PRP: Grow your hair naturally

Let’s talk hair loss! This can be devastating since our society puts so much value on hair, its an aesthetic and a symbol of youth and beauty. Losing hair can have a huge impact on self confidence, and can affect both men and women. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) offers a non surgical way to reduce and reverse hair loss. 

The natural healing properties of PRP have been used on muscles, tendons, and ligaments for years, and cosmetically for patients with alopecia (hair loss) as well as wrinkles. 

Platelets are small, colorless cells that live in our blood along side the immunity machine (the white blood calls) and the oxygen- carbon dioxide carrying red blood cells. Through the process of PRP, the platelets are separated from the red and white blood cells and injected back into the body. Once there, they break down, and release growth factors. These growth factors help cells repair and renew, triggering the body's natural healing powder. 

PRP has cell renewal properties that stimulate the scalp, encourage hair growth, increase the blood supply to hair follicles, and increases hair thickness. Typically its done every 6 weeks for three treatments and can be maintained yearly after desired results are achieved. 

The treatment is three parts: first, the blood is drawn, then it is spun around in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from the red and white blood cells, and last the isolate PRP is injected into the scalp. It is a simple, non-surgical method that helps patients regain that confidence with minimal risk!
