PRP is a substance drawn from your blood and injected into your scalp that can purportedly help heal bodily tissues, including follicles from which your hairs grow.
The rejuvenating power of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help to restore a fuller, thicker head of hair without drugs or surgery. All it takes is the healing power of your very own body! PRP is a concentrated portion of your own blood containing potent growth factors and healing properties, which help stimulate new hair growth and strengthen existing follicles.
Not only is the product heralded as a revolutionary way to stimulate and restore hair growth, but it is also one of the safest cosmetic hair growth options on the market today.
Anyone experiencing hair loss is essentially a good candidate for PRP treatments, but those with early hair loss tend to respond best.
* If you have an underlying disorder such as thyroid disease or lupus, you aren’t likely to have good results because these conditions will continue to cause hair loss over time.
* If you are on blood thinners, your platelets won’t work as effectively and the procedure is not as effective.
Worked all weekend, seeing patients, ordering supplements, charting… but my favorite part was doing PRP microneedling for hair regrowth and restoration. Androgenic alopecia is the most common type of hair loss with up to 80% of males and 40% of women developing this as aging occurs.
I drew this patient’s blood, spun it down, then extracted the PRP (platelet rich plasma).
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure in which several small needles make microperforations in the skin. It is also know as collagen induction synthesis.
Microneedling is used for acne, scarring and skin/rejuvenation, along with hair restoration. It can be done with growth factors or PRP. Vampire facials, popularized by Kim Kardashian, are very trendy these days.
I myself have started facial microneedling and love the results. Synergistiq is proud to offer these services. Aesthetiqs by Synergistiq.
