How Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Can Treat Hair Loss
For some, a beauty treatment is a luxury that is worked into a schedule for extra “me” time. For others, a beauty treatment means the difference between confidence and a serious lack thereof. Oftentimes, beauty treatments involving hair loss fit into that second category, which is why we’re so excited to chat about Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), a beauty treatment that assists those who are dealing with hair loss.
Maybe you’ve heard of this treatment, and wondered, does PRP work for everyone? Or maybe you’ve questioned, can PRP grow new hair?
If you've been curious about PRP, we're answering your biggest questions today so you can learn more about this game-changing beauty treatment.
And so, with that in mind, let’s start off on the right foot by answering the obvious first question…
What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
For our purposes, we will specifically look at PRP for hair loss treatment. To simplify a complicated process, a patient's blood is drawn, processed, and injected into the scalp. In particular, Platelet-rich blood is separated from the rest and injected.
On its own, PRP therapy can be used for multiple conditions, including tendon issues, acute injuries, osteoporosis, and even filling in wrinkles.
The idea is that this platelet-rich blood will stimulate the hair follicle, leading to hair growth in sparse hair areas.
In addition, as platelet-rich plasma stimulates the hair bulb environment, the hair that grows back is said to be healthier, stronger, and shinier.
Does PRP really work for hair loss?
While PRP is a relatively new treatment for hair loss, at Miracle Beauty we saw our patients have great success with PRP.
If you're wondering, can PRP grow new hair, again, yes, we've seen this treatment 's effectiveness on many of our patients.
PRP will not only improve the hair you already have, but it will also help promote the growth of new hair, helping to alleviate any obvious balding that you might be self-conscious of.
Does PRP work for everyone?
With the above in mind, this might sound too good to be true, especially if you've been struggling with this issue for a long time.
While we've had great success with PRP, as with nearly any beauty treatment, individual results always vary. For some, hair growth may return quickly and thicker than you're used to.
For others, the process will be slow, and you may only see some hair growth instead of full hair.
Why some people have better results than others is not yet fully understood, but one thing we can say is that if you feel insecure and down-in-the-dumps about hair loss, you have nothing to lose here and everything to gain.
Are there any risks to PRP?
PRP is a minimally invasive process; however, because we are drawing blood and injecting it into the scalp, there are some risks to consider, including infection, scar tissue, and injury to blood vessels.
However, these risks are not common, and remember, at Miracle Beauty, all our staff has been extensively trained in the treatment, so you can rest assured you’ll always be getting the best treatment possible.
Are you ready to reverse hair loss and try PRP?
As mentioned, there are few risks to consider when it comes to PRP for hair loss and plenty to gain from this treatment. Most obviously, new hair growth will be the first thing you'll notice, but beyond that, you'll likely experience growth in confidence, self-love, and even sociability as you start feeling better about your new healthy head of hair.
