Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration is recommended for male or female patients who have mild to moderate hair loss with retained hair follicles. (PRP) an active capillary biostimulator therapy injections provide incredible results in treating hair loss or alopecia. It increases the amount and thickness of natural hair on your head.
Research and scientific studies have proven that the use of regenerative medicine (PRP) as the treatment against hair loss provide incredible results with fast recovery because normal body mechanisms are used as the growth factors present in the platelet-rich plasma of the patient.
Capillary biostimulation with PRP is a nonsurgical aesthetic treatment that allows to isolate and use the growth factors present in the patient’s blood to stimulate scalp health and prevent hair loss. The growth factors, in turn, create neovascularization (formation of new blood vessels) at the level of the hair follicle, which is essential for hair growth and regeneration. This process strengthens the hair root, increases the percentage of hair follicles and increases hair density (thickness) offering voluminous hair.
This treatment is indicated for male and female patients who have mild to moderate alopecia. It is highly effective at the beginning of hair loss, and it does not work for the treatment of alopecia totalis (complete loss of all head hair).
The Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration treatment is comprised of taking a small sample of blood from the patient’s arm. Then, the blood sample is placed in a centrifuge that will separate the various components of blood in platelet-rich plasma, platelet-poor plasma, and red blood cells. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma (regenerative cells) will be taken from the sample with a syringe. Topical anesthesia is applied on the scalp and allowed to act for 20 to 30 minutes. Subsequently, multiple microinjections of platelet-rich plasma in provided in the area of the scalp to be treated to produce the desired effect.
This treatment takes about 1 hour with no downtime. After the initial treatment, the injections are repeated once a month for the next three months, then the treatment is performed once every three to six months.
