What is PRP?
Platelets play an important healing role all throughout the body. They help make clots to stop bleeding. Platelets also contain growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration.
PRP contains a higher concentration of platelets than naturally occurs in the body. To create PRP, your provider takes a blood sample and places it into a centrifuge, which spins the blood sample rapidly. This process separates different components of the blood, isolating the platelets and concentrating them within the plasma.
PRP for Restoring Hair Growth
At Shea Aesthetic Clinic, we use PRP for hair restoration. Platelets promote cell growth and regeneration. By injecting PRP into the thinning areas of your scalp, the platelets activate and stimulate the dormant and active hair follicles to create natural, noticeable growth.
We recommend PRP injections as part of the hair restoration process to patients wanting to address thinning hair.
The PRP Process at Shea Aesthetic Clinic
To kick off your hair growth journey at Shea Aesthetic Clinic, you first schedule a consultation with one of our expert providers. At this appointment, your provider will listen to your concerns, take a medical history, examine your scalp, recommend specific laboratory analysis, and create a comprehensive treatment plan for your hair loss.
The best treatment plan for hair loss is one that includes a combination of therapies, each known to improve hair growth. These include: Minoxidil topical solution, vitamin and nutritional supplements, low level laser light therapy, Keralase laser treatments, and PRP injections.
Your provider begins each PRP injection appointment with a blood draw. PRP is prepared by spinning your blood in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the rest of your blood. Then your provider injects the concentrated platelet solution, PRP, into the thinning areas of your scalp.
On average, most patients receive 3 to 4 PRP treatments to restore areas of diminished hair growth. Treatments take place every 4-6 weeks. You and your provider can discuss the ideal number of treatment sessions based on your goals and results.
