Why Should You Choose Platelet Rich Plasma For Hair Restoration?

Blood is made of two key elements including red blood cells and plasma. The plasma holds both white blood cells and platelets, which are rich in growth factors. These work like messengers, sending a signal to skin cells to function and restore tissue damage within the body. Since hair loss is often caused by a scalp that lacks nutrients, or damaged hair follicles, they can help stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

While injections of platelet rich plasma for hair restoration trigger natural hair growth, they also help maintain its growth by augmenting the blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications to obtain the best results.

What Is The Process?

The process starts with a standard blood draw from the patient’s arm. The blood is placed in a centrifuge which spins it to separate the red blood cells from the plasma.

The platelet rich plasma is then injected across the scalp at the level of the hair follicles about every half inch over the area of thinning hair. The whole procedure takes less than a half hour, and there are virtually no side effects from platelet rich plasma for hair restoration.

Are You A Good Candidate?

Any individual suffering from hair loss is a good candidate for platelet rich plasma for hair growth although those with early hair loss tend to see the best results. In women, this might look like a widening part with normal hair thickness throughout the rest of the head.

What Results Can You Expect?

In order to obtain the best results, consistency is essential. Treatments are usually performed once a month for the first three to four months. After this initial period, they occur every three to six months, depending on the individual’s response and results. Once this treatment protocol is concluded, results can be seen within two to three months.
