PRP for Hair Loss (Alopecia): How Does it Work?

Hair loss, or alopecia, can be a distressing experience that affects both men and women. While several treatment options are available, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has emerged as an effective, minimally invasive solution for restoring hair growth. At Twin Ports Dermatology, our team of specialists is committed to providing advanced treatments to address hair loss and help you regain confidence.

What Causes Hair Loss?

Hair loss can result from a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, nutritional deficiencies, medical conditions, and aging. The most common type is androgenetic alopecia, a hereditary condition that leads to hair thinning and balding. Other types, such as telogen effluvium, may stem from stress or illness and are often temporary. Understanding the underlying cause of hair loss is essential for determining the best treatment plan.

PRP for Hair Loss (Alopecia): How Does it Work?

PRP therapy involves using your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair regrowth. The process begins with a small blood draw, typically from your arm. The blood is then placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors and healing properties.

The PRP is injected into areas of the scalp experiencing hair thinning or loss. These growth factors help rejuvenate dormant hair follicles, improve blood flow, and encourage the growth of thicker, healthier hair. PRP treatments are quick, typically taking less than an hour, and require little to no downtime.

What are the Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss?

PRP therapy offers several advantages, making it a popular choice among patients experiencing hair loss:

Non-Surgical: PRP is a minimally invasive treatment that does not involve surgery or lengthy recovery periods.

Natural Solution: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, there’s minimal risk of adverse reactions or allergies.

Effective Results: Many patients notice improved hair density, reduced hair shedding, and thicker hair after a series of treatments.

Quick Procedure: With sessions lasting less than an hour, PRP fits easily into your schedule.

Versatile Application: PRP can be used alone or combined with other hair restoration treatments for enhanced results.

Am I a Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration?

While PRP therapy is a promising option for many, it’s not suitable for everyone. Ideal candidates include individuals experiencing mild to moderate hair thinning or early-stage hair loss. Those with underlying conditions, such as androgenetic alopecia or telogen effluvium, often see the best results. However, PRP may be less effective for individuals with advanced hair loss or extensive balding.

Before beginning treatment, our dermatologists at Twin Ports Dermatology will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the cause of your hair loss and ensure PRP is the right solution for you.
