How Does PRP Work for Hair Restoration?

The main purpose of PRP injections for hair restoration is to stimulate inactive hair follicles into active growth. Platelet cells promote healing and accelerate tissue regeneration and new cellular growth. They stimulate stem cells in the environment of the hair follicle, which is believed to contribute to hair growth.

Growth factors are substances required for the stimulation of growth in living cells. Alpha granules in platelets contain a variety of growth factors that are released in the healing process.

Benefits of PRP Hair Loss Treatment

PRP therapy has a number of advantages for patients with hair loss or thinning hair:

• Autologous treatment (using a substance obtained from your own body)

• Simple, non-surgical procedure

• Multiple injections in one treatment

• Procedure typically takes less than an hour

• No downtime after treatment

• Safe, reliable, natural-looking results

If you have weak quality or thinning hair, where functioning hair follicles can still be observed, or small bald spots on the scalp, you may be a good candidate for PRP hair restoration. Schedule a consultation with Age Defying Beauty to find out if this natural hair loss treatment is recommended for you.

When Can I Start Seeing Results?

While PRP is very effective, you will have to be very patient with the results. Usually, you can see the results coming in by 3 or 6 months. On the other hand, this response can differ from person to person, with some getting the effects of PRP earlier whereas others might have to see the effects after 6 months.

How long does PRP last?

The results of PRP hair restoration vary based on your unique biology and type of hair loss. For longer-term results, we recommend starting with a series of 3 or 4 treatments a month apart. (You’ll probably start noticing improvement within 2-3 months.) The results will last roughly one year from when you started treatment. Most of our clients schedule follow-up treatments every 6 to 12 months. 

Is It Okay To Go Back To Work After A PRP Hair Treatment?

Yes, it is perfectly fine to go back to work after you have a PRP treatment. However, keep your own comfort in mind. If your scalp feels too inflamed or swollen, be sure to exercise some precaution and keep it out of the sun or covered all the time.

Does PRP Therapy For Hair Loss Work On Bald Areas Too?

PRP treatment can produce growth of new hair cells in bald areas on the scalp. However, it gives the best results in areas where there is already some existing, but thinning hair.

How Good Are The Prp Hair Restoration Results?

While the platelet-rich plasma treatment is still considered to be relatively new, there is substantial data available that showcases the positive results it makes. Moreover, your physician will also work with you to monitor the results you’re getting. 

Are There Any Side Effects To PRP?

PRP is completely safe for use and there are only minor side effects to deal with such as slight discomfort, swelling and temporary inflammation which will subside in a few hours. Since the platelet-rich plasma procedure is extremely safe, there’s no cause for alarm here.

Is PRP hair treatment a permanent solution?

PRP delivers long-lasting hair regrowth and prevention of further thinning and loss, but like many hair restoration solutions, it is temporary. The treatment only remains effective as long as you’re continuing to keep up with your maintenance visits. 

Why is PRP Hair Restoration a Good Option?

For many people, plasma hair treatments have proven to be the best option. Originally, PRP injections were used in aiding muscle repair, but the solution has shown favorable results when it comes to treating alopecia as well. 

PRP therapy for hair loss is also a good option for people who are unable to get a hair transplant and would benefit more from non-invasive surgical methods. The following are a few more points that showcase why plasma hair treatment is a good idea.

• Completely Natural – In many cosmetic procedures, you have to keep a person’s allergies and other things in mind. On the other hand, the risk of any problems with PRP hair treatment is extremely low since the plasma solution is created from a person’s own blood. No one is injected with anyone else’s solution. Moreover, this activated plasma also triggers a completely normal and natural process in the body. Growth of new hair follicles occurs in a natural manner which is in line with the natural growth process of the body.

• More Benefits – The PRP injection solution that is injected into the body is beneficial in helping with a number of other ailments such as bumps, bruises, muscle injuries and more. It also helps boost the growth protein in the body which works naturally to produce stronger and more hair follicles on the scalp. Given time, these then grow into natural, healthy hair that is resistant to alopecia. 

• Low Recovery Time – With surgical procedures, such as transplants, a person needs to take some time off since their scalp can be tender, swollen and bruised. Luckily, with PRP therapy, there are no such things to look out for. As a non-invasive procedure that can be administered with the help of an injection and requires around 30 to 45 minutes, a person rarely ever needs more than a day to recover from the procedure. Even then, they can easily resume their regular activities after a session of PRP injections.

• Slow but Steady Results – While hair transplants usually show a person visible results, with plasma hair treatment, a person can expect slow but steady results. Repeat sessions are needed and results are usually visible around the 3rd or 6th month for certain cases. Nonetheless, these are more long-lasting and more natural results. Keep in mind that the severity of alopecia will definitely make an impact on the kind of hair growth you experience from the use of Platelet Rich Plasma.

• Painless –PRP  therapy is a virtually painless as compared to processes such as hair transplants which leave the scalp swollen and tender. While PRP injectionscan cause some mild discomfort, it is usually not intolerable and one can easily bear with it throughout the process. Inflammation and temporary soreness are common but extreme discomfort is rarely experienced. 

All these reasons and more contribute to make prp injection for hair loss a good process to consider, especially for alopecia patients.
