.Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood's growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, improve hair density, and reduce shedding
Who is a Good Candidate?
The most successful results are typically seen in individuals with:
- Early-Stage Hair Loss: Best for those with mild to moderate thinning rather than complete baldness, as active follicles must still be present.
- Androgenetic Alopecia: Both men and women with pattern baldness are primary candidates for slowing loss and boosting density.
- Specific Thinning: Ideal for widening parts, receding hairlines, or thinning at the crown.
- Healthy Lifestyles: Non-smokers who are well-hydrated and have a balanced diet often respond better.
- Commitment to Treatment: Those willing to complete a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance.
Note: Individuals with blood disorders, active scalp infections, or those on certain blood-thinning medications may not be suitable candidates.
The Procedure
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is taken from your arm.
- Centrifugation: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets.
- Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected directly into the thinning areas of the scalp.
Aftercare Guidelines
To ensure optimal results and minimize irritation, follow these protocols:
- Washing: Avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours after treatment. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo for the first 72 hours.
- Activity: Refrain from strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 48–72 hours to prevent excessive sweating and swelling.
- Products: Do not use styling gels, hairsprays, or chemical dyes for at least 48 hours.
- Exposure: Protect the scalp from direct sun for 48 hours by wearing a clean hat.
- Comfort: Expect mild swelling or tenderness; sleeping with your head elevated for the first two nights can help.
