Everything You Need to Know About PRP Therapy for Hairloss
Hairloss affects millions of people and can be frustrating and discouraging. If you’re looking for an effective, natural way to restore your hair, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is quickly becoming one of the most popular treatments in Houston, Texas. At AVIVA Dermatology, we offer expert PRP treatments tailored to help you regain thicker, healthier hair with minimal downtime.
If you’re considering PRP for hairloss, here are answers to the most commonly asked questions to help you understand how this innovative procedure works and if it’s right for you.
PRP treatment for hairloss: what is it?
PRP therapy is an advanced, natural treatment that harnesses the power of your own blood to encourage hair growth. A small sample of your blood is drawn during the procedure, and it is centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is rich in growth factors that are vital for cell regeneration and repair. This concentrated plasma is then precisely injected into areas of the scalp impacted by hairloss or thinning. The growth factors in PRP work to awaken dormant hair follicles, enhance scalp health, and stimulate the natural regrowth of hair.
How does PRP therapy stimulate hair growth?
The key to PRP’s effectiveness lies in the growth factors within your platelets. Once injected, these growth factors increase blood supply to hair follicles, promote cell proliferation, and extend the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle. This process can lead to thicker, stronger hair overtime. Because PRP uses your body’s own resources, it offers a natural and safe alternative to medications or surgery.
Before & After Results
Who is a suitable candidate for PRP hair treatment?
PRP therapy is best suited for individuals experiencing early to moderate hairloss, including male or female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and hair thinning caused by stress or other medical conditions. Candidates should have active hair follicles and healthy scalp tissue. While PRP is effective for many types of hairloss, it is less effective for complete baldness, where follicles are destroyed. We provide a thorough evaluation to determine if PRP is the right option for your unique needs at our office.
How many PRP sessions are required?
Typically, most patients require an initial series of three to four sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. After the initial series, maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months help sustain and enhance results. Your treatment plan at our office will be personalized based on your hairloss severity, response to therapy, and goals.
How soon will I see results from PRP therapy?
Results vary by individual, but many patients notice improvements such as reduced shedding and increased hair thickness within 3 to 6 months after starting treatment. Full benefits typically develop over the course of several sessions as the hair follicles gradually regenerate and strengthen. Because PRP promotes natural hair regrowth, patience and consistency are key.
