Thinning hair is a significant problem for men and women of any age in Las Vegas, NV. Even a small amount of hair loss can create self-confidence issues, make a person look older and create anxiety about going out with friends and family.
Men and women experiencing male or female pattern hair loss can expect to see benefits in undergoing PRP treatments. PRP for hair loss involves withdrawing a small amount of blood, harvesting the plasma-rich platelets through a centrifuging process, and then injecting the platelets into the scalp.
How it Impacts Hair Growth
While PRP treatments are used for a wide range of medical issues, it is also highly effective for hair growth. The addition of the PRP to the scalp increases the amount of growth factor in the area, which in turn stimulates the hair follicles.
The result is a steady, even improvement in the density of the hair. In addition, existing hair is less likely to shed, and new hair begins to grow on the scalp, resulting in a thicker, fuller head of your own hair.
No Downtime or Recovery
The injections for PRP for hair loss treatment is done with a very thin, fine needle. They are also very shallow injections, so there is no pain or discomfort. Topical anesthetics are often used to minimize the slight sensation of the injection. Men and women may have a slight tenderness or discomfort at the site of the injections, typically for no more than 5 days.
Visible Results
Once treated with PRP for hair loss, patients can expect to start to see results after two to three treatments, with each treatment about a month apart. Most patients have noticeably thicker hair within about three to five months. It is then usually recommended for annual treatments to maintain the hair growth and prevent the male or female pattern baldness from reoccurring.
