Did you know that growth factors from your blood cells can stimulate hair growth if you are experiencing hair loss or thinning?

Platelet Rich Plasma is considered a non-surgical type of hair loss restoration. Dr. Shiva does not transplant any hairs in the procedure but injects your scalp with your blood which is rich in platelets. A normal tube of blood consists of about 250,000 platelets.

A PRP tube has a concentration level of platelets as high as 2 million. PRP aims to stimulate existing hair follicles compared to hair transplants, which borrow hair from more stable areas at the back of the head and put them in areas where thinning has already occurred.

Increasing evidence shows that PRP is beneficial and quite promising in treating hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About PRP for Hair Loss

How is your blood used to stimulate hair growth?

The blood is drawn and spun down to separate and enrich the platelet portion. Platelets are blood components that your body uses to help stop bleeding. They also contain powerful growth and anti-inflammatory factors released into your scalp.

How are PRP injections different from topical treatments like Minoxidil and other drugs used to reverse hair loss?

Minoxidil is a drug that promotes hair growth by causing vasodilation (dilatation of blood vessels). The exact process is not fully understood, while, on the other hand, PRP is autologous, which means it’s derived from you. It also contains over 20 growth factors that help nourish your cellular matrix.

How soon can I see the results?

After a six-month period, you’ll start seeing beneficial results.

How often do I need to have PRP treatments?
Typically, once a month for six months, with a booster every six months.
What other benefits can I expect from PRP?
PRP can be used for a wide range of conditions, such as skin rejuvenation, acne scars, wound ulcers, stretch marks, and other types of scars.
