What is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP® Hair Restoration is a non-surgical, safe and effective hair loss treatment that prevents hair loss and promotes healthy hair growth. The goal of the treatment is to help you achieve thicker, lusher, and more voluminous hair. PRP for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.

Who Is A Good Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections help thicken thinning hair and is an excellent alternative to hair transplant. People can expect to see thick, natural-looking hair in approximately six months. PRP hair therapy is ideal for people:

With male or female pattern baldness with a regular or average amount of platelets in their blood and who still have some hair, although it is thinning
Looking to prevent hair loss and promote new hair growth
With generally healthy skin on the scalp
Who are in good health overall
Who are Non-smokers
With realistic expectations

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

PRP hair therapy is a three-step medical treatment that requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.

Step 1

Our medical professional will draw your blood from your arm and put it into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities).

Step 2

After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into in three layers:

platelet-poor plasma
platelet-rich plasma
red blood cells

Step 3

The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that require increased hair growth.

Safe, natural and non-surgical

Pre-Treatment Care

It is important to consider pre-treatment care for PRP hair restoration because it helps optimize the effectiveness of the procedure and minimizes the risk of side effects. Proper preparation can enhance scalp health, ensuring a clean environment for the treatment, which may lead to better absorption of the PRP. It also helps reduce bruising and swelling, making the recovery process smoother.

Avoid Blood Thinners Refrain from taking blood thinners (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E) for at least a week before the procedure to minimize the risk of bruising.
Avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages for 24-48 hours prior to treatment, as they can affect circulation.
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure optimal hydration for the procedure.
Do not use hair products (like gels, sprays, or oils) on the day of your appointment to keep the scalp clean.
Wash your hair the night before the treatment to ensure a clean scalp, but avoid heavy washing immediately before.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure or tanning in the days leading up to your appointment to prevent skin irritation.
Avoid Scalp Irritation: Steer clear of activities that may irritate the scalp, such as excessive scratching or harsh brushing, leading up to the treatment.

Post-Treatment Care

If you're like most people, you probably want your PRP hair growth treatment to work as effectively as possible. Here are a few PRP Post-Treatment Care tips to keep in mind:

Avoid washing your hair for the first 48 hours after your treatment as it gives the PRP time to penetrate the scalp and start working its magic
When you do eventually wash your hair, use gentle sulphate free shampoo
Use a good conditioner to keep your scalp and hair hydrated for optimal hair growth
Avoid using styling products for at least a week after your first PRP treatment
Avoid using heat-styling tools for at least a week after your first PRP treatment
Get regular scalp massages to stimulate blood flow to the follicles which in turn can promote healthy hair growth
Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals
Get enough sleep
Avoid any medications or supplements that might interfere with the growth of the hair
Speak with your doctor before taking any new medications

Common Questions

Your medical provider will determine during your consultation, whether you are a right candidate for PRP. They will conduct a comprehensive review of your medical history and current symptoms.

The treatment can take anywhere between 60 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.

A PRP treatment stimulates a healing response and might initially cause inflammation and discomfort.

You will be advised to avoid anti-inflammatory medications for at least six weeks after the treatment, to avoid interference with the natural healing process.

Although there is a very small risk of clotting, PRP injections are deemed to be safe, and most patients undergo these procedures with no complications.
