STOP THE FALL AND INCREASE THE THICKNESS OF THE HAIR

PRP or platelet-rich plasma is an effective solution against hair loss. It is a non-invasive, fast, simple and barely painful procedure.

The treatment is for both men and women, it does not require any type of preparation, and after its application the patient can immediately return to their daily activities.

As the PRP is an autologous treatment (obtained from the same patient who will receive the treatment) there is no risk of rejection, allergic reaction, or contagion of any disease.

Usually, the sessions last approximately one hour, during which time the blood is drawn, centrifuged and applied.

What is the PRP for Hair Loss?

PRP for Hair Loss is done under local anesthesia or by applying cold to the areas to be treated. Blood is drawn from the patient, centrifuged in a special machine, and the plasma is separated for later injection into the patient’s scalp.

The PRP is applied to the patient by microinjections directly into the scalp. Thus favoring growth factors act directly on the hair root, stimulating blood circulation and regeneration of subcutaneous tissue, strengthening from the base.

PRP for Hair Loss Benefits

One of the main benefits of PRP for Hair Loss is the increase in hair density as well as the thickness of existing hair. With the application of PRP, the stimulation of the formation of hyaluronic acid and elastin is achieved. In this way, the hair follicle is vascularized and hair regeneration is promoted.

Promotes hair recovery in the postpartum period, a stage in which telogen effluvium is common (Alteration of the hair growth cycle that triggers sudden and diffuse hair loss) due to hormonal changes.

Hair PRP is a safe procedure that can be applied to people of any age. It has no side effects and does not cause allergies. This is because the platelets are from the patient himself, nullifying the possibility of rejection.

When is a PRP for Hair Loss recommended?

PRP for Hair Loss can be used both preventively and to enhance the effects of a hair transplant. That means whether the hair is weakened, has lost its thickness and its growth needs to be enhanced, or a hair transplant is already necessary. It also helps if the patient is in a period of active hair loss.

It can be used for any type of alopecia, but is particularly effective for female alopecia, alopecia areata (a hair loss condition in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles) and alopecia after chemotherapy.

As always, it is important to contact a specialist who determines if PRP for Hair Loss is the best option or what is the most appropriate procedure to obtain the best results.

When will I see the results of a PRP for Hair Loss?

The results of PRP for Hair Loss are progressive and reach their maximum point 15 days after the last session. 2 or 3 sessions are necessary to start seeing improvements. The total number of sessions depends on each case and are usually carried out with a separation between them of 4-6 weeks.

After a month of treatment you can begin to notice that the hair is thickening and that it is gaining capillary density. But it is especially after the second session when the effects are more visible.

What is the result of a PRP for Hair Loss?

PRP is a treatment that is used to regenerate hair follicles or hair roots. It is especially useful in cases of massive hair loss or in situations where there is a deterioration in the quality of the hair.

The treatment offers to naturally enhance the growth capacity of the tissues, the stimulation of the hair follicle helps to stop hair loss and at the same time enhances its regeneration. The hair gains thickness and the quantity of hair is perceived as denser in the areas that are being treated.

Some changes that the patient may notice from the second session are:

  • The appearance of areas of alopecia and hair thinning is reversed.
  • Hair may start to grow back at the hairline.
  • The patient’s confidence gradually increases as these problem areas begin to disappear.

How many PRP for Hair Loss sessions are necessary?

The necessary number of PRP sessions will always depend on the patient. For that reason, at Baja Plastic Surgery & MedSpa Center we offer free consultations so the doctor can determine if this treatment is right for you and the recommended number of sessions. It is very important to evaluate the degree of alopecia and speed of hair loss to know what level of improvement is possible and define the treatment.

To start treatment for the first time, 3 sessions separated by 4-6 weeks between them are usually necessary. After this, a maintenance session can be done out every 6 or 12 months to maintain a good condition of the scalp.

The best treatment after a hair transplant

PRP for Hair Loss is a very useful treatment to increase the thickness of the hair shaft, which is why it is especially recommended to perform it after a hair transplant, since it is capable of stimulating its growth, shortening the time and making it grow with better quality.
Performing a PRP for Hair Loss after a capillary micrograft transplant is the best way to enhance the recovery. The growth factors contained in the PRP help improve healing as well as reinforce the structure of the follicles, enhancing hair growth and thickness.

The difference between the results of a capillary micrograft transplant to which PRP is applied compared to an intervention without the application of platelet-rich plasma are very notable.

PRP is not only used for hair loss, it is also used to improve the appearance of the skin, either with the regular application of platelet-rich plasma or Boosted PRP.
