What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a component of your blood that is rich in platelets, which contain growth factors that promote healing and tissue regeneration. PRP has been used in various medical fields, including hair restoration, due to its regenerative properties.
How Does PRP Work for Hair Restoration?
PRP can be applied to the scalp using two primary methods:
- Microneedling: Tiny micro-wounds are created on the scalp, allowing PRP to penetrate deeper into the skin. This process enhances absorption and stimulates hair follicles.
- Direct Injection: PRP is injected into thinning areas under a topical anesthetic. A small blood sample is taken, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into targeted areas.
Most patients require multIPLe treatments to achieve the best results.
PRP Hair Restoration Treatment
PRP therapy stimulates hair follicles, encouraging them to enter an active growth phase. By injecting PRP into thinning areas of the scalp, growth factors may reactivate dormant follicles and improve hair density. Studies have shown that PRP can effectively support hair regrowth and complement other treatments. Growth factors in PRP include:
- Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Supports blood vessel growth and cell regeneration.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): Promotes the formation of new blood vessels.
- Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2): Encourages tissue healing and cell repair.
- Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-b): Plays a role in bone metabolism and cell structure formation.
- Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF): Supports collagen production, cell growth, and blood vessel formation.
- Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF): Regulates cell functions throughout the body.
The process starts with a quick blood draw, followed by centrifugation to separate the platelets. While the PRP is prepared, a topical numbing agent is applied. Injections are then placed every half-inch in the thinning area. The entire treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Patients typically resume normal activities immediately. Some mild swelling or tenderness may occur but usually resolves quickly. It is advised to avoid anti-inflammatory medications after treatment, as they can interfere with PRP’s natural healing process.
Results vary, but most patients notice reduced hair shedding within a few months. Over time, hair may become thicker and fuller. Consistent treatments are essential for maintaining long-term improvements.
PRP therapy is generally safe, with a low risk of complications. Some individuals may experience mild discomfort, minor swelling, or temporary itching at injection sites, but these effects usually resolve quickly.
Benefits of PRP Hair Restoration
PRP therapy offers several advantages:
- Natural Approach: Uses your own blood, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Minimally Invasive: Simple injections, no surgery required.
- Compatible with Other Treatments: Can be combined with medications or hair transplant procedures for enhanced results.
Research suggests PRP effectively supports hair regrowth with minimal side effects.
