August 15, 2023 Hair Loss
The hair on your head can be one of the most affirming aspects of your whole person. While it certainly does not define your beauty or your value, studies show that it can affect some people psychologically. Specifically, thinning hair or perceived hair loss can negatively impact an individual’s psyche and lead them to distress. Thankfully, convenient, non-surgical treatments exist to offer help to individuals who may be struggling with their hair, such as PRP for hair loss.
Understanding PRP for Hair Loss
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an injectable treatment used to speed up the recovery of damaged tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints by increasing the concentration of the patient’s own platelets. However, PRP has also been utilized in recent years to treat hair problems, including alopecia, poor hair growth, and general hair loss.
PRP injections into the scalp work to stimulate dormant hair follicles. When activated, the platelets in PRP release growth factors at a greater concentration than in regular blood. Also, as a result of increased blood flow to the scalp, the hair grows thicker and shinier.
Benefits of PRP for Hair
PRP has been studied and shown to be a safe, effective, steroid-free alternative therapy for alopecia areata, a condition of the immune system that attacks hair follicles. Injectable PRP has the potential to alleviate male and female pattern baldness by preventing further hair loss and stimulating the development of new hair. Additionally, PRP may help stimulate hair growth after a hair transplant.
