PRP Could Be Your Solution to Hair Loss

PRP has become such a popular cosmetic treatment that you may already be familiar with its ability to regenerate healthy skin and eliminate unwanted acne scars, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and skin laxity. But what you may not realize is that a careful combination of PRP and micro-needling of the scalp can actually reverse hair loss and help new, dense, healthy hair grow back. Countless men and women alike are taking advantage of this new treatment because it is non-surgical and incredibly effective.

More About Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Within your blood platelets there are proteins that play a vital role in producing collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin for your body. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained by drawing blood and placing it into a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the treatment area to unleash the healing power of those proteins into the skin and body. This means that PRP essentially triggers and accelerates the rejuvenation and healing process.

Combining PRP and Micro-Needling

Micro-needling is a simple yet effective treatment that uses a micropen with numerous micro-needles to create controlled- and painless!- injuries to the skin. It causes a sensation that can be compared to rubbing sandpaper against the skin. The controlled injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to heal the skin. When PRP is injected into the skin after micro-needling, the PRP is able to reach deeper layers of the skin and accelerate the healing process that micro-needling began. It doubles the treatment’s efficiency and ultimate results.

PRP and Micro-Needling for Hair Growth

Performing micro-needling on the scalp and following it with PRP injections is shown to successfully stimulate cells into growth repair action, which activates the proliferative phase of the hair cycle and renews hair follicles. If you opt to receive a PRP/micro-needling treatment to battle your hair loss and baldness, you will witness new, dense hair growing in way it hasn’t for years.
