The solution to a fuller, thicker, more voluminous hair is hidden inside you – and we mean that literary! The most sought-after non-surgical hair restoration treatment is available at Wellness Centre 4 You and has been proving to be one of the most rewarding procedures of the Centre!
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is an innovative hair restoration treatment that works by injecting platelet-rich plasma into areas of the treatment.
It is a three-step medical procedure in which a patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then the plasma from said blood is injected into the scalp.
Most Plate-Rich-Plasma Therapies require a minimum of three treatments 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.
The procedure is meant to:
- Recruit new hairs to grow
- Nourish and revitalize existing hair
- Stimulate the stem cells that are around the follicles to get thicker
The treatment is non-surgical, with little to no side effects or risk of allergic reaction*.
How is PRP Hair Restoration performed?
STEP 1
Your blood is drawn — typically from your arm — and put into a centrifuge — a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities.
STEP 2
After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into three layers:
- platelet-poor plasma
- platelet-rich plasma
- red blood cells
STEP 3
The platelet-rich-plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the treatment.
Platelet Rich Plasma Injections are highly effective for both men and women. Benefits include*:
- No risks of an allergic reaction
- Minimal pain or discomfort
- Safe, non-invasive and non-surgical treatment
- Minimal side effects
Frequently Asked Question
Platelet Rich Plasma is a groundbreaking medical treatment that improves hair growth* and naturally reverses thinning hair.
When Platelet Rich Plasma is injected into the skin, the injection causes a small injury that activates the platelets and allows them to do what they do: generate growth. Platelets do this by releasing healing proteins that are called growth factors. When platelet levels are extremely above their normal concentration (which is what happens during the Platelet Rich Plasma treatment), it boosts the follicle’s ability to become thicker.
Following the treatment, most people will experience heat, redness and mild to moderate swelling in the treated area. However, this will only last 1 to 2 days. Cold compresses will help reduce discomfort and swelling. Bruising can also occur and may last several days.
Results begin to show 3-4 weeks after the first PRP treatment is completed and continue to improve with time.
The number of required treatments will depend on the patient’s condition and improvement goals. Three treatment sessions are generally recommended, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
