PRP Hair Restoration is the process of using your own platelet-rich plasma to assist with the regrowth of hair. PRP contains a range of growth factors and proteins that speed tissue repair and can help damaged hair follicles. This process can assist with hair growth and thinning hair due to genetics and medical conditions.

After photos and consent has been obtained, the patient’s blood is drawn. The tube/tubes are then placed in a centrifuge which is a machine that spins at a rapid rate and separates the components of the blood. The rich platelets are then extracted and placed into a syringe. The medical professional will then inject under the skin in the affected area. This procedure is generally done in a short office visit of about 1 hour.

As the PRP solution consists of a person’s own blood components, there are few risks of a reaction to the solution itself. However, people undergoing PRP treatments for hair loss may experience the following:
• Mild pain at the injection site
• Scalp tenderness
• Swelling
• A headache
• Itching
• Temporary bleeding at the injection site

Researchers have found evidence that PRP can lead to renewed hair growth. PRP is generally treated 4-6 weeks apart with 3 treatments and maintenance is recommended 1-2 times yearly. A great benefit to using PRP is that you are using your body’s own substance which results in very rare cases of adverse reactions.
