PRP Hair Treatment
1. What is PRP Hair Treatment?
a. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment is a non-surgical procedure that utilizes the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It is a quick, safe, and minimally invasive treatment designed to increase the thickness and density of your hair.
2. How Does PRP Hair Treatment Work?
a. PRP is derived from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, which help repair tissue, promote cell regeneration, and stimulate hair growth.
b. Using EnerJet and its Jet Volumetric Remodeling (JVR) technology, the treatment creates controlled microtrauma and uses a high-pressure jet to deliver concentrated PRP into areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning. This process works by stimulating hair follicle activity, prolonging the growth phase of the hair cycle, increasing blood flow to the follicles, and enhancing the thickness of the hair shafts.
3. Is it Safe?
a. Yes, PRP hair treatment is safe! Since PRP is made from your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is extremely low. The procedure is minimally invasive, especially with EnerJet technology, which uses a needle-free, high-pressure jet to deliver the treatment. It requires little to no downtime, and most people are able to resume normal activities the same day.
4. What Should I Expect During PRP Hair Treatment?
a. Before the procedure, you will have a consultation with our providers to assess your hair loss pattern and scalp health, and to determine whether you are a good candidate for the treatment.
b. Once the treatment plan is confirmed, a small amount of blood will be drawn. The sample is then centrifuged to separate the components and isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
c. Your scalp will be cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
d. The entire treatment typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes, and most people can return to their regular activities immediately afterward.
