Hair loss is a natural but devastating life process, resulting in loss of confidence and our sense of self. As we age and our hair follicles tire, the thin spots and bald patches can be emotionally triggering, and it’s hard to explain to our loved ones why it takes such a heavy toll.

Platelet rich plasma or the PRP injection is a revolutionary non-surgical therapy for natural hair follicle stimulation which may help to maintain hair density, treat thinning hair and correct male pattern baldness naturally. The PRP serum is made from the platelet rich plasma separated from your own blood which, when injected into the scalp, rejuvenates the hair follicles and promotes blood flow and tissue restoration.

PRP Hair Restoration vs Other Methods

Since it’s release in 1988, Rogaine (minoxidil) has been a popular treatment for hair regrowth. This topical formula comes as a foam or liquid and is to be applied twice daily, with many people not seeing results for at least four months. Not only is it’s usage only limited to those who are in the early stages of hereditary hair loss, science is not clear on how or why it actually works. In theory, it enlarges your hair follicles and elongates the growth phase of hair. If, after four months of consistent usage, you don’t see results, a provider will simply suggest altering the dosage. On top of this, Rogaine only works for as long as you apply it, which means you will be buying this product for the rest of your life for minimal, if any, results. If you decide to stop using it, plan on losing any hair that it may have helped restore.

Your platelet rich plasma treatment will take one hour of your day and is a safe, non-chemical form of hair growth. It is a serum of your own natural growth hormones that is injected into your scalp to rejuvenate the cells and promote blood circulation to heal your damaged and aged tissue. PRP for hair loss works to solve the root cause of your hair loss, not just treats the symptom.

Microneedling is a treatment for hair loss that involves pricking the skin of your scalp with tiny sterilized needles to create small injuries that will promote a surge of blood flow and natural growth hormones. This procedure can take one to two hours and is typically done once or twice a month. The side effects can include swelling, redness, acne breakouts and skin flaking that can last a few days. Some practitioners will also apply minoxidil (rogaine) after this procedure.

Platelet Rich Plasma injections work to establish the same healing processes as Microneedling without the use of products such as rogaine. While the optimal benefits of Microneedling can last between 3 and 5 months, your platelet rich plasma injection can last between 18 and 24 months.

Your hair transplant procedure is essentially a hair graft in which your doctor will either remove a strip of the skin from your scalp and sew it into your problem areas, or will shave a portion of your scalp to extract hair follicles one by one to reinsert them into your thinning areas. This surgical operation can take between 4 and 8 hours and often requires a follow up. Not only can this procedure be prohibitively expensive, it will leave you in bandages for a couple of days, needing to use anti-inflammatory and pain medications to cope, and unable to return to work for 2 to 5 days. Your physician may also prescribe rogaine so, in 6 to 9 months, you may see better results. You also run the risk of transplant rejection.

Platelet rich plasma injections are non-surgical and noninvasive, eliminating the need for any cutting or grafting of the areas of your perfectly healthy scalp. You can expect your appointment to last about an hour and there is no downtime, so you will be able to return to work immediately: no bandages, no pain medication, no need to boost your success with chemicals such as rogaine. PRP uses your own natural growth factors, so the risks of infection are less than 1% and, unlike hair transplant surgeries, you don’t have to worry about your scalp rejecting the procedure.

Finasteride is an oral medication for men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss. It is used to block an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which is meant for helping men with enlarged prostates. While it may cause some hair growth, this pill’s side effects include: chills, dizziness, confusion, bloating, weight fluctuation, hives and rashes, tenderness, back pain, stomachache, erectile dysfunction, and decreased libido, to name a few. It’s warning label also comes with a risk of causing prostate cancer. While hair loss may be caused by hormonal imbalances, targeting and altering the wrong ones with chemicals may only make it worse.

Your PRP injection is natural and safe with none of the hazardous side effects of Finasteride. Instead of targeting your hormones, it will divert your own platelet rich plasma into your problem areas and will promote healthy and natural regeneration of your damaged scalp tissue.

