Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used for decades to regenerate damaged tissue. Numerous studies have shown that introducing platelet-rich plasma to the scalp can stop hair loss and increase the density of hair.
PRP therapy is a relatively simple procedure that uses platelets from your own blood - which is why the risk is so low. These platelets will help your scalp tissue regenerate and encourage healthy hair growth.
During the appointment:
🩸First, you will have blood drawn from your arm (similar to what you'd experience during a routine blood test). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩸It takes around 10-15 minutes for the PRP injection to be prepared, which is then injected into your scalp.
After the appointment:
🩸You may experience just some minor sensitivity from this procedure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩸Hair loss will decline almost immediately after your appointment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩸After a few weeks, you should begin to notice hair regrowth. This regrowth will be thicker due to an increase in the blood flow to the follicle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩸With continued treatment, patients are able to maintain consistent hair growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🩸Because PRP is a non-surgical procedure, there is no recovery period..
