Have you noticed your hair thinning? Or maybe you’ve seen random areas of hair loss diffuse throughout your scalp and thought about getting hair transplants. Although NeoGraft® is an option for some patients, not everyone is a candidate for hair transplants. Candidacy for hair transplants depends on the individual’s donor area, age, type of hair loss, etc.
However, by the time hair loss is noticeable, you’ve probably already lost about half of your hair follicles. It’s best to take action immediately and protect the hair follicles that are left. We have multiple alternative treatments that protect and rejuvenate remaining hair follicles, all with high satisfaction rates.
During a PRP treatment, we use the patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which contains growth factors that encourage hair follicles to grow thicker, stronger hair. These growth factors in the serum and platelets are the main agents that stimulate hair follicle repair. All PRP treatments are NOT Created Equal! We have a double spin centrifuge system that delivers the highest percentage of platelets and growth factors.
What is a PRP Treatment Like?
We begin the procedure by drawing 30-60 cc's of the patient’s blood. That blood will go through a specialized system that concentrates the blood platelets, providing platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which has the appearance and consistency of honey. The PRP is then injected into the areas affected by hair loss on the scalp.
Most appointments take about an hour, including the blood draw. The scalp might be red and irritated for a few days. Each patient responds differently to treatments. We recommend seeing you again for three sessions, 4-6 weeks apart, and then every 6 months for maintenance.
PRP treatments have high patient satisfaction rates. This treatment works well with women, younger men, and those looking for an affordable hair restoration option.
We offer PRP treatments as an independent procedure, as well as in conjunction with hair transplants.
