PRP for Hair ReGrowth
Platelet Rich Plasma for hair regrowth that’s heads above anything else.
Hair is a symbol of femininity. Women often see their hair as a reflection of their identity because it is both personal and public. Many women feel that a bad hair day equals an overall bad day: when a woman’s hair is too fine, too frizzy, too dry, turning grey or falling out, her self-esteem is seriously affected. Introducing PRP Hair Regrowth.
At Audace Medical Spa, we can discuss treatment options including current medications and/or using PRP for hair regrowth. PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is being used in several facilities across the US for hair regrowth and is showing amazing results in stimulating hair follicles into a growth phase. We are offering this exciting treatment for women who are experiencing hair thinning. Dr. Lovitt has been working with Dr. James Harris – a world renown hair transplant hair surgeon who practices in Denver and will offer free consultations for hair regrowth solutions at both locations: Audace Medical Spa or at Hair Sciences Center of Colorado. Get out your brush and smile…there is help.
Oh, just the thought of it.
Q~ What causes hair loss in women?
A~ Hair thinning in women which affects nearly 40 million American women is mainly due to heredity and can start any time after puberty. However, we also know that female pattern hair loss can be strongly influenced by age, nutrition, stress, surgery, medications, illness, social/lifestyle factors, hair care and more. As hair follicles weaken and stop producing hair, hair loss occurs.
Q~ What are PRP hair regrowth treatments?
A~ PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma for hair regrowth is an in-office, non-surgical, autologous treatment derived from the patient’s own blood that can be performed in about an hour. After the area of concern is identified, evaluated and measured, standardized medical photos are taken in the photo suite. Special gentle and sterile techniques and equipment are used to separate and concentrate the platelets and plasma from a small sample of peripheral blood.
Q~ How do they work?
A~ A small sample of the blood and PRP is tested in a hematology analyzer to measure and document the improved platelet concentration. PRP contains growth factors and cytokines that have been shown to be responsible for stimulating and enhancing hair follicle function. The PRP may be combined with ECM or Extracellular Matrix (like ACell or BioD) for a stronger and longer hair growth result. The scalp is prepared with antiseptic solution and anesthetic (a “ring block,” not simply local anesthetic gel) is used to completely numb the scalp for a 100% painless procedure. Small injections of the PRP deliver the powerful platelet-derived growth factors into the skin at the level of the weak follicles. Electronic, mechanical microneedling is performed. A session of Low Level Laser Therapy is performed before the patient leaves the office.
Q~ Who is the ideal candidate for PRP treatments for hair loss?
A~ We focus on two types of hair loss patients when it comes to PRP treatments: patients with areas of “weak quality” hair growth on the scalp, where functioning hair follicles can still be observed, and patients with small areas of alopecia areata. In our experience, these are the patients who appear to have the greatest success with PRP hair regrowth treatments.
