Hair Restoration - PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is an acronym for Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy. This procedure is also used to treat fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars by building collagen. The therapy involves drawing a clients own blood and centrifuging it so that the platelets of plasma collects in the tube. These platelets that are very useful in tissue regeneration and healing, are then injected to the areas suffering from hair loss.
Blood platelets, which are created in your bone marrow, are a crucial factor in healing a cut on your skin. When your skin is cut, platelets rush to the area of damage forming a clot to repair the damage. PRP is concentrated plasma with three to five times the number of platelets. PRP. which has been used to facilitate wound healing and skin rejuvenation. are now put to work restoring thinning hair.
How does PRP restore hair?
The science behind why PRP regrows hair is that the high concentration of platelets stimulates the stem cells and other cells in the hair follicles. The platelets initiate new cellular growth, promote healing and accelerate tissue regeneration. The primary goal in hair restoration is to stimulate inactive or resting hair follicles. This treatment encourages those follicles to get back to the business of growing hair.
Who can benefit from PRP?
Women and men who have thinning hair, and those with alopecia (hair loss at the top of the scalp and a receding hairline especially along the temples).
