PRP Hair Restoration with Biotin
Hair loss can hugely undermine your confidence. A receding hairline, thinning hair or hair loss can make anyone self-conscious, no matter what age you are.
PRP (Platelet-rich plasma) Hair Loss Therapy can help you stimulate hair growth. It is a non-surgical procedure with a very fast recovery.
PRP therapy is used in hair restoration for natural looking results and is suitable for both men and women. It is a state of the art, non surgical, totally natural, alternative medical procedure used for the treatment of hair loss or hair thinning.
What is PRP (platelet-rich therapy) hair loss therapy?
PRP therapy involves taking a blood sample and using a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the blood. Platelets within blood plasma contain a large number of growth factors and bioactive proteins. These growth factors stimulate dormant hair follicles and also produce an increased amount of collagen. They help initiate and speed up tissue repair and regeneration. This in turn thickens the hair and encourages hair growth. These platelets are then injected into the scalp where hair thinning and balding is occurring.
The results brought by HIFU can last up to a whole year. In the following 12 months, your skin will look and feel younger. The production of collagen will help maintain the effects of a toned skin for the entire time.
How Many PRP Treatments Do You Need?
Unfortunately, PRP therapy isn’t a one-off procedure. It’s recommended that you complete around three to six sessions of PRP therapy for the best results. You then go for annual top-ups after that.
What is the Recovery time?
After you’ve had a session, you aren’t able to wash your hair for 24 hours, and you need to leave it alone for 48 hours – e.g. no wearing hats or going for head massages. There are some reported side effects:
- Potential swelling
- Itching
- Tender scalp
These are standard symptoms however but shouldn’t cause too much discomfort or affect your day to day activities. You can return to work immediately after the procedure.
How Long Before You See Results?
You can expect to see results pretty quick. It works and reacts to your current hair. The platelet rich plasma immediately starts rejuvenating cells and after you wash your hair for the first time after 24 hours, you might see that it is already shiny and looking healthier already.
You can notice a difference after just one session to give you an idea of results, but multiple sessions are recommended for best results.
Is PRP for Hair Loss Effective?
PRP therapy is an effective treatment, but this is also contingent on the effects that you desire. If you have quite a drastic hair loss, PRP therapy won’t do what a hair transplant can do for example.
If your hair is thinning and you want to get it looking a bit healthier, or maybe you are experiencing something specific like antenatal hair loss, PRP therapy can be very effective in restoring your hair to a place where you feel confident and comfortable with it again.
