Hair Loss

Many people suffer from hair loss. By age 60, over half of men and half of women experience this. Causes of hair loss are numerous such as hereditary, autoimmune, illness, cancer therapy, anemia, thyroid disease, birth, menopause, stress, inadequate diet, and hair regimens.

PRP: Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy

​

PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma is a procedure where your blood is drawn (autologous), spun in a centrifuge, and plasma and platelets are extracted and then injected intradermally to stimulate hair growth. When injected the platelets release granules resulting in decrease inflammation, awaken follicles, prolonged hair growth phase, increase blood flow to follicles, increase terminal hair (thick/strong), and slows follicle death. Studies have shown that this treatment clinically improves the number of hairs in treatment area as well as, hair density. (3)
