Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Thinning

Stimulates natural hair growth: Platelet Rich Plasma rejuvenates hair follicles, stimulating the growth of thicker, stronger hair without the need for medications or surgery.
Improves hair density: Regular Platelet Rich Plasma treatments can help increase the density and volume of your hair by strengthening existing follicles and promoting the growth of new hairs.
Safe and natural: Since Platelet Rich Plasma uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions, making it a highly safe and natural option for hair restoration.
Non-invasive procedure: Platelet Rich Plasma is a minimally invasive treatment with no need for incisions or stitches, offering a more comfortable and less disruptive solution compared to traditional hair restoration techniques.
Long-lasting results: While results can vary, many patients experience noticeable improvements in hair growth and quality that last for several months to a year, with continued treatments enhancing and maintaining the results.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Thinning?

Platelet Rich Plasma involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this plasma into the scalp where hair thinning has occurred. The growth factors in Platelet Rich Plasma help to revitalize hair follicles, promoting hair growth and increasing hair thickness.

Platelet Rich Plasma for hair thinning is a safe, effective, and natural solution for individuals experiencing hair loss or thinning hair, particularly in areas like the crown, temples, or along the hairline. It is suitable for both men and women and offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional hair restoration methods.

Platelet Rich Plasma for Thinning Hair Procedure

Consultation

The Platelet Rich Plasma procedure for hair thinning begins with a thorough consultation with one of our specialists. During this consultation, we will assess the extent of your hair thinning or loss, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan.

Preparation

On the day of the procedure, a small amount of blood will be drawn from your arm. This blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components, creating a concentrated serum full of growth factors.

Treatment

Once the plasma is prepared, the treated areas of your scalp will be numbed to ensure comfort during the procedure. The Platelet Rich Plasma serum will then be injected into the scalp using fine needles. The procedure typically takes between 30-45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

Aftercare and Results

After the Platelet Rich Plasma treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness on the scalp, which is normal and should subside within a few hours to a few days. To ensure the best results and promote healing, we recommend the following aftercare:

Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24-48 hours.
Refrain from washing your hair for 24 hours to allow the Platelet Rich Plasma to work effectively.
Avoid strenuous physical activities or exercise for at least 48 hours.
Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support hair growth.

While the initial effects of Platelet Rich Plasma may not be immediately visible, most patients start seeing improvements in hair thickness and density within 3-6 months. The full results can take up to 9 months to become apparent as the hair follicles continue to grow and strengthen. For optimal results, ongoing treatments every 3-6 months are often recommended.
