PRP as a Treatment for Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common problem, especially for men. It can be a frustrating experience made all the more painful by the fact that you’re seemingly powerless to stop it. There are many services out there that claim to be the solution to hair loss, but there has never been a definitive solution to this problem.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) promotes the natural growth of hair and skin cells. PRP injections to the scalp can help your hair naturally grow back thicker and fuller. Like any hair loss treatment, this treatment is not the answer for everyone’s hair loss problems. However, many patients have had positive results with the treatment and the scientific reasoning behind it has been confirmed in several studies.

Is This the Right Treatment for Me?

Not every patient is a good candidate for PRP as a hair restoration treatment. The severity of the hair loss and the underlying causes behind it will play a factor. Patients with early hair loss typically experience the best results. PRP has also shown promising results for patients with genetically thinning hair that begins at the top of the head.

In order for PRP hair restoration to be effective, you will need consistent treatments over the course of several months. In the beginning, treatment should result in less shedding. As time goes on, the hair should begin to regrow and increase in length. After receiving an initial round of treatment once a month for three to four months, you can then scale down to a more long-term schedule of once every three to six months.

Whether or not PRP hair restoration is the right treatment for you is ultimately a personal decision. Research and patient experience are promising, but you should ask your care provider questions before agreeing to treatment. Make sure you know what you’re getting into so that you can feel confident this is the right course for you.