Laser hair therapies can come in various shapes and sizes: caps, combs, helmets, etc. and rely on a laser wavelength to be absorbed by your scalp for stem cell regeneration. This treatment varies depending on the method, but you may expect to be spending 15-60 minutes every other day for six months or longer, and that’s just the initial procedure. For maintenance, 15-30 minute sessions 2 to 3 times per week may be recommended, otherwise you can expect to lose all the progress you’ve made. Low light laser therapies may have 85% success rate on stopping the loss of hair, but only 55% of users report seeing hair regrowth, and the therapy does nothing for spots that are already barren.

PRP eliminates the need to sit for hours a week to maybe see the regrowth of hair. Your injections are created from a serum of your natural growth hormones, stimulating your scalp and promoting blood flow to dead and damaged tissue. Patients are excited to see their hair begin to grow in the areas they had lost hope for, and were even more ecstatic about the long-lasting results.

While it is always great to follow healthy lifestyle regimens such as getting good sleep and exercise, reducing your stress levels, and taking beneficial supplements, these are practices that will most likely boost the effects of a hair loss treatment, rather than become the treatment themselves. A google search may suggest you follow a certain diet, massage coconut oil or onion juice into your scalp, or simply take care not to brush your hair too hard or often, but these home remedies may or may not fit into your lifestyle and better alleviate your symptoms than treat the source of your hair loss.

Platelet rich plasma injections stimulate actual regrowth and promote healing, so when you’re practicing these better health habits, you’re doing it to see better success in your hair gains, instead of just praying that the hair growth will happen.

Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Procedure

Blood is collected from the patient and placed in a container. The container is then put into a centrifuge where it is rotated rapidly to separate blood components. The platelets separate from other blood components. Platelets are prepared for topical application and injection into the scalp. Local anesthesia is injected around the area to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Treatments are scheduled about one to two months apart, and three to four treatments are recommended with follow-up treatments at six months to one year. Some improvement in reversing miniaturization of hair follicles can be expected in the first two to three months. The treatments must be continued (every 1 or 2 years) to maintain any improvement.

How long until I see results from the treatment?

Every person is different, and so are their situations. While many people begin to see results as early as 2-3 months after their initial injection, another person may take more or less time.

Periodic treatments are highly recommended in order to maintain the health of the scalp and to promote long-lasting and highly satisfactory results.

How long do the growth benefits of PRP last?

Some people may go for maintenance every 3 to 4 months, others may only need to go once a year. Luckily, you can help improve your results with some altered health habits such as observing good nutrition and exercise regimen and with some TLC to your luscious new locks.

How can I best prepare for my treatments?

Staying hydrated and rested, eating healthily, and keeping your scalp clean is a great place to start! Avoid dyeing or bleaching your hair, tobacco and alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications.

Am I a good candidate?

While chronic health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure do not preclude you from PRP, it may not be recommended if you are on blood-thinning medication, have signs or symptoms of infection, or are a heavy smoker, as these may disrupt the healing process.

PRP is ideal for anyone who has hair transplants or has recently started experiencing hair loss.

Be sure to speak to our staff about any of your health concerns, we are compassionate and eager to help.

How many treatments are needed?

This will vary depending on your individual reactions and the severity of your hair loss. A typical treatment plan will involve scheduling a few periodic injections in the first few months. Once your scalp and hair follicles are healthy and stimulated, we will treat them only as necessary for maintenance.

Are there side effects?

Platelet Rich Plasma injections are a safe and natural therapy for healing the body. The procedure uses your own locally sourced growth factors to stimulate blood flow and healing in areas that just need a boost.

You may experience some initial tenderness at the site of the injection, as with any shot, but you will not be troubled by the itching, burning, or risk of reaction that other procedures may cause.

Female Hair Loss and Platelet Rich Plasma

Many women experience alopecia or hair thinning around the age of 35, with the beginning of perimenopause. As hormones begin to decline, women’s hair may become dry and brittle, leading to hair loss. Women can also struggle with hair loss following pregnancy, as their hormones are rebounding and returning to pre-pregnancy levels.

Some Of The Reasons Women Lose Their Hair Include:

  • Estrogen and progesterone imbalances
  • Hormonal decline
  • Childbirth
  • Hypothyroid
  • Hashimoto’s
  • Cushing’s disease
  • Medication side effects

While men may be accustomed to the idea of losing their hair, it can be truly devastating for women who lose luscious locks. Luckily, Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy can promote hair regrowth and restore lustrous hair volume and thickness.
