Is your hair less thick than it once was and starting to thin out in noticeable areas? Thinning hair can adversely impact your life, negatively affecting your self-confidence. Whether hair thinning is hereditary pattern balding or caused by alopecia, losing your hair can leave you feeling self conscious about the way you look. But there are options available for you.
Some of the causes of hair loss include male pattern baldness, genetics, hormonal changes, age, illness, and stress. No matter what the cause, there is a treatment that can promote new hair growth while at the same time revitalizing your existing hair.
Also known as Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP hair restoration is a safe and non-invasive procedure that regenerates and stimulates hair follicles to promote new hair growth.
PRP is considered to be one of the most effective and natural treatments for hair loss. Here’s why.
About PRP
PRP injections have long been used for a number of years to treat arthritis and joint and muscle injuries and pain. PRP has been used successfully by Clinique Antiaging for hair restoration for several years. PRP hair restoration uses your own blood to extract plasma that is rich in platelets and nutrients. These plasma rich platelets are cells that help your body heal and revitalize tissue, thereby generating new cells.
When these platelets are isolated and injected into your scalp, your body uses its natural tissue to regenerate cells and stimulate hair growth.
How the PRP Process Works
You’ll see best results with consistent PRP treatments. Depending on your hair loss condition and factors such as genetics, age, and hormonal balance, you can expect to undergo a series of multiple treatments for optimal hair restoration.
Here’s how the process works:
- A sample of your blood will be collected from your arm, much the same as a routine blood test.
- This blood will be placed into a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma and platelets from the red and white blood cells.
- After the blood has been separated, the platelet rich plasma is extracted and ready for use.
- The PRP is injected into your scalp into the area being treated.
- You can expect each procedure to take about 45minutes.
The Benefits of PRP Treatments
The non-invasive procedure of PRP can increase the production and growth of new hair. Because this is a natural treatment that uses injected plasma from your own body, PRP doesn’t cause infections or allergic reactions.
Other advantages of PRP hair restoration include:
- Hair looks healthier and thicker.
- Each procedure takes about 45 minutes without recovery or downtime.
- Minimal discomfort. PRP doesn’t involve surgery, with only minor discomfort during the procedure.
- Safe to use. Using your own cells there is little risk of rejection.
- Each treatment is personalized.
- Multiple areas can be treated at one time.
Expectations and Results
One of the reasons PRP is so popular is that it is a natural way to stimulate hair. Individual results will vary from person to person, with new hair growth potential after a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced monthly. You can expect to see results within these 3 to 4 months.
PRP hair restoration sees best results when used in combination with these other non-invasive treatments:
Laser therapy
Laser therapy is used to encourage hair follicles to grow by stimulating and improving blood circulation and supply. Painless and safe to use, Fotona laser therapy can be used for hair restoration as well as for skin tightening and to smooth skin imperfections.
Antioxidant and vitamin injections
Injections of antioxidants and vitamins every 3 to 4 months are also recommended alongside PRP hair restoration therapy. Antioxidants play a huge role in hair and skin health and can help to rejuvenate your hair as it starts to grow.
Vitamin cocktails can help to slow down hair loss and male baldness. A combination of vitamins C, B, selenium, and zinc can be used to help stimulate hair growth when used in conjunction with PRP.
Last Words on PRP
Using innovative technology, PRP is a good treatment plan for both men and women who are experiencing thinning hair. Working with qualified and caring clinics such as Clinique Antiaging, PRP hair restoration can restore the fullness of your hair and bring back your self-confidence.
