In an age of burgeoning medical innovation, hair loss, a concern that affects millions globally, is not left behind. Today, we’re focusing on one of the groundbreaking treatments that’s making a significant impact in the world of aesthetic medicine and is available right here at Columbia Laser Skin Center—Platelet-Rich Plasma, or PRP injections.
Often associated with aesthetic treatments like the infamous “vampire facial,” PRP is now being recognized for its immense potential in the fight against hair loss. So, let’s delve into the science behind this innovative therapy.
PRP is an acronym for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a component of your own blood. To understand PRP, let’s break down blood to its basics. Blood is composed mainly of red and white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets, among other roles, are pivotal for clotting blood and they contain hundreds of proteins called growth factors which are integral to healing injuries.
In PRP therapy, the concentration of platelets — and hence growth factors — is 5 to 10 times richer, thus amplifying the healing effects.
The rationale behind using PRP for hair loss is grounded in the properties of the growth factors present in platelets. These growth factors can stimulate the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
Here’s a simplified step-by-step process:
Benefits and Results
PRP hair restoration treatment offers a range of benefits:
In terms of results, while it varies from person to person, many start to see a reduction in hair shedding, early regrowth, and increased hair length within two to three months. The best results are often seen after a series of treatments, spaced about a month apart.
The beauty of PRP lies in its ability to utilize the body’s own natural processes to combat hair loss. It provides a therapeutic alternative for individuals looking for a natural method to boost their hair growth. As always, it’s essential to consult with trained professionals, like our team here at Columbia Laser Skin Center, to determine if PRP is the right choice for your hair restoration journey.
