What Is PRP Hair Restoration?

"Experience an innovative solution for hair loss through the revolutionary PRP Hair Restoration Treatment! Both men and women can benefit from this non-surgical procedure, which contains growth factors that stimulate hair growth. This treatment is especially effective for hair thinning on the top of the head or hair loss in women due to a widening part.

PRP treatment is a quick and straightforward 30-minute procedure that involves drawing blood from your arm, separating it into two components: red blood cells and plasma. The plasma is rich in growth factors and white blood cells that promote hair growth. Dr. Edward O'Dell uses a specialized technique to extract the platelet-rich plasma and inject it directly into the scalp at the follicle level. The injections are spaced about half an inch apart over the affected area.

Following the initial treatments, patients are recommended to receive follow-up treatments every three to six months to maintain their hair's thickness and prevent further hair loss. Results are visible within two to three months, with less shedding and new hair growth.

PRP Hair Restoration FAQs

PRP hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure that involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting the PRP into the scalp. The growth factors in PRP are believed to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.

PRP contains growth factors and proteins that can enhance tissue repair and stimulate hair follicles. When PRP is injected into the scalp, it is thought to promote hair growth by increasing blood flow, prolonging the hair growth cycle, and encouraging dormant hair follicles to become active.

PRP hair restoration is most effective for individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss) and certain types of hair thinning or shedding. It may not be as effective for individuals with advanced baldness or scarring alopecia.

PRP hair restoration is generally well-tolerated, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is often applied to the scalp before the procedure to reduce any potential pain or discomfort during the injections.

The number of PRP sessions required can vary depending on the individual's degree of hair loss and their treatment goals. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, typically spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the best results. Maintenance sessions may also be recommended.

There is typically little to no downtime after PRP hair restoration. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Some may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a day or two.

Results from PRP hair restoration are gradual and may become noticeable within a few months. It can take several months to see significant improvements in hair thickness and growth. Consistency with the recommended treatment plan is essential for optimal results.

PRP hair restoration is considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare provider. Since PRP is derived from the patient's blood, the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects is minimal. However, as with any medical procedure, there may be some risks and potential side effects, which should be discussed with your provider.

Good candidates for PRP hair restoration are individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair loss, thinning, or shedding. It can be suitable for both men and women. A consultation with a healthcare provider can help determine if PRP hair restoration is appropriate for your specific needs and goals.

PRP hair restoration can be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with other hair loss therapies, such as topical medications to enhance results. Your healthcare provider can recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your situation.

PRP Hair Restoration is a non-surgical solution for hair loss in both men and women. Platelet Rich Plasma contains growth factors that naturally stimulate the development of new hair follicles while improving the health of existing hair follicles.

Our blood is made of two main components, red blood cells, and plasma. The plasma contains white blood cells and platelets, which are rich in growth factors.

Growth factors, in a sense, play the role of messengers, signaling skin cells to function. These growth factors can help stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth.Yuliya, MSN, FNP-C and her team Medically Certified Aestheticians use a unique process when using PRP for hair regrowth. There is first a standard blood draw from the patient’s arm. After being spun down in a centrifuge, the red blood cells are separated from the plasma. The plasma, rich in platelets, is then injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles.

Typically, the entire procedure takes less than a half hour; injections beginning across the scalp, approximately at every half inch over the area of thinning hair.

PRP is best used for patients with thinning hair that typically occurs along the top of the head. In women, this might look like a widening part with normal hair thickness at the back of the head.

Consistency is key. Treatments are typically performed once a month for the first three to four months, and then every three to six months thereafter, depending on the individual patient’s response and results. Following this protocol, anticipated results can first be seen within two to three months. Initially patients see a decrease in shedding and the general consensus is receiving treatments every three to six months is optimal for regrowth and stopping hair from falling out.

What to Expect

First, a blood sample is obtained and processed to extract the Platelet Rich Plasma. A topical anesthetic is applied to numb the area being treated. The PRP is then administered with a fine needle in a series of injections on the scalp.

Mild swelling and redness can be expected 1-2 days following the treatment. It is recommended to avoid vigorous activity until the swelling has subsided. There is no other downtime following the procedure. New hair growth can be seen as early as 2 months but is typically evident between 5-8 months and will continue to improve up to a year after treatment. For best results, a series of 4 sessions is typically recommended.
