Got thinning or receding hair? 

 

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, stimulates hair growth and slows hair loss for an effective method of fighting this creeping sign of aging. 

 

The way PRP works to restore hair is a 3-step process. First, your blood is drawn, typically from your arm as with many other medical tests or procedures. Next, the blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the components—blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and platelet-rich plasma—for the PRP extraction. Last, we inject the extracted PRP into your scalp where your hair is thinning.

 

Growth factors in the PRP begin to take over. Stem cells are stimulated to reverse any miniaturization of existing hair follicles. The hair you have is encouraged to maintain robust growth. PRP also promotes new follicles to form by increasing collagen and keratin production, which is the building block of the hair cuticle. The results are thicker hairs, an increase in the number of hair follicles, and improved blood flow for a more fertile scalp for the hair to continue to grow.​
