using your blood to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment option for hair loss. It involves using a patient's own blood components to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. PRP has gained popularity as a therapeutic option for individuals experiencing various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness). PRP plays an important role within the complete hair restoration program at Miami Men’s.
Blood Collection: The first step of preparing PRP involves drawing the patient’s blood.
Centrifugation: The collected blood is then processed through two cycles in a centrifuge to separate blood components and produce PRP which contains a platelet concentration that is 5-7 times higher than that found in whole blood.
Injection or Topical Application: In order to maximize comfort and allow for optimal treatment conditions, local anesthetic is given to completely numb the scalp. Once a patient is entirely numb, our expert hair restoration surgeons carefully inject the prepared PRP at a precise depth in the scalp to ensure exposure of the follicles to PRP while taking care to avoid injury to existing hairs.
The Miami Men’s PRP protocol for hair restoration initially involves 3 treatments administered at 4 week intervals. Clinical studies have shown an increase in hair count and hair density at the end of an initial treatment cycle in as many as 80% of men.
For those patients who respond well to an initial treatment cycle, maintenance sessions are strongly recommended to maintain the benefits of the initial treatment cycle. It is crucial to remember that male pattern hair loss is a progressive process that will continue unless stabilizing treatments are maintained.
PRP is well tolerated by the vast majority of patients with minimal reported adverse effects. Considering the promising initial clinical data behind PRP and the minimal associated risks, PRP represents a key element to any hair restoration strategy.
PRP treatment is well-tolerated, and most individuals can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure. Some minor discomfort, redness, or mild swelling at the injection sites may occur but typically subsides quickly.
