PRP FOR HAIR LOSS: NON-SURGICAL PROCEDURE FOR HAIR REGROWTH
Plastic Surgery Dubai | 23 October 2024
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that is used to accelerate healing in various areas of the body. It may help restore hair growth.
Although PRP is a relatively new approach, there is some scientific evidence to suggest that it can promote hair growth. Cosmetic PRP Therapy Treatment harnesses the healing ability of your blood to regenerate healthy new tissue in the treatment area for natural improvement of thinning hair.
PRP therapy is a non-surgical hair restoration therapy in which the client’s platelets are extracted from their blood sample and injected into the scalp. It is a relatively new form of hair loss treatment that uses various proteins and growth factors to stimulate the body to heal and hair growth.
If you find that your hair lacks shine and density, and signs of aging are taking their toll, you may find this simple, convenient treatment can significantly reduce your hair loss.
If you have androgenetic alopecia (often called male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness) or alopecia areata, or have recently had a hair transplant, PRP therapy can help.
WHY CHOOSE PRP?
Hair loss is often caused by insufficient cell turnover in the scalp – making PRP the perfect treatment as it stimulates the production of new healthy cells. It’s easy and completely natural. PRP provides safe and reliable results with a very short recovery period. Only a small amount of blood will be drawn, just like a routine blood test, and local anesthesia will be used, so there will be no discomfort. PRP hair treatments provide effective results with a high success rate.
WHAT CAN PRP ACHIEVE?
– Fuller and healthier natural-looking hair
– Significantly increase of hair regrowth
– Production of new healthy cells
– Decreased hair dystrophy and burning or itching sensation
– Can serve as a safe and effective treatment option in Alopecia Areata
PRP HAIR LOSS THERAPY
PRP hair loss therapy is an effective treatment option for increasing hair density in individuals with certain types of hair loss disorders*
PRP hair loss therapy alone is effective in improving hair density and quality when injected into the scalp of men and women with early and mild androgenic alopecia and with telogen effluvium (after correcting the triggers of telogen effluvium). PRP hair loss therapy is effective in increasing hair density and hair quality in individuals with more advanced androgenic alopecia and androgenic alopecia lasting longer than 5 years. PRP hair loss therapy alone does not lead to hair regeneration in individuals with advanced hair loss with scarring and those with complete loss of hair follicles.
*Individual results vary with genetic, hormonal, environmental and other influences
WHAT IS THE PRP PROCEDURE?
The following steps are examples of common ways to inject PRP for hair loss:
– the doctor draws blood from a vein in your arm.
– you put the blood sample in a centrifuge.
– centrifuge spins blood and separates its components.
– the doctor removes the platelets with a syringe.
– doctors inject platelets into specific areas of the scalp.
The entire process may take about an hour and may require multiple sessions. After PRP treatment, a person can usually resume normal activities without any restrictions.
HOW MANY PRP TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
For the best result, Dr. Vigo recommends up to three treatments, 4-6 weeks apart, with top-ups at 6-24 months.
AFTER YOUR PRP PROCEDURE
There is no downtime for PRP so you can immediately return to your normal daily routine. It is recommended that strenuous activity and alcohol consumption is be avoided for 24 hours post procedure. The results of PRP can usually be seen between two to three months post treatment.
CLINICAL RESEARCH ON PRP TREATMENT EFFICACY FOR
THINNING HAIR
Platelet Rich Plasma is obtained by processing your blood in a centrifuge to get a concentrated mixture of your platelets. Platelets are small cells in your blood that are responsible for your body’s healing response to injury. Upon any injury, your platelets release a minimum of eight growth factors which initiate a cascade of events leading to regeneration of healthy tissue to repair the injured area. High-quality PRP leads to the appropriate growth factor release which results in healthy tissue regeneration for thicker hair when injected in these sites.
PRP hair repair promotes the growth of existing hair follicles through non-invasive prp technology, leaving your hair looking fuller and healthier.
Hair loss can be very distressing, and we understand that. PRP hair restoration treatment is an effective hair loss treatment that gives you the regenerating power you need and naturally fuller, thicker hair by harnessing the healing properties of your own blood.
