PRP for Hair Loss
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) hair restoration is an effective treatment for hair loss or alopecia, yielding noticeable results because of its capability to stimulate cells responsible for hair growth. PRP & PRF can also reverse the process by which hair follicles are damaged. As a result, stronger, thicker and dense hair is achieved.
PRP for hair loss and PRF hair restoration is a minimally invasive treatment. Best results have been achieved with a minimum of 6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Patients with success in these treatments generally undergo maintenance sessions once a year to keep their existing hair growth and avoid hair loss.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment Areas
Postpartum Hair Loss
Postpartum hair loss, also known as postpartum telogen effluvium, is a common condition that affects many women after giving birth. It is a temporary type of hair loss that occurs in the months following childbirth.
Male Pattern Hair Loss
Male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss that affects men. It is characterized by a gradual and predictable pattern of hair thinning and loss, primarily on the top and front of the scalp.
Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss is characterized by a gradual thinning of hair, primarily on the top and crown of the scalp. Unlike men, women with this condition typically do not experience significant receding of the hairline
Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Hair Restoration
Platelet Rich Plasma treatment (PRP) & Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) are novel techniques that allow the isolation and use of growth factors present in your own blood to enhance, accelerate, and stimulate hair regeneration. Injection of plasma rich in growth factors will stimulate the stem cells around hair follicles to grow new hair. Their application at a capillary level stimulates vascularization at the hair follicle level, making it an effective treatment to stop hair loss and promote hair growth in patients with moderate hair loss or alopecia.
The results can be seen after 3 sessions.
The result are maintained for 6 to 12 months.
PRP treatment has virtually no side affects.

What To Expect During a PRP Hair Restoration Procedure
Each PRP for hair loss & PRF session lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour. After extracting a small volume of blood from your arm, it is centrifuged, and the platelet-rich portion of the blood is extracted: a “powerhouse” of growth factors. PRP & PRF must be done with a closed system and technique. The mechanically closed system prevents environmental contaminants from transferring to the product and/or device, as well as the accidental release of PRP & PRF outside of it. This avoids the risk of any type of PRP & PRF contamination, ensures product quality, and allows it to be stored if necessary. The closed technique uses a closed system in all the PRP steps, from the extraction of blood to having the product ready to administer. PRP & PRF contains a high concentration of your own growth factors and is micro-injected into the scalp where the hair-loss is occurring.
Before the PRP for hair loss & PRF hair restoration treatment: Come to your appointment well-hydrated to maximize the quantity of plasma extracted from the blood.
During the PRP for hair loss & PRF hair restoration procedure: Your blood will be drawn and then spun with our state-of-the-art centrifuge technology. Once the plasma has been separated from the red blood cells, it will be extracted into syringes for injection. You will feel mild discomfort in the scalp, which will subside when the procedure is over.
After the PRP for hair loss & PRF hair restoration procedure: Avoid anti-inflammatory drugs or blood-thinning medications such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen, and Advil for 24 hours. Tylenol can be taken for analgesia if necessary. It is recommended to avoid washing your hair for 24 hours following the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions about PRP for Hair Loss
The difference between the treatments is mainly how the blood is synthesized. PRF starts with a smaller blood sample, and then it is centrifuged at a lower speed than PRP. This means that the blood components are not completely separated and the process is more gentle. This leads to more platelets being present in the concentration of PRF than PRP.
Choosing the right one for you depends on your specific treatment goals.
Like any medical procedure, this treatment must be carried out at specialized Dermatology clinics, where hygiene, safety and comfort can be guaranteed.
