was discovered in the 1970’s, but only used for hair transplants recently. This treatment is still developing and will become a very promising treatment to aid with the healing of a hair transplant as well as a way to aid in reversing hair loss as a whole.
PRP is a treatment that uses a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth. The process begins by drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The plasma, which is rich in platelets, is then injected into the scalp in the areas where hair loss is occurring.
The platelets in the plasma contain growth factors that stimulate the hair follicles to enter into the growth phase. This results in thicker, healthier hair and an overall improvement in the appearance of the patient’s hair.
PRP is a safe and effective treatment for both men and women. It is especially effective for those with androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. It can also be used as an additional treatment for those undergoing hair transplant surgery to enhance the growth of transplanted hairs.
One of the major benefits of PRP is that it is a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Additionally, PRP is a natural treatment that uses the patient’s own blood, so there is no risk of allergic reactions or any other kind of transfusion risk.
In addition to its effectiveness in treating hair loss, PRP has also been found to have other benefits for the scalp and hair. For example, it can improve the overall health of the scalp, making it an ideal treatment for those with scalp conditions such as dandruff or psoriasis. It can also promote hair growth in other areas of the body, such as the eyebrows, beard, and chest.
PRP is also a versatile treatment that can be used in combination with other hair loss treatments. For example, it can be used in conjunction with hair transplants to improve the growth and survival of transplanted hairs. It can also be used in combination with other non-surgical treatments, such as minoxidil and finasteride, to enhance their effectiveness.
The PRP treatment will be administered by drawing around 120cc of blood from a vein of a patient, which will be placed in a test tube to be centrifuged. This centrifuging process will separate the rich white blood cells from the blood. While the centrifuge is happening, the scalp will be anaesthetised. Once the centrifuging is completed, it will take several minutes to inject the PRP into the areas of the scalp that will be treated, then following that it will be activated by treating the scalp using a roller, or tiny needles. These will press microdots into areas to stimulate follicle growth.
Another benefit of PRP is that it is a long-lasting treatment. The effects of the treatment can last for several months, and maintenance treatments can help prolong the results. This makes PRP a cost-effective solution for those looking to treat their hair loss in the long term.
Whenever we administer PRP as a reversing hair loss treatment, we observe responses from 3-5 years following one singular dose of the treatment on an individual. In advanced hair loss cases, we have also found that performing an additional follow-up treatment around one year after the first has increased value and builds upon the first treatment. PRP treatments are understood and backed by clinical data from hundreds of patients worldwide which shows that it aids with stopping and/or reversing hair loss, as well as thickening existing hair and also aids in further hair growth.
We understand that hair loss can be a sensitive and emotional issue for many individuals. That is why we take a personalized approach to hair loss treatment, working closely with each patient to understand their unique needs and goals.
