How Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy Enhances Hair Restoration

At Vina Laser Med Spa, our team understands how distressing and noticeable hair loss can be for men and women of all ages. If you are one of the 80 million Americans dealing with hair loss, we are here to help! Vina Laser Med Spa offers hair restoration services based on your unique needs. One of the ways we help restore hair is with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, a nonsurgical, noninvasive treatment. This treatment will not only stop hair loss from happening, but also will enhance your hair growth.

What is PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your own platelets to stimulate new hair growth. The power of the PRP therapy comes from the important nutrients and growth factors that your platelets contain.

During your PRP hair restoration treatment, we start out by drawing a small amount of your blood. The blood is then treated to separate your platelets from the rest of your blood. We use this platelet-rich concentrate to create the plasma. Then, the PRP plasma gets injected into the target areas that were predetermined by your aesthetician to promote new hair growth. Since we use your own blood, there are a few side effects to PRP therapy. When they do occur, the most common side effects include soreness and discomfort at the injection sites.

Something we take pride in is the minimal downtime involved with this treatment! This is something that can be done in less than one hour, with you able to get back to your regular activities right away.

Why is PRP Therapy so Effective at Regrowing Hair?

Clinical research has proved that PRP hair restoration therapy works by reversing thinning hair and promoting new hair growth. Studies indicate that the high concentration of platelets in the PRP plasma works in several ways to achieve success.

One-way PRP therapy helps restore your hair is by prolonging the growing phase of your hair cycle. This will help keep your existing hair longer. Also, PRP contains growth factors that stimulate new hair follicles. This helps new hair to grow in areas where hair is thinning.

Even though PRP therapy is extremely effective in reversing hair loss, it does NOT work overnight. Since it is stimulating your natural hair growth and works with your hair cycle, it can take two to three months to start seeing results.

Is PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Right for Me?

Since PRP treatment is considered a safe, most adults experiencing hair loss are eligible for PRP therapy. But it’s important to seek advice from a hair restoration expert, like Dr. Usha, before starting any hair treatment because many factors go into choosing the best treatment for your needs.

For example, if you have certain underlying medical conditions, like lupus, thyroid disease, a bleeding disorder, or skin cancer, PRP therapy may not work as effectively for you. We will evaluate your scalp and hair loss as well as your medical history to create a personalized treatment plan that will give you the best results possible.
