Can I use PRP injections for the treatment of alopecia?

As you age, it is expected that your hair may begin to thin. However, some men and women feel extremely self-conscious about the loss of their hair, especially when it becomes more noticeable and pronounced. At Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine, our team of professionals assists patients in the areas of Manhattan, New York and Jamaica, Queens, New York with ways to achieve thicker, fuller hair. For many of our patients, we might recommend a treatment known as PRP injections for alopecia–the medical term for hair loss.

What are PRP injections?

PRP is the acronym for Platelet Rich Plasma, a natural substance found in your blood. The plasma contains an abundance of growth factors that can help regenerate tissue, which means it stimulates hair growth for those who suffer from alopecia. At Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine, our team will first draw a sample of your blood and separate it using a device known as a centrifuge. Once the PRP has been separated, it is then reinjected into the area where hair restoration is needed.

How do PRP injections work for hair restoration?

Instead of undergoing invasive procedures such as hair transplants, PRP injections provide a natural way to restore fuller, thicker hair. The growth factors in the injected plasma will stimulate the follicles and trigger the growth of new and healthy hair. In some cases, it may take several treatments to achieve your desired results, but PRP has been known to be extremely effective for those who suffer from alopecia. It often eliminates the need for surgical treatments while remaining minimally invasive.

When will I see the results from PRP injections for alopecia?

The amount of time it takes to see results can vary depending on the individual. It is common for our patients to see increased hair growth within just a few months, but some people may not start seeing results until after multiple treatments have been performed. Our team at Zen Med Spa Aesthetics and Regenerative Medicine will be able to provide you with more information about PRP injections and if they are an appropriate solution for your unique needs. An evaluation is often recommended during the initial consultation to determine candidacy for this or other hair restoration methods available.
