Hair loss can be one of the most troubling and image-damaging events to experience in your life. Given the high priority that society places on a full head of hair, there is almost nothing worse than discovering your once luscious locks are now thinning. Fortunately, you do not have to simply accept this as the new you. With platelet-rich plasma therapy, also known as PRP, you can regrow your mane in a way that is both natural and long-lasting.
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrated form of protein found in the blood. This plasma contains essential proteins that are excellent for promoting growth and regeneration and is widely considered a useful tool for regrowing lost hair.
During a PRP procedure, the doctor will take a sample of your own blood. The blood is placed in a centrifuge, so only the PRP remains. The PRP is then injected into the treatment site to stimulate hair regrowth in a way that looks and feels natural.
Why Choose PRP?
There are many reasons to choose PRP. However, one of the main benefits of this hair regrowth option is that it is non-invasive. A less painful and less time-consuming process than alternative hair regrowth methods, PRP is a convenient and highly successful option for individuals who are seeking to regain their confidence without ever having to undergo surgery or otherwise take time off from a busy life. Considering the fact many PRP appointments are finished in under an hour, there are ample opportunities to fit this procedure into your day.
Although some patients do experience numbness or sensitivity of the treatment site after their appointment, these symptoms will generally resolve within a few hours. Depending on your specific needs, follow-up appointments may be required.
So if you are looking for a method to regrow your hair that looks natural and helps boost your confidence, PRP may be for you.
