What is PRP hair restoration?
PRP hair restoration is a non-surgical treatment for thinning hair in men and women. A small amount of your own blood is processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then placed into the scalp to support existing and dormant hair follicles. Every candidate is evaluated first, and results vary.
At the Michigan Center for Regenerative Medicine, we offer hair loss treatments that may help slow hair loss and support thicker, healthier hair. We’ll take a closer look at some of the more common treatments for hair loss and how they compare to regenerative medicine treatments at our Rochester Hills regenerative medicine center.
What Are Some of the Common Causes of Hair Loss
There are many causes of hair loss in both men and women. While male pattern baldness is by far the most common type of hair loss, there are other common causes as well, including:
- Genetics (male and female pattern baldness)
- Hormonal changes
- Stress-related shedding
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Aging
- Thyroid imbalance
Depending on the root cause of your hair loss, some treatments are more effective than others. We’ll take a closer look at some of the more common regenerative medicine treatments we offer to our Rochester hair loss patients.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Hair Loss in Rochester Hills
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a common regenerative medicine treatment used to help patients manage pain and restore damaged or degenerated tissues. For patients with hair loss, platelet-rich plasma therapy is used to stimulate hair follicles and improve overall scalp circulation. With platelet-rich plasma therapy, your blood will be drawn and placed into a device called a centrifuge that spins the blood at high speeds. This causes platelets and plasma to separate from other blood components and become concentrated. Once concentrated, this serum will be injected into the scalp, stimulating hair follicles to produce hair. If medication-based approaches to hair loss haven’t helped you with your hair loss, platelet-rich plasma therapy may be an effective treatment option for you. Curious about pricing? Our PRP cost breakdown explains what affects the total.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy Versus Medications for Hair Loss
While medications like Minoxidil and finasteride are often the first line of treatment for hair loss patients in Rochester Hills, they don’t work for everyone. Hair loss medications have other issues as well, including:
- Need for ongoing daily use
- Results that may slow or stop over time
- Hair loss returning after stopping treatment
- Potential side effects
- Limited improvement in scalp quality or circulation
Platelet-rich plasma therapy treatments for hair loss, on the other hand, come with the benefits of less risk of side effects and can even be combined with your current hair loss medication if you’re seeing some level of results from your current treatment. As with all hair loss treatments, platelet-rich plasma therapy tends to work best for hair loss when administered as soon as possible. If you’re experiencing hair loss, contact our Rochester Hills hair loss specialists today to set up a consultation for platelet-rich plasma therapy hair loss treatments.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
PRP tends to work best for people with thinning hair whose follicles are still active, such as early pattern hair loss. It is less likely to help areas that have been bald for a long time. Your provider will review your history, medications, and possible causes of hair loss, such as thyroid or iron problems, before recommending treatment. Read hair thinning treatments for women.
