What is PRP?
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is concentrated blood plasma that contains between 3 and 5 times the amount of platelets as standard human blood. It also contains bioactive proteins, mesenchymal stem cells, and other benefits that aid in hair growth and wound healing.
Is PRP safe?
Published medical literature from the United States and Europe has confirmed the benefits of PRP as being safe to use on humans. PRP treatments have been available for nearly two decades for not only hair loss, but also oral surgery, cosmetic surgery, orthopedic therapy, and sports medicine. Over this period, results have been successful and have produced evidence showing PRP treatments as a positive option to promote hair growth.
How is PRP treatment performed?
Once you discuss your goals with Dr. Robin Unger, your blood will be drawn and spun in a centrifuge. In a closed sterile system, the PRP will be concentrated and separated from the rest of the blood. The PRP will then be injected into the affected area. A topical anesthetic or nerve block may be given so you don’t feel any pain, but you will not be sedated. When getting PRP New York patients may return to daily life with ease.
Are there any side effects?
PRP is considered to be a safe and natural approach to treating hair loss. The procedure uses your own blood cells, and after concentrating them, they are returned to an area of your body in need. There is little risk of getting an infection, allergic reaction, or immune system rejection. Bruising, headache, and mild redness could occur and are dependent upon each individual treatment.
Who should not have PRP treatment?
If you are a heavy smoker, or if you frequently use drugs or alcohol, PRP treatment may not be a suitable option. If you have been diagnosed with chronic liver disease, metabolic and systemic disorders, thrombocytopenias, hypofibrinogenaemia, hemodynamic instability, or sepsis, you should speak further with a PRP New York hair loss doctor.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
You may need between 3 and 5 sessions which are to be repeated every 1 to 2 months. Depending on the severity of the hair loss, some patients might need a maintenance session every 6 months to one year. Visible results of new hair growth can typically be seen in the first 3 or 4 months with further improvement being noticeable in the forthcoming months.
