Restore thinning hair naturally with PRP hair restoration at SpaSurgica. This innovative treatment stimulates your scalp using your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, promoting hair growth and improving hair density. Ideal for men and women experiencing hair loss, PRP can help you achieve fuller, healthier hair without surgery.
Overview
PRP hair restoration uses platelet-rich plasma, a component of your blood containing growth factors that promote tissue repair and regeneration. A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelets, and injected into the scalp. These platelets release growth factors, which stimulate hair follicles, encourage hair regrowth, and improve thickness. PRP boosts the natural hair growth cycle by extending the anagen (growth) phase, making it effective for treating hair thinning and early stages of hair loss in both men and women.
Indications for PRP Hair Restoration:
- Thinning hair or early-stage hair loss
- Androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness)
- Hair shedding due to stress or hormonal changes
- Desire to improve hair density without surgery
- Post-hair transplant support for enhanced healing and growth
- Fine or thinning hair along the hairline or crown
Procedure Details
Dr. Elmaraghy begins by drawing a small sample of your blood. This is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Once prepared, Dr. Elmaraghy uses a fine needle to inject the PRP directly into targeted areas of your scalp. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. After the treatment, there’s minimal downtime, and you can resume normal activities right away.
Recovery & Results
After PRP hair restoration, you may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a day or two. Most patients resume normal activities immediately. Hair growth isn’t instant; noticeable improvements usually begin within 3-6 months as the hair follicles respond to the treatment.
For optimal results, Dr. Elmaraghy typically recommends a series of 3-4 treatments spaced about one month apart. Continued maintenance sessions every 6-12 months help sustain the results.
PRP Hair Restoration FAQs
How Long Does Each PRP Hair Restoration Session Take?
Each PRP hair restoration session takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. This includes the time needed to draw your blood, process the platelet-rich plasma, and perform the injections.
Is PRP Hair Restoration Painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during PRP hair restoration. Dr. Elmaraghy applies a topical anesthetic to your scalp before the injections to ensure your comfort. You might feel slight pressure or a mild pinch, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Dr. Elmaraghy recommends an initial series of 3-4 sessions spaced about one month apart. The exact number of sessions depends on your hair loss severity and desired results. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are often suggested to sustain the benefits.
When Will I Start Seeing Results?
You can expect to see noticeable improvements in hair thickness and density within 3-6 months after starting PRP hair restoration. Hair growth occurs gradually as the treatment stimulates your hair follicles to enter the active growth phase.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Side effects are rare and typically mild. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a day or two. PRP uses your body’s own blood, so the risk of allergic reactions is minimal.
