Regain Your Confidence with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Hair Loss Treatment in Maple Ridge

Midtown Skin Studio is proud to offer a new, cutting-edge treatment that harnesses the body’s own natural growth properties to stimulate hair production called PRP.

Our methodology involves extracting platelet rich plasma (PRP) right from the patient’s blood for reinjection into the scalp. Drawing platelet rich plasma from the patient’s own blood and then reinjecting it into the scalp is a method of promoting hair growth that harnesses the body’s own natural cells to counteract the hair loss process.

The Science behind PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

The human body is equipped with a complex system for repairing injuries and replacing old and dying tissue. Our blood contains stem cells that can develop into connective tissues as needed, as well as essential and specific growth factors that promote growth, regeneration, and healing. The idea of using PRP to treat hair loss is that the growth-stimulating properties of the plasma may be able to induce activity in previously inactive hair follicles, jump-starting the body’s natural methodology of producing hair. Although the use of PRP in treating hair loss is a relatively recent development, PRP therapies have been used for decades in addressing skin regeneration and wound healing.

PRP hair treatment is a simple, cost-effective treatment option for both men and women suffering from hair loss. If you are experiencing thinning hair, now is the time to consider PRP hair loss treatment to help restore your hair and gain your confidence back.

State of the Art System for Hair Loss Treatment

We use the Regen Lab System, which is acknowledged as the best PRP system today because of its superior success rate. The Regen Lab System offers the highest possible concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly to the scalp, which is vital to harnessing your body’s regenerative power and stimulating the natural process of fighting hair loss.

This state of the art technology creates the highest concentrations of PRP available when compared to other methods. The system is used with a successful non-surgical process for hair restoration. It is proprietary technology with a precise platelet sensor and automation that delivers high yield PRP consistency. The results? You get powerful concentrated natural proteins that trigger your body to produce new hair.

Unlike the Regen Lab System, PRP treatments using needle gun devices give low-yield PRP concentrations and inconsistent results. Because traditional PRP injection techniques are delivered through gun injections, the penetration does not reach deep enough levels. As a result, the hair shaft, as well as the supporting tissues responsible for hair growth are not properly stimulated. For a hair restoration procedure to be successful and achieve optimal results, the PRP must be delivered deep enough into the skin with precision.

The Regen Lab System guarantees at least three times the PRP concentration that the majority of PRP systems in the market produce. Although the response to PRP treatments varies from patient to patient, our system typically produces the best possible outcome under any normal circumstance.

FAQs

What is PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP hair treatment is a safe, non-invasive treatment using your blood. PRP platelet-rich plasma, is a regenerative cell-based therapy that uses one’s platelets (the cells in your blood) to promote hair regrowth. The use of PRP therapy has grown in popularity due to its efficacy and very few adverse reactions. Many studies have shown the use of PRP injections for androgenetic alopecia hair loss to be positive and beneficial.

PRP treatments are a successful way to address hair thinning or baldness, especially in cases of androgenetic alopecia. It is also able to be used to help people who are losing their hair due to other reasons, such as stress, changes in hormones, or illnesses.

PRP utilizes the growth factors in platelets to stimulate the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth, as well as sustain the active phase of the hair cycle.

How Does the Process Work?

When you undergo PRP therapy for hair loss, the first step will be drawing some of your blood, typically from the arm, just as would normally be done by your primary care physician to perform blood tests.

The blood is then processed in a sterile centrifuge, a rapidly spinning piece of machinery that separates the blood into its different components, one of which will be platelet rich plasma. The specialist will most likely administer some sort of local numbing medication to your scalp in order to minimize discomfort, before reinjecting the PRP into the scalp.

How Long Does PRP Hair Loss Treatment Take?

The entire process takes roughly 60-90 minutes, and any discomfort experienced is minimal. Because PRP therapy is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment, no scarring will occur, and you will be able to drive yourself home immediately after the procedure.

Results typically begin to become visible roughly 3 to 6 months after the initial treatment, and it is generally recommended to undergo subsequent treatments every 3 to 4 months to maximize results.

Does PRP Really Work?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a proven method for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Hair Loss patients have benefited with this in-clinic PRP for hair loss therapy. Androgenic alopecia, also known as Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL) and Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) are common, chronic hair loss disorder affecting both men and women. Androgenic alopecia is characterized by progressive hair loss and affects up to 80% of men and 40% of women.

Clinics began using PRP in dermatology after researchers found that high concentrations of platelets in plasma cells can promote hair growth by prolonging the growing phase of the hair cycle. In the PRP hair treatment procedure, your blood is harvested and spun in a centrifuge machine to separate out the platelets and plasma. Using a micro needling device, the hair loss area is applied with the plasma and massaged into the scalp. The tiny holes created with the micro needling device easily absorbs the serum into the skin. It usually takes 3 to 6 months to see a visible improvement to your hair loss after the initial treatment. Over time, most clients, both male and female, can expect to see a 25% to 40% increase in hair that they have lost. PRP for hair loss works best if your alopecia occurred within 5 years or less. It is more challenging to wake up hair follicles that have been dormant for more than 5 years.

Am I a Good Candidate for PRP Hair Loss Treatment?

Both men and women suffering from androgenic alopecia can be good candidates for PRP injection. It is a very safe procedure and effective therapy for hair loss. However, if you have underlying health issues, such as lupus or thyroid disease, then PRP is not recommended. Patients taking blood thinners should also avoid PRP.

Is the PRP Hair Loss Treatment Painful?

PRP Hair Loss Treatment is not painful. The initial blood work may be unpleasant to some, but the PRP treatment is applied topically using a micro needling device and massaged into the scalp. There is no down time post treatment, and you can return to your daily activities immediately following treatment. The whole procedure takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes for the blood work, centrifugation, and micro needling.
