Hair loss can be a devastating experience for both men and women. After all, our hair is a large part of our identity and appearance, as well as our confidence.
Whether it is due to a medical condition, medication, aging, hormonal imbalance, stress or something else, it’s important to know that there are options out there to help stop shedding hair and even regrow it.
PRP – or platelet-rich plasma – is one such option.
PRP is derived from one’s own blood. It contains growth factors that are healing and natural and that have been used in regenerative medicine and even in treating elite athletes’ injuries for years.
Read on to learn how your own PRP can be used to regrow your own hair.
How does PRP for hair growth work?
The benefits of PRP for hair growth are vast and are helping countless people not only regain their hair, but their self-esteem.
When injected into the scalp in areas where thinning is present, the growth factors in PRP go to work to strengthen existing hair and encourage regrowth.
The beauty of the treatment is that it uses your body’s very own healing capabilities, rather than pharmaceuticals or harsh topical treatments that may or may not be effective.
The treatment itself is done in office and takes about an hour.
First, a small amount of blood is drawn, then the blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood. After, the powerful platelets are injected.
It’s important to note that you should be in the early to moderate stages of hair loss and still have some active hair follicles to be an ideal candidate for PRP hair growth injections. A consultation can determine more.
