Hair loss or hair thinning is an unfortunate and common side effect of medications, certain medical conditions, and aging. While OTC topical products, shampoos and prescription medications are available to assist in hair stimulation, Hair PRP is one technique that uses the body’s valuable Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to help heal itself.
PRP has several medical and cosmetic uses. And when it comes to hair growth, VITAHL has seen efficacy in women and men with pattern hair loss and a healthy supply of platelets in their blood. PRP injections into the scalp trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft.
Starting Hair PRP treatments early in the hair loss will get you the best results. VITAHL recommends four treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 4-6 months.
The three-step treatment where the patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and injected into the scalp. Blood is drawn from the arm and then placed into a centrifuge machine that spins the fluid rapidly. After just a few minutes, the blood is separated, and the platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe. The injections go into the scalp where hair growth is most needed.
The body’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has several medical and cosmetic uses. VITAHL uses PRP on the face and under the eye area to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Delivered by minimally invasive injections or a micro needling device, PRP stimulates new collagen production, tighten loose skin and result in a younger-looking appearance. Texture, tone, scarring and hyperpigmentation can also improve thanks to injectable PRP.
The results can last for 6-9 months. In the past dermal fillers were one of the gold standards of treatment, but today the use of PRP has proven to be a safe and effective treatment that promotes cell repair and stimulates collagen and elastic production.
The three-step treatment where the patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and injected into the face with a syringe or microneedles, depending on the treatment location. Blood is drawn from the arm and then placed into a centrifuge machine that spins the fluid rapidly. After just a few minutes, the blood is separated, and the platelet-rich plasma is extracted for use.
Depending on your VITAHL treatment plan, PRP can be used alone or with other treatments like micro needling and the Vampire Facial.
Mild bruising, some swelling and redness might occur and will heal quickly, but best to schedule an appointment when you have some downtime. Optimal results occur after a series of six treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.
