Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Hair Growth Injections Derby - PRP Derby
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy Injections are a proven hair loss treatment that can regenerate and promote hair growth for men and women by using your own plasma and growth factors to target areas of hair loss. The Plasma supports existing hair and reactivates dormant follicles.
Our Specialists use PRP to encourage the growth of thinning hair and promote the growth of transplanted hair. Hair follicles depend on the nutrition they get from the blood supply.
PRP injections work by introducing platelets so by administering PRP around damaged hair follicles healthy hair growth will be promoted.
Is PRP hair loss treatment right for me?
PRP treatment can tackle both male/female pattern baldness and alopecia as it encourages the growth of existing hair follicles, making your hair appear fuller and healthier without resorting to surgery. It is therefore the most natural way to stimulate hair growth. PRP is selectively and carefully delivered into specific areas with a series of injections. Before the treatment, you will be assessed to see if PRP is the right treatment for you.
What is Platelet Rich Plasma and how does it work?
Our blood consists of a liquid component known as plasma. It also consists of three main solid components which include the red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets. Platelets play an important role in forming blood clots. They also consist of special proteins, known as growth factors, which help with our body’s healing process.
Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a high concentration of platelets and plasma. A normal blood specimen contains only 6% platelets, while platelet-rich plasma contains 94% of platelets and 5 to 10 times the concentration of growth factors found in normal blood, thus greater healing properties.
What is the procedure and recovery time?
PRP Therapy is a very simple and safe procedure where blood is taken from the patient just like in a regular blood test. Then the blood is put into a centrifugal machine for 8 to 10 minutes and spun. This facilitates the separation of blood and then the platelet-rich plasma is collected and injected into the desired area.
PRP treatment for hair rejuvenation involves the injection of a patient’s own plasma and growth factors in to the to improve hair density and the acceleration of hair growth in order to improve the appearance of hair thickness and condition.
The treatment takes as little as 30 minutes and patients usually start with a course of 4 treatments, 1 month apart. Most patients start to see early-stage improvement from 3-6 months and the full effect from 6-12 months. However, it is important to know that top-up treatments every 2-3 months are required for the maintenance of thicker, fuller hair.
You can immediately return to your normal daily routine although strenuous activity and alcohol consumption should be avoided for 24 hours post-procedure. Patients may experience a little shedding of hair within the first 1-2 months – this is normal and means the treatment is working.
