What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma, the liquid part of your blood that holds high levels of natural growth factors. PRP hair restoration uses these growth factors to restore follicles and regrow fuller, thicker hair. It is a minimally invasive treatment for hair loss in men and women. We offer PRP for hair loss in Birmingham, MI and East Lansing.
Sports medicine has used PRP for over a decade to repair joints. It later became popular for facial rejuvenation as the “Vampire Facial.” Learn about our other PRP injections.
How Does PRP for Hair Loss Work?
- A quick, routine blood draw.
- A centrifuge separates the plasma from the blood.
- The thinning area of the scalp is numbed.
- The PRP solution is injected into the scalp.
The growth factors help repair dormant follicles, improve circulation and stimulate hair growth. Over time, follicles resume producing hair shafts. This can increase hair count, strength, thickness and fullness.
