You can do that at AesthetiSpa with PRP for Hair Restoration.
What is platelet-rich plasma?
We all know our blood platelets are crucial for wound healing, enabling the blood to clot and stem the bleeding when we cut our skin. But what most of us don’t know is that platelets also contain seven growth factors that aid in the healing of the wound.
The idea behind platelet-rich plasma is to concentrate these qualities. Here’s how. We draw a sample of your blood, the same amount taken for routine blood work. We then place the blood in a centrifuge and remove all of the red blood cells. What you have left is concentrated blood platelets, white blood cells, and plasma — platelet-rich plasma. This is a serum with powerful healing abilities, fueled by the seven growth factors. Growth factors aren’t quite what their name sounds like. They are the messengers between the cells, signaling the cells to perform different functions. Yes, they may signal for new skin cells to be produced to heal a wound. But they have other roles, as well.
Using PRP on your scalp
When the value of athletes using PRP to speed injury recovery started to spread, it wasn’t long before it was tested for cases of men and women suffering from hair loss. When this happens, more and more of your hair follicles are entering and staying in the dormant phase of the hair growth cycle. That means fewer follicles are producing hair, so your hair begins to thin. When PRP is injected into these thinning areas on the scalp, the growth factors and other healing qualities are able to kick start dormant hair follicles back to the anagen/growth phase of the hair lifecycle. So, those areas that have been thinning can stop losing hair and then begin to regrow hair and fill back in.
Could I benefit from PRP for hair restoration at AesthetiSpa?
If you are experiencing hair loss, you’re probably a good candidate for this treatment with us. But the odds of success increase if your hair loss has more recently been occurring. That means your hair follicles only recently have been becoming dormant. The follicles are still healthy, but they’re spending more and more time in the resting phase. They can still be turned back to the growth phase, however, as they haven’t been dormant for years. That’s why PRP for Hair Restoration works best when the patient notices early hair loss. Clinically, this is known as androgenic alopecia.
If that sounds like you, then PRP could be a great option to stop your hair loss and start regrowing new hair. Call us at AesthetiSpa, 843-849-9925, and schedule a consultation for PRP for hair restoration today.
