PRP Hair Treatment
Do you suffer from thinning hair or notice a loss in volume? Are you looking for a non-surgical, totally natural treatment to help with hair growth? PRP hair treatment in Essex could be the rejuvenating treatment you need.
What is PRP hair treatment?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an effective hair rejuvenation treatment that has been proven to increase hair density and reduce shedding. PRP treatment for hair loss is a non-surgical, safe, and effective hair regrowth treatment that uses the patient’s own blood plasma to stimulate existing hair follicles for increased growth and treat thinning hair.
So, if your hair is looking a little worse for wear, PRP scalp injections can help restore your locks to a healthier, fuller state.
Stimulates hair growth
This popular treatment encourages dormant hair follicles to regenerate and grow, and increases the diameter of hair shafts, resulting in thicker-looking hair.
100% natural
PRP hair restoration is a natural, non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood, minimising the risk of allergic reaction and making it one of the safest regenerative treatments available.
Treats various types of hair loss
Unlike many hacks, tips, tricks, and products found online, PRP treatment has been clinically approved for androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and general hair thinning.
Increased self-esteem
A fuller head of thicker hair can really help to boost confidence and self-image, which may have been impacted by hair loss and thinning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during PRP hair restoration treatment?
During a PRP tissue regeneration session, there are three key steps:
- The qualified and experienced nurse will draw 10 – 60ml of blood, usually from the patient’s arm.
- Then the nurse will spin the blood to extract the platelet-rich plasma from the whole blood. Plasma is found in the blood and contains platelets, which stimulate hair follicles when reintroduced into the scalp.
- Finally, the nurse injects the platelet-rich plasma into areas on the patient’s scalp – there are about 15 to 20 injections per session. It is recommended that patients receive three PRP therapy treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart for the best results.
Are there side effects to PRP therapy for hair restoration?
As with all cosmetic treatments, there is a risk of side effects from PRP therapy.
These rare side effects can include:
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Scalp pain
- Irritation during the healing process
- Scar tissue at the injection site
- Injury to blood vessels
- Injury to nerves
Many of these consequences can occur from having blood drawn to harvest the plasma.
What are hair follicles, and how do they help with hair growth?
A hair follicle is like a pore and is found within the top two layers of skin. Each follicle surrounds a hair root and strand, and there are around 1 million of them on your head alone.
One of the main jobs of hair follicles is to grow individual hair strands, and over your lifetime, the hair follicle can start and stop functioning at any time.
Lifeless, thin hair is a common side effect of damaged or degenerating hair follicles, while improved hair density and hair thickness come from a well-performing, healthy follicle.
Injecting PRP into the scalp, as part of PRP therapy, encourages hair follicle health and regeneration, helping to stimulate hair health and happiness.
