What is PRP for Hair Restoration?
PRP for hair restoration is a minimally invasive procedure that involves extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to isolate platelet-rich plasma containing growth factors, and injecting it into the scalp to promote hair growth. PRP therapy has been shown to stimulate dormant hair follicles, increase blood flow to the scalp, and improve the overall health of the hair follicles, leading to thicker, fuller hair.
Who Is a Candidate for PRP for Hair Restoration?
Ideal candidates for PRP for hair restoration are individuals experiencing hair thinning, hair loss, or a receding hairline who are looking for a non-surgical solution to improve hair density and quality. PRP therapy is suitable for both men and women and can be effective for various types of hair loss, including male pattern baldness, female pattern hair loss, and alopecia areata. During a consultation at Snyder Dermatology, our dermatologists will assess your hair loss concerns and determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Restoration
PRP therapy offers numerous benefits for patients seeking to restore their hair, including:
Holistic Approach: PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood, making it a safe and natural treatment option with minimal risk of adverse reactions or complications.
Non-Surgical: Unlike hair transplant surgery, PRP for hair restoration is a non-surgical procedure that requires no incisions or anesthesia, resulting in minimal downtime and discomfort.
Stimulates Hair Growth: PRP contains growth factors that promote cell growth and tissue regeneration, stimulating dormant hair follicles and promoting the growth of new, healthy hair.
Improves Hair Health and Quality: PRP therapy increases hair density and improves the quality and texture of the existing hair, resulting in thicker, stronger strands.
Quick Treatment: PRP treatments are typically performed in-office and can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately afterward.
PRP for Hair Restoration Procedure
During a PRP for hair restoration procedure at Snyder Dermatology, a small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. The concentrated PRP is then injected into the scalp at targeted areas of hair loss or thinning using a fine needle. The entire procedure is performed in-office and typically takes about 60 minutes to complete.
