What is PRP?
PRP Hair restoration is a non-surgical, outpatient treatment that utilizes the body’s own blood to rejuvenate cells and grow hair. PRP is derived from your own blood. It contains concentrated platelets, rich in bioactive proteins. Platelets, when activated, release growth factors to stimulate cellular regeneration and accelerate tissue repair and healing. PRP is one of the most advanced and effective natural treatments for repair, rejuvenation, and hair growth.
How is it preformed?
To prepare PRP a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, the blood is then processed, we use Emcyte Pure PRP. It provides the highest concentrations of platelets on the market, thus the best achieved results. A topical anesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area on the scalp. Next, PRP is injected into the scalp using a very small needle. PRP promotes more new hair growth and it encourages shrunken hair follicles to become larger and healthier.
What to expect?
Patients report that during the procedure they experience little to no pain. The scalp maybe tender up to 4 days after treatment. New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months after PRP and usually within 6 months. Hair may continue to improve for up to 1 year after treatment.
How many treatments are needed?
It is recommended that patients receive an initial treatment of once a month, for 3 months. Followed by a maintenance treatment, once a year.
