When we start to lose our hair or our hair begins to get thinner, it can feel like it is the end of the world. At Elegance Aesthetics in Baltimore, MD, we understand how important hair is to who we are and how we feel about ourselves.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Restoration treatments, like those offered at Elegance Aesthetics, are available to help you combat thinning hair or hair loss. Using the healing and restorative qualities of your own blood, PRP treatments reactivate your hair follicles to encourage hair growth and improve hair thickness.
Read on to learn more about PRP Hair Restoration treatments and how they can work to restore your crown.
About Platelet-Rich Plasma
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a naturally occurring type of plasma found in our blood. PRP contains important proteins, platelets, and biologically active polypeptides (growth factors) that work to encourage wound healing and tissue generation.
Known for its healing abilities, Platelet-Rich Plasma is used in many applications in dermatological practices, sports medicine, and orthopedics.
PRP for Hair Loss
PRP stimulates hair follicles, encouraging natural hair growth and increasing the thickness and fullness of the hair. PRP Hair Restoration treatments can be used to treat and manage effectively:
Male / Female Pattern Baldness: A genetic condition resulting in progressive hair thinning and hair loss.
Hair Loss from Stress: Also known as Telogen Effluvium, this is a temporary form of hair loss that is usually caused by hormonal changes, stress, or illness.
Autoimmune Disorders: Alopecia Areata and other autoimmune disorders can cause patchy hair loss.
Hair Thinning: General hair thinning due to nutritional deficiencies or old age.
The PRP Hair Restoration treatment at Elegance Aesthetics in Baltimore, MD, is designed to help people in the early stages of hair loss or those looking to improve their hair’s thickness and health.
The PRP Process for Hair Restoration
PRP Hair Restoration treatments work because of the regenerative qualities of the platelets found in our blood. These platelets reactivate hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.
Here are the basic steps for PRP hair treatments:
Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is taken from your arm, just like during a routine blood test at your doctor’s office.
Centrifugation: Your blood is placed into a centrifuge that spins your blood at a very high speed. This process separates the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of your blood.
Injection: PRP is then injected into the scalp, where the growth factors stimulate the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth while strengthening existing hair.
Hair Restoration Treatment at Elegance Aesthetics Baltimore
Here is what you can expect from your PRP Hair Restoration treatment with Elegance Aesthetics in Baltimore, MD:
Consultation
We understand that hair loss can be a difficult experience, and at Elegance Aesthetics, we work hard to ensure that you feel comfortable and confident about the treatments you will be undergoing.
During your initial consultation, you will meet with one of our friendly and experienced Elegance Practitioners, who will discuss the PRP treatment. This is your chance to ask any questions or raise any concerns you may have.
Your practitioner will assess the extent of your hair loss and examine your scalp. After reviewing your medical history, your practitioner will create a bespoke treatment plan that includes details about the treatment, what to expect on the day, any preparatory steps you need to take before treatment, and the cost of the treatment.
PRP Treatment Day
At the start of your PRP treatment, your Elegance practitioner will carefully extract a small amount of blood from your arm. This will then be placed in the centrifuge to separate the PRP from the rest of your blood. Once your PRP syringe has been prepped, your practitioner will inject the treatment into the pre-decided areas of your scalp using a fine needle.
PRP Hair Restoration Aftercare
After your treatment, you will be given aftercare instructions to follow to ensure your scalp heals and your PRP treatment is as successful as possible.
You may be advised to:
- Avoid washing your hair for 48 hours after treatment
- Avoid strenuous activities or exercise
- Follow gentle skincare and haircare instructions
- Avoid using heat on your hair for a few days
- Stay hydrated
You will also need to schedule a follow-up appointment with your practitioner. This appointment is designed to assess the progress of your hair growth and make adjustments to your treatment plan if necessary.
