PRP Hair Restoration:

Achieve natural, thicker, and fuller hair

Statistics: About 50 million American men and 30 million women have male- or female-pattern baldness. It can begin early in life, but is much more common after the age of 50, when more than 50% of men will experience some kind of hair loss.

However, an emerging treatment — platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy — help regrow lost hair. And, there are virtually no side effects from PRP, except for a mild feeling of pressure at the injection

How does PRP therapy compare with other options?

There are two FDA-approved medications for treating hair loss: Finasteride and Minoxidil. But you must take these drugs consistently over time and results are inconsistent.

Each drug also sometimes has side effects:

• Minoxidil may cause dryness and itching on the scalp.

• Finasteride may cause sexual dysfunction in men.

Hair transplantation is another option, but it requires cuts in the scalp and recovery time is longer. Because it is a surgical procedure, doctors typically recommend hair transplantation only for those who have dramatic hair loss.

Possible Causes:

• Genetic

• Restricts follicle growth space

• Reduce oxygen and nutrition supply

Treatments:

• PRP

• Microneedling

• Botox

Microneedling for hair loss benefits

Microneedling first gained its reputation as a scar treatment during the 1990s. Since then, it’s been studied as a potential alternative or adjunctive treatment for androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata.

Aside from collagen production in the skin, which is thought to underlie one of the reasons it may be beneficial for skin health, Microneedling can also help induce stem cells in the hair follicles that may lead to hair growth.

Microneedling may be a promising hair loss treatment, particularly for androgenic alopecia. It can be used as a stand-alone treatment or as a part of the hair regrowth plan.
