What is PRP
Dramatically hailed in the media as the “Vampire” or “Dracula” face-lift, PRP (Platelet-Rich-Plasma) Therapy is a completely natural method for skin rejuvenation and repair. By harnessing the natural healing power of your very own blood, this treatment can visibly reduce loose skin and wrinkles in your face (especially around your eyes, mouth, and nose), in the neck and on the back of your hands.
PRP Therapy can be effective for treating scars, such as acne and surgical scars, and stretch marks. Such as its versatility, this type of procedure can even help battle hair loss in both men and women, especially when combined with other hair loss treatments. Our doctors will discuss your needs and the treatment’s benefits during your no-obligation, comprehensive consultation.
PRP for hair loss
In the last few years, PRP therapy has emerged as an intriguing preventative treatment for hair loss, suitable for both men and women. By separating your own blood (as described above) and then injecting the new Platelet-Rich-Plasma sample into your scalp, it is believed that any stem cells around your targeted hair follicles are kickstarted into action. The result is that new hair growth can be promoted, even with follicles that had previously been inactive.
PRP therapy can be used in conjunction with all hair loss medications, such as Minoxidil and DHT blockers, such as finasteride. You can even use it to complement any hair transplant procedures you may have had elsewhere, the injections working to stimulate the newly planted follicles in your scalp.
As with all hair loss treatments, results vary from patient to patient, but PRP therapy has shown to improve hair calibre and hair thickness. For optimal results we recommend that you repeat PRP procedures every three to four months.
