What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Finding bald spots on your scalp or realizing that your hair is thinning can be pretty frustrating for anyone. It may seem as if there is no treatment. However, at Clinic 45, we offer PRP hair restoration services to help give you back the full head of hair you once had.

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, utilizes your own platelet-rich blood cells, and the growth factors within it, to help hair grow back. There are concentrated platelets in platelet-rich plasma. These platelets contain bioactive proteins, which contain growth factors and signaling proteins that can help to initiate and accelerate new hair growth.

This innovative treatment has become extremely popular over the past few years as you can regrow your hair without needing surgery. The process is simple. First, we will collect a small amount of your blood. Then, we will enrich the platelets. Next, we will extract the platelet-rich plasma and inject it into the areas of hair loss. The enriched plasma will promote the bio-stimulation of your scalp, which will help to regrow your hair and thicken existing hair.

PRP technology was initially developed 20 years ago for heart surgery. Originally, this technology was developed to help aid wound healing and blood loss. Now, PRP technology is used for so much more. It helps with the facilitation of healing muscles, tendons, ligaments, and so much more. PRP also is used to help treat a wide range of soft tissue injuries such as tendonitis, muscle sprains and tears, and various types of ligament injuries.
