Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
What Is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
One of our cutting-edge treatments… Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative FDA-cleared procedure designed to stimulate hair follicles and trigger natural hair regrowth. PRP therapy involves injecting concentrated platelets from the patient’s own blood into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles.
Clinical studies have reported positive results in hair regrowth and increased hair density. It is a minimally invasive procedure that revitalizes your scalp to restore stronger and healthier strands. In the world of hair restoration, PRP is a game-changer.
How PRP Works for Hair Regrowth
PRP therapy employs a revolutionary technique that stimulates hair follicles – fostering stronger and more robust hair growth. Even seemingly dormant follicles may not be beyond revival.
Platelet-rich plasma contains potent growth factors that activate adult stem cells, encourage cell growth, and promote new blood vessel formation – ensuring the revitalization of once-dormant follicles. PRP therapy not only triggers the growth of new hair but also improves the health and thickness of existing hair. It’s an ideal option for individuals with thinning hair.
Can Your Own Blood Cure Hair Loss?
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy (or PRP) has been in use for decades. You may have heard the term “Vampire Treatment” or “Vampire Facial” in recent years as a popular cosmetic procedure.
PRP was initially used alongside major surgical procedures due to the many properties it has which aids with wound closure, reducing inflammation, and increasing new cell growth. Forms of PRP Therapy are even used by professional athletes – PRP injection and similar therapies are used to speed up healing and return to play after an injury. In some cases, people have even reported it improved their overall performance on the field.
At Precision Hair Restoration, we utilize Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) as both a stand-alone therapy and also a vital adjunct in hair transplantation procedures. PRP not only accelerates wound healing at the transplant site but also sparks immediate hair regrowth post-surgery, providing a comprehensive solution.
Platelet-rich plasma consists of two parts: Plasma (the liquid portion of blood) and Platelets (a type of blood cell). Platelets play an integral role in your body’s healing process. Platelets are best known for forming clots in wounds and damaged blood vessels to prevent and stop bleeding. But they also contain growth factors which can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate the regeneration of tissue. The term “Platelet-Rich Plasma” simply means that the blood contains a higher concentration of platelets per volume than normal.
