PRP for Hair Restoration: Overview, Benefits, and Procedure
What is PRP for Hair Restoration?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment for hair loss that harnesses the healing power of your blood. This procedure involves extracting a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.
How PRP Works
PRP contains growth factors that can help repair and rejuvenate hair follicles, promoting healthier and thicker hair growth. The growth factors in PRP work by:
Enhancing Hair Follicle Function
PRP can improve the health and functionality of hair follicles.
Stimulating New Hair Growth
The growth factors can trigger dormant hair follicles to enter the active growth phase.
Increasing Hair Thickness
Regular PRP treatments can lead to thicker hair strands, improving overall hair density.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Restoration
Non-Surgical
PRP is a minimally invasive procedure, avoiding the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
Natural Results
Since PRP uses your blood, the treatment is natural and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
Quick and Convenient
The entire procedure typically takes about an hour, with minimal downtime.
Effective for Various Hair Loss Types
PRP can be effective for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), traction alopecia, and other forms of hair loss.
The PRP Procedure
Consultation
The process begins with a consultation to assess your hair loss and determine if PRP is suitable for you at ENIGMA MEDI SPA.
Blood Draw
A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
Centrifugation
The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
Scalp Preparation
Your scalp is cleaned and numbed to ensure comfort during the injections.
PRP Delivery
The concentrated PRP can be delivered to the scalp in two main ways:
Microneedling
Microneedling involves using tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the scalp. This method has several benefits:
- Enhanced Absorption: Microneedling increases the absorption of PRP into the scalp, ensuring the growth factors reach deeper into the hair follicles.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: The micro-injuries also stimulate collagen production, further promoting hair follicle health and growth.
- Minimal Discomfort: The process is relatively painless, especially with numbing cream applied beforehand.
Injections
The PRP can also be directly injected into the areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning or loss. This method ensures precise delivery of PRP to targeted areas.
Post-Treatment Care
You can return to your normal activities immediately after the procedure, with minimal restrictions.
Expected Results and Follow-Up
Initial Results
You may start to see improvements in hair thickness and density within a few months.
Optimal Results
Multiple sessions, typically spaced four to six weeks apart, are often recommended for optimal results.
Maintenance
Follow-up treatments every six to twelve months can help maintain and enhance results.
