PRP injections
PRP treatments can enhance hair restoration and other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures. The platelets, one type of blood cells, contain growth factors that can trigger cell proliferation, speed healing and stimulate tissue regeneration in the treated area.
PRP treatment is a non-surgical medical procedure where concentrated plasma rich in growth factor and nutrients separated from your own blood are injected into parts of your scalp that need hair growth. It is a safe and effective way to reverse hair loss and activate new hair growth.
PRP is not to be seen as a standalone treatment method to overcome hair loss woes. When administered in conjunction with medicines and other topical treatments, it has shown to be successful among 70% patients, to whom it is administered.
PRP Therapy, Hair Loss and Hair Transplants, Complex baldness problems may require getting once-a-month PRP treatments for four to six months. For all patients addressing hair loss, consistent treatment with PRP therapy yields optimal results.
Studies have shown that the best candidates for PRP therapy in Dallas are those whose hair loss is recent since it can be difficult to revive long-dormant hair follicles. Ideally, a patient's scalp will feature areas of so-called “weak-quality” hair growth where functioning hair follicles remain.
In 2014, researches in India released a study indicating that men who had 4 treatments of PRP showed signs of 30% more hair growth in thinning areas. A more recent review examined 19 separate studies on PRP and concluded, “the majority demonstrated that platelet-rich plasma produced successful hair growth.”
Contraindications for PRP Therapy Platelet-rich plasma injections may not be appropriate for a patient who: Has a medical condition that could worsen or spread with injections, such as an active infection, a metastatic disease, or certain skin diseases. Has certain blood and bleeding disorders.
Generally speaking PRP injections are not painful; however, the discomfort level depends on the part of the body being treated. Injections into the joint are of minimal discomfort.
