What is PRP Hair Treatment?

Doctors have used PRP injections to treat ligament, and muscle tears for years, especially in sports medicine. By drawing blood and purifying the sample, doctors can isolate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into a powerful serum. This serum is then injected into the site of an injury to help speed up its healing process.

These very same platelets can be used to stimulate the dermal papilla cells found at the base of hair follicles. When properly activated, the follicles produce an increase in beta-catenin, the protein responsible for igniting new hair growth. By supporting follicles at their very source, PRP Hair Treatment elevates the body’s ability to sprout stunning results.

PRP Hair Treatment first step

What’s the first step?

The first step to getting a PRP Hair Treatment is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Raj Dedhia. He will start out by discussing your hair loss concerns, your medical history, aesthetic goals and expectations, and any fears. He will then examine your scalp and discuss the pros and cons of the procedure, including aligning your expectations and disclosing any potential risks. Once he deems the procedure is right for you, he will create a treatment plan and our patient coordinator will help you with scheduling, pricing, and disclosing any pre-operative surgery directions. These directions may advise you to stop taking certain medications or supplements that impede proper circulation. Plasma health is vital to the success of PRP Hair Treatment, so please adhere to Dr. Dedhia’s advice closely.

What to expect on the day of a PRP Hair Treatment

On the day of the PRP Hair Treatment, Dr. Dedhia and his friendly staff will welcome you, and go over the treatment plan once more in case of any last minute questions and/or concerns.

 The first step would be to draw some blood to extract your plasma. The blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge, which rapidly spins the blood. The centrifugal forces will separate the plasma into three distinct densities: red blood cells, low-platelet blood, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Once the platelet-rich essence is isolated from your blood sample, it is loaded into a syringe.

 You will then be administered local anesthesia on your scalp. The PRP will then be injected into the discussed areas on your scalp. The platelets and growth factors will adhere to the dermal papilla cells below the surface where new hair growth originates.

 The whole process should take between 30 minutes to one hour.

PRP Hair Treatment Recovery

After the procedure, our staff will monitor you to ensure you’re comfortable prior to going home. The procedure is performed completely under local anesthesia. While you could safely drive after the procedure, consider having a family or a friend drive you back home to be completely safe.

 Even though the swelling and discomfort are minor, it will take a few days on average to resolve.
