How PRP for hair loss works?
Our body’s natural healing system is adept at repairing damage and renewing aging tissues, a process also crucial for hair health. Within our blood are stem cells that can develop into healthy tissues, including those supporting hair growth. These cells are instrumental in activating vital growth factors essential for hair regeneration and health. In hair treatments, we harness this capability by isolating platelet-rich plasma (PRP) through centrifugation, concentrating these growth factors to promote hair growth and rejuvenation.
The use of PRP as a treatment for hair loss is a newer development compared to existing traditional hair restoration methods. PRP treatments have long been proven effective for other aesthetic procedures. For one, various PRP therapy procedures have been employed to promote wound healing and skin regeneration for many years now. Their effectiveness has also been observed in various medical fields, including the following: Plastic Surgery, Sports Medicine, Oral Surgery, Orthopedics, Neurosurgery.
The use of PRP as a treatment modality for hair loss is based on the idea that the plasma’s growth-stimulating properties may have the ability to induce activity in hair follicles that have been observed to be inactive. This is intended to set the human body’s natural ability to produce hair in motion.
As mentioned, the use of PRP hair loss treatments is a relatively new development. That said, early data available tend to show that at least 50% of patients who have undergone a PRP treatment are believed to experience encouraging and positive results.
What makes our PRP treatment different?
Not all PRP treatments are created equal. Unlike other hair loss treatment providers, our specialists only employs highly advanced PRP technologies available on the market. Although the response to PRP treatments varies from one patient to another, our system typically produces the best possible outcome under any normal circumstance.
The traditional PRP injection techniques are delivered through gun injections, the penetration of which does not reach deep enough levels. As a result, the hair shaft, as well as the supporting tissues responsible for hair growth are not properly stimulated. For a hair restoration procedure to be successful and achieve optimal results, the PRP must be delivered precisely, and deep enough into the skin. As such, only qualified surgeons must perform the procedure. Our greatest strength is in the expertise of our team. Patients undergoing any of our PRP treatment methods receive care exclusively from experienced and highly skilled surgeons.
You can also expect to receive all important information relevant to your preferred procedure. We will also give you honest advice on whether or not PRP injections are appropriate for you. We will also give you a detailed assessment of other treatment options in relation to your particular preferences and needs. With our help you can also find the right solution that will encourage and stabilize your hair growth.
As a full hair restoration procedure, PRP cannot be used instead of a hair transplant, but, it can prove to be a perfect choice for patients who are in the early stages of hair loss, women experiencing hair loss, as well as patients who are currently undergoing hair transplant procedures. When paired with PRP treatments, the most exceptional results can be achieved.
What to expect from PRP treatment at our clinic
Once you have decided to undergo PRP hair loss treatment in Toronto, we will first draw some blood from you. Blood is usually drawn from your arm, just like how your primary care doctor or nurse would do when performing laboratory tests.
Your blood will then be processed using a sterile centrifuge, a device that spins rapidly to separate your blood sample into different components, including the platelet-rich plasma.
Before you receive the PRP via injection on your scalp, the doctor in charge of the procedure will first administer some local anesthesia on your scalp. This way, you will feel only minimal to no discomfort for the rest of the procedure.
How long does it take to perform a PRP hair loss treatment?
Typically, an entire PRP hair loss treatment procedure takes only around 60 to 90 minutes to complete. Because of the local anesthesia, you can expect to experience only minimal discomfort. Because the treatment is a non-surgical, minimally invasive PRP therapy option, there will be no scarring after the procedure. In fact, you can drive home right after the treatment, and you can go back to work or your regular daily activities the following day. Just refrain from doing physically-demanding activities or exercises for a few days, just to be on the safe side.
In most cases, you will start to notice encouraging and positive results around 4 to 6 months after your first treatment. To get the most optimal outcome possible, it is recommended that you undergo follow-up or subsequent treatments once every 3 to 4 months. PRP hair loss treatment in Toronto can be done on its own or to complement other treatment methods. Combining the treatments is usually the best option to reverse or lessen hair loss among healthy adults. Contact us now to learn more or to schedule a consultation meeting!
