HAIR RESTORATION

​

​

Thinning hair is quite common as we age. It can be due to multiple factors, and can negatively affect your self image. PRP hair restoration is a newer, safer option for people with thinning hair. It is best to begin treatment early, as once the area is bald, it is no longer responsive to PRP treatment. This is because the PRP will stimulate dormant thin hair, to “wake-up”. However, if the hair has been dormant for a long time, the result may be less impressive. With a completely bald scalp, there are no follicles to stimulate. 

​

PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma”. PRP contains growth factors derived from your own blood, that when injected can improve the health of your scalp. There is increased blood flow to the scalp, as a result the hair follicle is better nourished. In addition, growth factors from the PRP will promote the growing phase of the hair follicle. To make the procedure even more effective, we combine the PRP with microneedling. The process of microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, triggers the area to regenerate new, healthier cells.
