PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP Therapy) for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment: Your blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into your scalp to stimulate hair growth. These injections can trigger natural hair growth and maintain hair growth by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications, such as HydraFacial Keravive.
Because PRP stems from your blood, it’s an incredibly safe and effective alternative to synthetic hair loss solutions. You won’t be at risk of contracting any disease or developing an allergic reaction.
How PRP Therapy Works
PRP Therapy for hair loss is a simple, three-step process.
Step 1:
Your blood is drawn (typically from your arm) and put into a centrifuge to be separated.
Step 2:
Your blood will then separate into three layers:
- Platelet-poor plasma
- Platelet-rich plasma
- Red blood cells
Step 3:
The platelet-rich plasma is injected into the areas of your scalp that need extra hair growth.
