What you need to Know about Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

Blood is made up of different elements which work together to help the human body be healthy. One component of blood, Platelet Rich Plasma, has the duty of encouraging faster healing. Professionals in the hair restoration field, like Dr. DiStefano, have discovered that PRP can help promote the growth of hair as well as promote tissue regeneration. Because of these positive benefits, Platelet Rich Plasma is used during hair restoration procedures to activate hair growth and improve skin and hair health. Hair follicles require oxygen to grow and survive therefore the introduction of Platelet Rich Plasma, which is rich in these elements, during a hair restoration procedure can help patients achieve the hair growth goals they want.

The process of adding PRP during a hair restoration procedure can be performed by an experienced clinician. The clinician will take a sample of blood from the patient and separate this sample to create blood that has a much higher concentration of PRP. This modified blood is still completely natural and will then be injected in the areas where the hair restoration procedure is targeted.

Patients can rest assured that the Platelet Rich Plasma procedures are non-invasive. When performed by an educated and professional clinician, this process can help with healing and the success of a hair restoration procedure as well as promote growth, lessen scarring and countless other benefits. Some patients who underwent a hair loss restoration procedure which utilized PRP reported that their hair felt thicker and fuller after the procedure than they expected.

Dr. DiStefano offers Platelet Rich Plasma services along with his hair restoration procedures. Patients who are considering this treatment should ensure they take time to talk to their doctor or clinician to ask all the questions they have about the process so they will feel comfortable every step of the way.
