What Is PRP-Hair Loss Treatment

PRP-Hair Loss Treatment is a revolutionary, non-surgical technique for natural hair restoration and has become a popular hair rejuvenation treatment for the beginning stages of male and female pattern baldness. PRP is produced through an extraction process, from your own blood cells. This powerful regenerative substance is then meticulously injected into your scalp at various intervals to stimulate the hair follicles.

Our Charlotte, Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, Lake Norman, and surrounding cities, NC PRP hair restoration is often used in conjunction with other treatments for thinning hair. At Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology, each patient can expect a custom-tailored treatment plan to address hair problems and treat thinning or balding areas.

How Does PRP-Hair Loss Treatment Work?

The procedure begins with a blood draw from the patient, in a similar quantity to a routine blood test. The blood is then placed into a centrifuge, where it is spun to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. The remaining plasma is rich in growth factors that naturally stimulate the regrowth in hair follicles that have gone dormant. The PRP is administered below the surface of the scalp through a series of tiny injections.

The entire procedure is relatively painless and usually takes about 30 minutes. These treatments should generally be performed once each month for the first three to four months, and then followed by treatments once every six months for optimal results. Our Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology physician will evaluate your progress to ensure you are responding to the treatment. Results are typically seen within the first two to three months.

What are the Benefits of PRP-Hair Loss Treatment?

PRP-Hair Loss Treatment has grown in popularity in recent years as a natural way to restore thicker, healthier hair growth in patients with thinning hair. Some medications used to treat male or female pattern baldness, have less-than-desirable side effects. Additionally, some hair growth medications are not recommended for women. The benefits of PRP in Charlotte, Gastonia, Shelby, Hickory, Lake Norman, and surrounding cities include:

  • Safe and natural
  • Fast procedure
  • Your own blood cells, so no risk of rejection
  • Stimulates body to regenerate dormant hair follicles
  • No worries about recovery time

Recovery from PRP-Hair Loss Treatment?

Since you will be injected with your own nutrient-rich blood, there are essentially no risks associated with PRP hair restoration. The procedure requires little-to-no downtime following treatment, meaning you won’t need to take time out of your busy schedule for the treatment. Most patients may return to work the same day they receive injections. There are also very few side effects associated with the PRP-Hair Loss Treatment.

After PRP-Hair Loss Treatment:

As a matter of caution, you should avoid typical hair maintenance for a day or two following treatment (heat styling, color processing, etc.) to allow the area to heal. A warm shower can increase the blood flow to the scalp and will provide increased circulation to the scalp, to stimulate the hair follicles and trigger the rejuvenating, regenerative process of your body. There may be some redness at the injection site and slight bruising may occur. Tylenol is recommended following the treatment should you have any discomfort.
