How Does PRP Hair Restoration Treatment Work?

When you arrive for your PRP hair restoration treatment, your scalp will be cleansed, and you will be given a topical anesthetic to help minimize any discomfort. First, a small amount of blood will be taken from one of your veins.

That blood will be put into a device that spins until the red blood cells are separated from the plasma. Once separated, the plasma is then placed inside a syringe so that it can be directly injected into targeted areas of the scalp.

These PRP hair injections are reported to be very tolerable with the help of the topical anesthetic. The treatment length varies from patient to patient, but typically takes about an hour and a half.
Overview Hair Loss Treatments

What is PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair restoration is a hair loss treatment that utilizes your body’s own plasma to promote new hair growth. Within our blood, there is plasma. Within the plasma are platelets. And within those platelets are growth factors, which grow cells and repair tissue. Over a series of treatments administered via PRP hair injections, these growth factors can help men and women who have certain hair conditions — especially androgenetic alopecia — to restore hair growth. We are happy to offer hair restoration at Kare Chiropractic St Peters, MO.

What Is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)? 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedure that reduces the shrinking of your hair follicles and stimulates and nourishes your hair follicles, restoring your natural hair growth process.

PRP contains growth factors, stem cells, and natural proteins that help improve your existing hair’s health and density.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have been found to speed up the healing process of torn ligaments, tendons, muscular joints, and hair loss. The injection of PRP into patients activates the body’s natural healing processes to treat musculoskeletal injuries and diseases.

Our team of professionals at Kare Chiropractic can provide the best hair loss treatment in St.Peters, MO. 

What Can PRP Be Used For? 

  • Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis).
  • PRP is used with other knee osteoarthritis treatments to reduce pain, enhance function, and rebuild cartilage.
  • Leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP) is best for knee osteoarthritis.
  • Used for common sports injuries such as muscular strains, dislocations, and ligament tears.
  • Wounds.
  • Loss of hair.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is extracted from the patient’s blood by centrifuging one or more tubes of blood to concentrate the platelets for injection. Injecting the activated platelets into the affected area is the next step. Growth factors are produced, encouraging the body to make more repair cells.

After about four months, you should notice hair growth after PRP therapy. Though, up to a year after the treatment, you should still be experiencing improvements. A yearly or so treatment schedule may be necessary for upkeep.

Eighty-four percent of studies revealed a beneficial effect of PRP, and 50% demonstrated a statistically significant improvement, while 34% showed hair density and hair thickness improvement.

PRP Hair Retoration Recovery

PRP hair injections allow you to return to your regular daily activities directly after your appointment. However, some patients do experience soreness, swelling, itching, or pinpoint bleeding at the injection sites. These side effects will subside quickly.
