Who is a good candidate for PRP hair restoration treatment?
PRP hair restoration treatment, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a non-surgical solution for individuals dealing with various types of hair loss conditions. However, our patients must understand their suitability for this treatment. Ideal candidates for PRP treatment at our practice typically meet the following criteria: Active Hair Growth: Our PRP treatment is most effective in stimulating the growth of existing hair follicles. Therefore, we often recommend this treatment to individuals in the early stages of hair loss, where follicles are still active. Type of Hair Loss: Our patients experiencing androgenic alopecia, a condition characterized by patterned thinning of the hair, often see positive results from PRP. Both men and women with this condition, also known as male or female pattern baldness, can benefit from this treatment at our practice. Early to Moderate Hair Loss: PRP treatment is most effective in the early to moderate stages of hair loss. For individuals with advanced hair loss, we can discuss other options, as the results of PRP may be limited. Overall Health and Realistic Expectations: Our patients in good physical health generally see better results from PRP, as their bodies are more capable of healing and regenerating cells. We also encourage our patients to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the treatment. Absence of Underlying Conditions: PRP hair restoration may not be suitable for individuals with conditions such as blood diseases, liver diseases, skin diseases, or any type of cancer. Additionally, patients on certain types of medications, such as blood thinners, might also be ineligible for treatment. No Active Skin Conditions: The treatment area should be free from any active skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, that could affect the injection process or compromise the healing. Age Considerations: PRP hair restoration is generally recommended for individuals between the ages of 18 and 65 at our practice. However, we may still consider older individuals if they meet the other criteria. Our team can provide a comprehensive evaluation and guide you through the decision-making process.
