PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, has become one of the most popular therapies in regenerative treatments. It is used in a number of different procedures to repair soft tissues, promote cellular regeneration, and enhance the healing process. One of its more recent uses is for hair restoration; when administered into the scalp, the platelet-rich plasma stimulates the follicles’ ability to produce new hair growth, resulting in a thick, full head of hair. The process requires patience as it typically takes a few months to see results. It is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that has few potential side effects or risks. Because it uses PRP gathered from the patient’s blood, there is virtually zero chance of it being rejected.

PRP is an effective hair restoration procedure as it uses growth factors in the patient’s blood to stimulate the scalp to restore hair growth, improve the strength of hair, and increase the thickness of hair. Compared to areas of complete hair loss, the treatment works best in areas of hair that are thinning. The time it takes for PRP to regrow hair is different in every situation and is also dependent upon a number of factors unique to each patient, including:

– The number of areas being treated
– The size of the areas being treated
– The severity of thinning hair
– The patient’s metabolism
– The patient’s desired results
– The number of treatments received

In most situations, it takes several months to see any noticeable results; this is because PRP works slowly yet steadily to regrow hair and stimulate the follicles to produce new hair growth. Depending on the degree of hair loss/thinning, patients are often recommended to receive three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. After which time maintenance therapy can be done once to twice per year.

There is some level of discomfort associated with PRP hair treatment; each injection may sting a little or feel like a sharp pinch as the PRP enters the root of the scalp. Many clinics ice the area or may even use a chilled air blower to minimize discomfort during the procedure. If the procedure is causing you a significant amount of discomfort, please let your clinician know; they may be able to provide a numbing solution.

The cost of PRP hair restoration varies significantly and is highly dependent upon several factors unique to each patient, including:

– The number of areas being treated
– The size of the areas being treated
– The degree of hair loss/thinning
– The desired results of the patient
– The geographic location of the clinic
– The clinician’s level of expertise

Due to the number of variables involved, the cost of PRP hair restoration can range from several hundred dollars to a few thousand. For a more accurate estimate of how much PRP will cost in your situation, please call Center for Wellness today or schedule a consultation with us.
