What is PRP Hair Restoration?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate natural hair growth. By using the body’s own growth factors, derived from your blood, PRP therapy enhances the health of your hair follicles, leading to thicker and fuller hair over time.

PRP therapy is a great option for both men and women who are experiencing hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. This minimally invasive treatment has been widely recognized for its effectiveness in hair restoration, offering a natural solution to boost hair growth without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

The PRP process starts with a small blood draw. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun to separate the platelets from other components of the blood. The resulting platelet-rich plasma contains concentrated growth factors, which are key in promoting healing and regeneration.

Once the PRP is prepared, it is carefully injected into targeted areas of the scalp. These growth factors work to stimulate dormant or weakened hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and increasing the thickness of existing hair. The process takes about 60 to 90 minutes and is performed in-office.

Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration

  • Natural and Non-Surgical: PRP therapy uses your own blood, so there are no foreign substances or surgical incisions.
  • Minimal Downtime: Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
  • Effective for Hair Thinning: PRP is most effective for patients in the early stages of hair thinning or mild to moderate hair loss.
  • Safe and Proven: The PRP process has been used in various medical treatments for years, ensuring its safety and efficacy.

Is PRP Hair Restoration Right for You?

PRP Hair Restoration is ideal for patients who are experiencing thinning hair but still have active hair follicles. It works best for those with mild to moderate hair loss, and it can be especially beneficial for:

  • Men and women experiencing androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
  • Those looking to improve the density of thinning hair
  • Individuals who want to avoid surgery and are looking for a natural approach

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Shaili Gal will assess your hair loss pattern and determine if PRP therapy is the best option for you.
2. Treatment Process: On the day of your procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm and processed to isolate the PRP. The PRP is then injected into your scalp in the areas experiencing thinning hair.
3. Post-Treatment: There is minimal downtime after PRP treatment, with most patients returning to their daily routine the same day. Mild scalp soreness may occur but typically resolves quickly.

Results and Maintenance

Results from PRP Hair Restoration are not immediate, as hair growth is a gradual process. Most patients begin to see improvements in hair thickness and density within 3 to 6 months of treatment. For optimal results, a series of 3 to 4 treatments is recommended, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months may be needed to sustain the results.
