What is PRP and how does it work?

PRP is a treatment that utilises platelets and other growth factors to stimulate wound healing and rejuvenate tissue. It is used in various medical specialities including sports orthopedy, dentistry, facial reconstruction, neurosurgery, dermatology, hair growth, cosmetic and plastic surgery. PRP is an autologous treatment meaning that it is derived from the patient own blood.

Can PRP help with Hair Restoration?

PRP injections can help with hair loss by stimulating follicular hair growth through the release of growth factors. These growth factors, such as PDGF, TGF-b, VEGF, EGF, FGF-2, IGF AND IL-1 promote blood vessel growth, cell replication, collagen formation and can stimulate dormant hair follicles.

Some of the numerous growth factors include the following:

• Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) – Promotes blood vessel growth, cell replication, skin formation.
• Transforming Growth-Factor-Beta (TGF-b) – Encourages growth of matrix between cells, bone metabolism.
• Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) – Fosters blood vessel formation.
• Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) – Advances cell growth and differentiation, blood vessel formation, collagen formation, and skin formation.
• Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) – Stimulates growth of specialized cells and blood vessel formation.
• Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF) – Is a regulator of normal physiology in nearly every type of cell in the body.
• Interleukin (IL-1) – Regulates host defences and is an immunoadjuvant.

Who is Suitable for PRP hair Treatment?

PRP therapy is suitable for both male and female pattern hair loss, thinning hair, excessive hair loss, and those looking for natural, non-invasive hair strenghtening and hair growth treatment. It can also benefit women experiencing hair changes post-pregnancy or during menopause, as well as patients with androgenic alopecia. This is also a recommended treatment post-hair transplant procedure.

What can PRP for Hair achieve?

PRP treatment for hair can slow down or stop hair loss, stimulate dormant and existing follicles, promote significant hair growth, enhance the production of healthy cells, and potentially decrease hair distrophy. It is a safe and reliable non-invasive treatment option. This said, results vary from person to person, and we cannot guarantee individual outcomes.

What are the results of PRP Hair Loss?

PRP is considered one of the best non-invasive treatments for excessive hair loss in both women and men. Numerous scientific studies support its efficacy in increasing hair follicle count and hair thickness. However, individual results may vary, and we cannot guarantee its effectiveness for every person.

Indeed, PRP is a sought-after treatment to reinforce the grafted hair follicles and to stimulate the dormant follicles. Consider adding PRP to your hair transplant plan for optimal outcomes.

What are the risks or potential side effects of PRP for hair loss?

There is a large consensus that PRP is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment for excessive hair loss. Numerous scientific studies support its efficacy in increasing hair follicle count and thickness. The fact is that PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or infectious disease transmission. Generally, patients may experience slight bruising, rednes, or temporary swelling, but the majority experience virtually no downtime after treatment. PRP remains a low-risk option for patients looking for an effective solution.

Which conditions will not work with PRP?

In many cases cases, PRP may not be effective for individuals with thyroid disease or lupus, as these conditions can continue to cause hair loss. In addition, those with extreme hair loss or non-existing follicles are generally not suitable candidates for PRP hair treatments.

What are the post PRP treatment recommendations?

We ask patients not to wash their hair for 24 hours or so after treatment. Moreover, we strongly suggest following a healthy diet, not drinking alcohol, and not smoking as long as you can as this can affect the quality of your plasma (and overall health).

It is a form of regenerative medicine.For years, PRP has shown dramatic results in tackling hair loss for men and women of various ages.

Is PRP better than Minoxidil?

When comparing PRP and Minoxidil for hair loss treatment, research indicates that PRP injections may be more effective in some situations. However, optimal results were observed when PRP and Minoxidil were utilised together. This suggests that while PRP may have certain advantages over Minoxidil, the combination of both treatments could yield the best outcomes. This said, for those looking for more natural approach, we suggest PRP in combination with mesotherapy.

How long does it take for PRP to work on hair growth?

PRP treatment typically takes some time to show visible results as it follows the natural hair cycle. It may take several months before being able to see the full effects of the treatment.

What is the longevity of PRP?

PRP injections offer positive long-term results but are not a permanent solution for hair loss. Maintenance treatments every 3 to 6 months can prolong the positive results. This said, each individual’s experience with PRP therapy varies, and and the frequency of treatments may differ.

What is the success rate of PRP for hair restoration?

The success rate of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for hair restoration varies based on the individual patient. Typically, PRP therapy is the most effective in the early stages of hair loss, especially for younger patients. On average, PRP therapy has a success rate of 70-90% in improving hair growth. However, older patients or those with more advanced hair loss may experience a lower success rate.

Is PRP effective for various types of hair loss?

The innovative Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical option gaining recognition for addressing  various hair loss concerns.  Research continues to explore the effectiveness of PRP treatments offering promising results. However, the absence of a standardized protocol for PRP injections poses challenges in determining the treatment’s overall effectiveness. That is why, it is important to work with a reputable practitioner.

Can I have PRP even if I do not suffer from visible hair loss?

Absolutely, PRP is beneficial  for everyone even if you do suffer from excessive hair loss. In fact, hair loss may occur without realising it, making prevention through PRP and mesotherapy valuable. Therefore, consider this treatment to help stimulate and nourish your hair follicles. Do not wait until the damage is done.
