Hair Restoration Using PRP and Microneedling

Hair loss is a common concern for men and women, affecting self-confidence, quality of life, and emotional well-being. Microneedling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can effectively treat this issue, offering a minimally invasive solution for natural hair restoration. Together, they stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and encourage the regeneration of thicker, fuller hair over time. This dual approach addresses thinning hair while revitalizing the scalp, promoting long-term hair health.

How Microneedling and PRP Work

Microneedling is a process where tiny sterile needles create micro injuries at the surface of the scalp. This process opens pathways or channels in the skin. The micro injury causes natural wound healing and encourages the production of collagen and elastin.

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, involves using a patient’s own blood cells to heal and rejuvenate the scalp. A blood sample is drawn and processed in a centrifuge. The portion of the blood that contains plasma and platelets is then removed for injection. After microneedling, the PRP is injected into the scalp, targeting areas with thinning hair. The PRP is absorbed and enhances the effectiveness of the procedure by revitalizing dormant hair follicles and increasing blood flow to encourage natural hair growth.

Benefits of PRP and Microneedling for Hair Restoration

  • Minimally Invasive: Suitable for a wide range of individuals and hair loss patterns.
  • Improves Hair Quality: Stimulates hair growth, thickens hair follicles, and increases hair density for visible improvements.
  • Promotes Scalp Health: Enhances blood flow and promotes the formation of new tissue.
  • Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery process with little disruption to daily life.

Potential Side Effects

Potential side effects include mild discomfort or erythema. This typically subsides in a few days. Discomfort can be treated by using Tylenol. There may be some temporary swelling or bruising. This usually resolves within a few days also. There is a slight although rare risk of an infection, but choosing a skilled and experienced medical professional will reduce this risk significantly.
