PRP Hair Loss Treatment: A Natural and Effective Way to Restore Your Hair

Are you struggling with hair loss? If so, you’re not alone. Millions of women experience hair loss each year. There are many different treatments available, but PRP hair loss treatment is one of the most effective and natural options.

PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It’s a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth. The blood is drawn from your arm and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets. The platelets are then injected into the areas of your scalp where hair loss is occurring.

Benefits include:

  • Stimulates hair growth
  • Can help to prevent further hair loss
  • Natural treatment and minimally invasive

How it Works

PRP hair loss treatment works by delivering growth factors to the hair follicles. Growth factors are proteins that help to stimulate hair growth. When they’re injected into the scalp, they can help to promote new hair growth and prevent further hair loss.

Step 1: Blood Draw

A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm using a needle and syringe. The blood is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the other blood cells. The PRP is the concentrated portion of the blood that contains growth factors and other proteins.

Step 2: Injection

The PRP is injected into the scalp in areas of concern.

FAQ

How many treatments do I need?

The number of treatments you need will vary depending on the severity of your hair loss. Most people need 3 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

How long do the results last?

The results of PRP hair loss treatment can last for several years. However, it’s important to maintain the results by getting regular touch-up treatments once a year.

How soon can I see results?

It typically takes 3-6 months from the start of the first treatment to begin seeing measurable results. However, many patients begin to see improvements between treatments such as hair shaft thickening, improvement in texture and new growth of hair follicles.

Is PRP hair loss treatment painful?

PRP hair loss treatment is not painful. Prior to treatment, a numbing agent is rubbed into the scalp to minimize any discomfort and many patients report feeling no pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may feel soreness or discomfort at the injection sites but this can be addressed over the counter Tylenol.

Is PRP hair loss treatment covered by insurance?

PRP hair loss treatment is typically not covered by insurance.

Is it safe?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) procedures are generally safe because the patient’s own blood is being used to treat a condition. As opposed to injecting foreign bodies or medicines where allergic reactions happen at a higher rate, injecting your body with its own PRP poses less risk. However, the risk of injecton itself always carries potential risks such as infection, nerve damage, pain at injection site and tissue damage. This is why it is so important to have your treatment with a licensed and reputable provider such as Pure Medspa, where safety and comfort are our top priority.

Are there any contraindications or reasons I wouldn’t be a candidate?

As with any PRP treatment if you have an active cancer or blood platelet disorder the procedure is not for you. PRP uses your own blood to stimulate growth and rejuvenation, therefore your blood health and ability to heal should be in prime condition in order to achieve your desired result.
