What's PRP Hair Therapy And Will It Cure Hair Loss?


Maybe you remember seeing a graphic of Kim Kardashian's face covered in blood, a gross requirement for getting a vampire facial. Or maybe you erased the moment from your memory. In any event, the sight of something as repulsive could be an easier pill to swallow if you knew that the same way vampire facials operate, using PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) extracted from your own blood, can combat hair thinning via PRP therapy in Jaipur.

Having gained popularity in dermatology about six years back, PRP injections be capable of stimulate hair growth in areas of thinning on the scalp. Curious as to how PRP Hair Therapy works and if it's another best cure for thinning hair after ALCS HAIR THINNING Supplements, we tapped Genevieve Vielbig, RN-a SoHo-based Cosmetic Nurse Injector and Laser Specialist who performs PRP Hair Therapy on several patients experiencing hair thinning. Ahead, Nurse Gigi answers all our burning questions about PRP Hair Therapy, including the way the procedure benefits hair thinning, who's a good candidate, and more.

Is PRP hair therapy such as a vampire facial for your hair?

It is similar for the reason that it really is stimulating growth factors. Some practitioners choose to do micro needling instead of apply PRP to the scalp. I favor to directly inject the patient's PRP to the regions of concern on the scalp.

What does the PRP hair remedy process look like?

Blood is drawn from the patient
The tubes of blood are placed into a centrifuge for 10 minutes to split up the plasma from the red blood cells and white blood cells.
The plasma is used into syringes
The injection site is cleaned with alcohol
Plasma is injected back to the scalp of thinning areas
Red LED light is placed over scalp tor 20 minutes

Where specifically on the scalp or face is the blood injected?

Plasma is injected back into the scalp in areas of thinning.

On a scale of 1-10 how badly does the injection hurt?

Pain is all relative. The pain scale for the injections is normally about a 4/10 for many people. The discomfort is transient and typically there is no pain after the treatment is complete.

How many injections happen through the first session?

Depending on the severity of the hair thinning and how much section of the scalp should be treated, it can change from 20-50 tiny injections.

Scientifically, how come plasma or your own blood spur hair regrowth?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is packed with growth factors that promote rapid angiogenesis and localized cell growth when PRP is injected into the scalp. The PRP causes miniaturized hair roots to be healthier and larger, producing better quality hair growth.

Will the injections cause scarring of any kind?

None reported to date.

Can PRP hair therapy cure hair loss?

There is no “cure” for hair thinning. PRP slows down the procedure and may stimulate the growth of dormant hairs.

How long after my first session am i going to see results?

The first indication that it's working is a slowing of hair shedding.

Just how many sessions does it take to see hair growth?

New hair growth is seen as early as two months, but is normally evident between five to eight months and will continue to improve up to year after treatment.

Who’s a good prospect for PRP hair therapy?

A good candidate is anyone who has normal balanced hormonal levels and no health issues and still includes a substantial amount of hair on the scalp. Early stage, mild hair thinning patients see the most promising results.

Who is Wii applicant for PRP hair therapy?

Patients with active hormone imbalances or autoimmune diseases that may be a contributing factor to their hair loss are not good candidates. I usually recommend patients get a full panel of blood work, including thyroid function, testosterone levels, and Iron/ferritin levels tested before making a decision if PRP is the right choice for them. If your body includes a hormone imbalance or other inflammatory response, the PRP won't likely produce the desired effect on hair growth.

Any kind of downsides to consider before getting PRP hair therapy?

The only downside is that sometimes PRP can not work for everyone and that may be disappointing for patients.

Approximately just how much does one PRP hair remedy procedure cost?

The price can vary greatly per session from $400 to $1800 according to the geographic location and the credentials of the provider. i.e., Dermatologist, COSMETIC SURGEON, DOCTOR, Physician Assistant or RN. A series of 4-6 treatments spaced six weeks apart is ideal for optimal results, and yearly maintenance is required to sustain results.
