Hair loss indiscriminately affects both men and women. When hair follicles begin to shrink, hair will grow back shorter and finer. Over time, these hair follicles will cease creating new hair altogether. This leads to bald spots and thin-looking hair. A treatment option called platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection is found to help heal the scalp and lead to renewed hair growth. Pure Youth Wellness & Aesthetics is a wellness clinic experienced in providing PRP injections to those with hair loss.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections?
Before we can delve into PRP injections, it is important to know how the body’s typical healing process works. Blood is composed of platelets, as well as red and white blood cells. When you are injured, these platelets are some of the first components to arrive to facilitate healing.
Pure Youth Wellness & Aesthetics will take a sample of your blood, spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets from the blood, and then use these platelets in your PRP injections. A high concentration of platelets injected into your scalp is meant to facilitate healing and regenerate hair growth.
How Often are PRP Injections Needed?
The healthcare professionals at Pure Youth Wellness & Aesthetics will identify on a case-by-case basis how often you will require treatments. Once the initial treatment is completed, you may not require a follow-up appointment for several months. However, some patients need several baseline treatments before they can go several months between appointments. Everyone’s body reacts differently to the treatments, and there is no way to tell prior to conducting the first treatment.
How Long is a PRP Injection Appointment?
The process for a typical PRP injection starts with our technician drawing a sample of your blood. We spin your blood in our centrifuge where it separates the platelets from the other components. The platelets are removed from the vial and are then injected into the problem areas on your scalp. This entire process takes less than 1 hour from start to finish. After the process is complete, most patients are free to resume normal activities without any restrictions.
