How to Treat Thinning Hair with Growth Factors (PRP)
Everyone will experience different signs of aging as time goes on. There are few things that make you feel as helpless or frustrated as much as thinning hair. Many people hold attachments to their hair as a part of their identity– so when you start to lose it, it can bring on insecurity and worry and decrease your confidence. You are definitely not alone if you’re experiencing this.
Millions of men and women will experience different types of hair loss and for different reasons– sometimes it’s just genetics or the natural aging process, while other times it has more to do with hormonal changes or underlying health conditions. No matter what the cause is, it’s easy to get discouraged when this change is taking place.
At The Beauty Collective in Reno, Nevada, our team can treat hair loss with a revolutionary, non-surgical approach using your own growth factors drawn from your blood. Using PRP for hair restoration is a simple outpatient procedure that can have you enjoying a fuller hairline and a more youthful head of hair.
What are Growth Factors (PRP)?
Researchers have learned over the years that our body is powerful at healing itself in many ways. One of those ways is by using PRP injections to help heal skin conditions, improve hair loss, and speed up healing for certain types of injuries.
Platelets found in our blood contain special growth factors that help aid our body to heal and are beneficial for the regeneration of tissue. The best part about PRP injections is that there are little to no side effects, and they are considered low risk since they are created from your own blood.
How Do PRP Injections Work?
During the procedure, our team will draw your blood and it is then spun in a centrifuge causing the platelets to sink at the bottom. The platelets are then injected strategically into your scalp. The protein-packed growth factors over time will help to nourish your hair follicles, allow your scalp to heal, and naturally promote hair growth.
What are the Benefits of PRP Injections for Hair Loss?
Using PRP injections to promote hair growth is an excellent alternative to surgical approaches. It is minimally invasive and a totally natural approach given that it’s using your own blood instead of a foreign substance. Some other key benefits include:
Achieving fuller and healthier hair growth
Restores and heals your scalp
Can improve hair growth around scars and before and after other hair procedures
Long-lasting results
Restored self-confidence
Are PRP Injections Right for Me?
There are many different types of hair loss conditions. It’s important to note that PRP injections are not the right solution for everyone. PRP injections for hair loss are meant to treat the areas of the scalp with thinning hair and not necessarily areas that are already bald with dormant hair follicles.
We want to stress how important it is to find out the root cause of your hair loss and which type of hair loss you’re experiencing before jumping forward to any particular treatment approach. Working with trusted providers is imperative when it comes to hair loss as it’s a very delicate process.
What Results Should I Expect?
We will assess your scalp during a consultation first and foremost. Depending on your unique condition, we will recommend a personalized treatment plan. We typically expect 4 treatments around a month apart to be effective at stimulating hair growth.
Patients will typically see new hair growth within a couple of months of the first treatment. Everyone’s condition is so different, which means results may vary from person-to-person.
