PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for hair loss is a non-surgical, in-office treatment that uses the patient’s blood to repair hair follicles and stimulate growth. After identifying, evaluating, and measuring the problem area, photos are taken. Next, we draw a small blood sample from the patient and purify it in a special centrifuge to separate and concentrate plasma and platelets. Then we test the resulting plasma to measure and document the platelet concentration.
PRP contains cytokines and growth factors that have been shown successful for improving blood follicle function. The PRP can be combined with other solutions to help promote healthier and longer hair growth.
Before applying the PRP to the scalp, we prepare it with an anesthetic and antiseptic solution for a safe and pain-free experience. Next, we make small injections to deliver the PRP growth factors into the treatment site to strengthen and support hair follicle development and growth. Electronic microneedling is performed as well as a session of laser therapy at a low level to complete the treatment.
