PRP Hair Restoration

Hair loss is a common problem for men and women of all ages. As we age, our hair gets thinner and more brittle, which can make it harder to grow back.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections are a safe and effective treatment option for those experiencing hair loss. Platelet rich plasma is extracted from your own blood and then injected into the scalp or other areas where growing new hair or improving hair quality is desired.

The PRP contains growth factors that encourage your body to regenerate healthy cells to promote hair regrowth, increase hair thickness, increase the number of follicles and improve overall health and integrity of the hair. 

There are many causes of hair loss including aging, genetics, medical conditions like diabetes or thyroid disease, medications, hormone changes during pregnancy or menopause, PCOS, stress, or nutritional deficiencies (such as iron deficiency). If you’re experiencing unexplained hair loss and have tried other methods unsuccessfully, then PRP Hair Restorations treatments may be right for you!

Our comprehensive hair regeneration approach provides improved outcomes by utilizing a combination of therapiesprovided along with PRP injections. The physicians at Two Rivers use specific vitamin protocols, peptides, LED light and hormonal modulation often resulting in better outcomes.

If you are a patient experiencing hair loss, you owe it to yourself to seek advice from a doctor who is an expert in properly diagnosing underlying reasons for your hair loss and then devising a treatment that will work best for your condition.

What Does Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) do?

PRP is harvested from your own blood and processed down into high concentrations of platelets and growth factors. PRP is a follicle regeneration powerhouse and studies have shown it helps with multiple types of hair loss.

Procedure

Hair restoration treatments entail harvesting PRP through a simple blood draw, then the PRP is processed for preparation for injection. Your own high quality PRP is then injected into your scalp in the areas of hair loss.

FAQs: PRP Hair Restoration

From our experience, treatment intervals should include monthly sessions for the first 3 months, then a fourth treatment 6 months later (for a total of four treatments over 12 months), followed by maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months.

The treated follicles need time to go through the normal growth phases before results are appreciated. Early signs of new growth are often visible between the 2nd and 3rd treatments, though improvements can appear earlier on or take longer, depending on the individual.

Cost of treatment is $450/ procedure.

The use of PRP for hair restoration is a newer development in the field of regenerative medicine. There are numerous studies showing really positive outcomes for patients with use of PRP for increased hair thickness and development of new hair follicles.
