At Prestige Regenerative Medicine, we understand how challenging hair loss can be. That’s why we offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy—a cutting-edge treatment designed to boost and maintain hair growth. Originally developed to heal and regenerate tissues like tendons and muscles, PRP therapy has proven highly effective for hair restoration as well.
How PRP Therapy Works
Here’s a simple breakdown of the PRP therapy process:
Blood Draw: We start by drawing a small sample of your blood, usually from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation: Your blood is then placed in a medical centrifuge, which separates it into different components. This process concentrates the platelets, creating platelet-rich plasma. At PRM, we are proud to utilize the state of the art Magellan centrifuge, well researched and highly rated for its excellent quality of PRP.
Injection: Finally, we inject the platelet-rich plasma into specific areas of your scalp where you’re experiencing hair loss. This stimulates your hair follicles and encourages natural hair growth.
What Makes PRP Therapy Unique
PRP therapy isn’t just about addressing hair loss—it’s about enhancing your body’s natural healing processes. Beyond promoting hair growth, PRP is effective in treating injuries and improving outcomes in various cosmetic procedures.
For hair restoration, you can typically start seeing results within six months. It’s important to note that while PRP provides significant benefits, the effects aren’t always permanent, and we may recommend follow-up sessions to maintain your results.
One of the key advantages of PRP therapy is its safety. Since we use your own blood, the risk of adverse reactions is minimal. PRP can also be combined with other treatments to maximize its effectiveness based on your individual needs.
Why PRP Could Be Right for You
PRP therapy offers numerous benefits for those struggling with hair loss:
Stimulates New Growth
Enhances Hair Density
Improves Blood Supply to Hair Follicles
However, PRP therapy may not be suitable for everyone. Side effects are generally mild and may include pain at the injection site, headaches, itching, swelling, or temporary discoloration. Factors such as certain medications, health conditions, smoking, recent steroid injections, fever, or anemia can increase the risk of side effects. It’s crucial to discuss your full medical history with us before starting treatment.
Who Should Avoid PRP?
While PRP is generally very effective, certain factors may decrease its efficacy:
Bleeding / Clotting disorders
Low platelet count
Anti-inflammatory steroid (cortisone, prednisone) use, especially if used chronically and / regularly
A steroid (cortisone, kenalog) injection within 6 weeks.
Certain blood cancers
Smoking
PRP Hair Treatment Cost
Please note that most insurance providers do not cover PRP therapy for hair loss.
PRP Hair Treatment Success Rate
PRP hair treatment has shown promising success rates, typically between 50% and 70%. This means that many of our patients experience significant improvements in hair growth, thickness, and overall hair condition. However, results can vary based on individual factors such as overall health, the frequency of treatments, and adherence to post-treatment care recommendations.
While PRP is not a guaranteed solution for everyone, many patients find it to be a highly effective option for managing hair loss. To maximize your chances of success, regular treatments and following our care guidelines are essential.
