When to Consider PRP for Hair Restoration
- Posted on: Nov 20 2024
How often do you look into the mirror and miss how thick your hair used to be? Where there was once volume, now you just see hair that lays flat and looks barely there. You’re not alone, as almost half the female population starts losing their hair in their 30s. Things can be even worse for men, as their genetics offer these same unwanted results.
When this happens, an excellent way to restore the beauty of your hair is to go straight for the scalp. A healthy scalp has enough nourishment to send through the follicle into the hair shaft. PRP hair restoration can help you with that, and this blog will offer guidance into whether or not you need it.
What Is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration is an innovative treatment that uses your own blood, specifically the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to heal the scalp and stimulate cell growth. Once the blood is drawn and passed through a centrifuge, the layers are separated, and the PRP is injected into the scalp, where it begins nourishing the hair follicles.
Over time, the treatment not only helps thicken the existing hair strands, but it also reawakens the hair follicles that have already gone dormant.
Signs You Need PRP Hair Restoration
Hair restoration can benefit plenty of people, regardless of the status of their hair. That said, some men and women might need it more than others, and these signs usually suggest that:
1. Your Hair Has Gotten Thinner
Thinning hair, especially the hairline or at the top of your scalp, is usually a sign of androgenetic alopecia (a fancy term for pattern hair loss). Aside from aging and genetics, this can happen for various reasons, from stress to pregnancy and a poor diet. PRP hair restoration can help reverse this effect, slowing down the hair loss process and even reversing the effect.
2. You Are Shedding Hair Excessively
Most humans shed around 50-100 hairs daily, which is pretty normal. However, if you find a clump of hair on your hairbrush every time you pass it through, or just touching the hair leads to strands shedding, you may want to consider PRP. This can happen due to nutritional deficiencies or stress, but PRP can strengthen the follicle enough to prevent the shedding.
3. Your Hair Refuses to Grow
For the hair to grow, it needs a steady dose of nutrients from the scalp, which happens with proper blood flow. When that is lacking, it can lead to a plateau in growth, making it look like your hair is stagnant at a certain length. PRP can boost blood circulation, improving the hair’s growth rate.
4. Your Hair Is Becoming Brittle or Weak
Hair only grows nice, strong, and shiny when it successfully draws nutrients from the scalp through the hair follicle. When there aren’t enough nutrients to pull up or the follicle is damaged, the hair grows weaker and loses its natural texture. PRP hair restoration helps strengthen the hair follicle from its root, preventing your hair from breaking.
5. You Don’t Want to Start Medication Treatments
About 10 percent of the allergies that we get are caused by medication, and this does not include the side effects you may have while taking them. When you want a more natural approach to hair loss, PRP can help you grow your hair while bypassing these issues. Since it’s your blood, the chances of an allergy are zero.
