PRP therapy involves using platelet-rich plasma to help regenerate new hair growth. Plasma contains approximately five times the amount of platelets that are normally found in the blood.
Platelets are responsible for clotting whenever there is a wound, and they also contain growth properties that help spur cell regeneration. As such, PRP therapy is an effective way to revive damaged hair follicles, thereby stimulating them to grow new strands.
The Best Candidates for PRP Therapy
PRP therapy is also most effective on those who are experiencing only a moderate amount of hair loss.
The best candidates for PRP therapy are those who:
A nurse will collect approximately 60 to 100 ml of blood with a syringe. While you lounge comfortably in a chair, this blood will them be placed in a machine known as a centrifuge. The centrifuge takes the donated blood and “spins” it for approximately 15 minutes in order to separate the various components of it.
When this process is complete, the platelet rich plasma is removed, and the other contents are discarded. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the treatment area, stimulating new hair to grow over the course of several weeks.
No downtime is needed whatsoever after PRP therapy. You will only need to schedule about a half day off from work in order to undergo this procedure. You should not donate blood or plasma for approximately two to three weeks beforehand to ensure there is an adequate supply available.
You may need to stop smoking or taking certain medications just prior to PRP therapy. During your consultation for PRP therapy for hair restoration Newport Beach hair restoration experts at NJPS can address those points and any other questions you may have. Aside from that, no other preparations are needed.
One of the biggest benefits to PRP therapy is the fact that no anesthesia whatsoever is required. Since this procedure is no more uncomfortable than donating blood, there is not even a need for a sedative to help you relax.
PRP therapy is a highly customized procedure, which is why it is not possible to provide you with a cost up front. During your consultation Dr. DiBernardo will assess the amount of hair loss you have and then tailor a PRP therapy procedure especially for you.
At that time, he will be better able to provide you with an accurate cost. For your convenience, we accept cash, check, Visa®, Master®Card, American Express® and Discover®. Financing options are also available via CareCredit®.
Dr. DiBernardo will provide you with post-operative instructions on caring for the treated area and for your new hair as it grows in.
Be sure to follow these instructions precisely to ensure the best possible results. PRP therapy is an effective way to stimulate your own hair growth and emerging research shows it may even be beneficial at preventing hair loss from occurring in the first place. Residents of Bloomfield, Essex County, and Morristown should contact New Jersey Plastic Surgery® in Montclair, NJ to schedule a consultation.
You should avoid sun exposure and the use of chemical straighteners, coloring or styling products until the area is completely healed.
