Hair Loss is Devastating for Many People PRP Helps Restore Hair

Hair loss can be caused by several different factors, age, alopecia, cancer treatments, family history, and various other disorders. No matter what the cause, for many individuals dealing with the loss of hair can be traumatic and devastating. There is a natural way to restore your hair growth, right in the comfort of your dermatologist’s office with a biologic therapy. Many people know about its numerous rejuvenating and healing health benefits, it’s called PRP.

How PRP helps to regrow hair
PRP has several growth factors that help to restore hair loss. PRP stimulates new hair to grow, keeps existing hair growing, and also stimulates the stem cells that are around the hair follicles to thicken the shaft of the hair. Advanced PRP Hair Restoration delivers your own PRP to naturally treat the areas of concern and restore healthy, hair growth.

How often do I need treatment?
Most patients do best with once-a-month injections over a four-to-five-month period. Reducing hair loss and rejuvenating hair growth is possible with PRP. Because PRP utilizes the patient’s own blood, the risk for infection or treatment complications are at a minimal to zero risk level.

How is PRP Made?
A small amount of the patients own blood is drawn. The blood is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells, platelet rich plasma, and plasma. Once the PRP is ready to be reinjected into the affected areas of the scalp, the amount of growth factors and enzymes within the PRP help to stimulate the formation of new hair, heal the scalp, prevent hair loss and to thicken the hair follicles.

If you are looking for a more natural yet effective way to restore hair growth or to thicken thinning hair, PRP is a remarkable treatment that is safe, effective, and well-studied.
