HAIR RESTORATION TREATMENT
Hair restoration is a very common issue for both men and women and can be very embarrassing. Both male and female pattern hair loss can severely affect the way you feel about yourself, and the fact that it is genetic makes it that much more frustrating. There are various treatment options available, but the cons often outweigh the pros. Prescription drugs and topical treatments show limited results while having adverse side effects, and surgical restoration can be highly invasive, very expensive, and does not treat the underlying cause of hair loss. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is the newest and most economical option for PRP hair restoration treatment, which involves a simple injection of your own platelets back into the affected areas of your scalp
BENEFITSOF PRP FOR HAIR RESTORATION
HOW IT WORKS ?
Platelets are the cells that clot your blood when you are injured and tell your body’s tissue to heal and grow. Because of their function, many fields of medicine have started using Platelet Rich Plasma as a natural way to speed up recovery and promote the growth of healthier tissue in less time. Hair replacement specialists recently discovered the benefits of PRP for hair restoration by using the body’s natural growth factors and stem cells together to repair diminishing or dormant hair follicles, jumpstarting new hair growth treatments a cure for baldness? A. No, PRP is not a cure for the underlying genetic cause of baldness, called Androgenic Alopecia. However, there is evidence that regular treatments of PRP can significantly slow down its effects and increase hair density. Ask your hair restoration specialist if PRP is right for you.
The simple, three-step process starts with a collection of blood in a special collection tube, which is then placed in a centrifuge. The blood will separate into three distinct layers, one of which being the Platelet-Rich Plasma. This section of highly concentrated platelets is extracted from the other layers. Using a small needle, the platelets are injected into the areas of the scalp that need to improve

Not at all. Collecting the PRP takes about 10-15 minutes, and the treatment itself usually takes another 10-15 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area.
Every patient is different, but your doctor will likely recommend several treatments spaced out over 4-6 weeks. After the initial set of treatments, they may also recommend maintenance treatment 1-2 times per year.
There may be a bit of sensitivity, but your doctor will talk to you about anesthetic options to minimize discomfort.
Unlike surgical options, there is no downtime or recovery process after PRP. It is best not to wash your hair or exercise for 48 hours after your treatment.
Again, every patient is different. Ask your doctor if they think PRP is the right treatment for your hair loss.
