Thinning hair affects nearly everyone during the aging process, and approximately 80 million people in the United States struggle with hair loss.
Many people lose up to 100 hair strands every day, which is part of the hair’s normal growth cycle. But when you lose more than this, thinning may occur. The good news? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a noninvasive solution that can help you.
See Lucia Cagnes, MD, FACOG, at All Cape Gynecology & Sorgente Medspa in Hyannis, Massachusetts, to take advantage of all-natural PRP and restore thinning hair.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) consists of healing growth factors sourced from your blood that help stimulate hair follicles to encourage hair regrowth — without surgery or harsh chemicals.
PRP works with your body, not against it, to restore what aging, stress, or genetics may have thinned.
The main benefit of using PRP for thinning hair is a fuller, thicker, and healthier head of hair. PRP is entirely safe, as it utilizes parts of your own blood as a long-lasting, natural solution for hair thickening without side effects.
PRP can also slow or prevent future hair loss. It possesses 5-10 times as many platelets as a sample of your whole blood.
Dr. Cagnes reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and examines your scalp to learn if PRP is the right treatment for you. She tailors a personalized hair restoration plan and lets you know what to expect.
Dr. Cagnes takes a sample of your blood, uses a centrifuge to spin and separate the plasma, and injects PRP into your scalp to stimulate new hair growth.
Another way to infuse hair-restoring PRP is to apply it to your scalp during a microneedling procedure. During this treatment, tiny needles make microtears to speed up new cell production, enhancing PRP’s effects on hair follicles.
PRP procedures typically last about an hour, but this depends on whether you receive PRP scalp injections or microneedling with PRP.
Though results vary from person to person, you may notice the initial effects of PRP after several weeks or months. You’ll likely need more than one PRP treatment to experience the best result. All Cape Gynecology & Sorgente Medspa will advise you on the number of sessions you should expect.
If you’re looking for additional ways to boost hair health, ask Dr. Cagnes about dietary changes, stress-reduction techniques, dietary supplements, and other all-natural solutions.
Hair restoration isn’t the only use for PRP. All Cape Gynecology & Sorgente Medspa offers a variety of revitalizing treatments, including PRP facial rejuvenation, PRP facials, and O-Shot®, a vaginal revitalization, which enhances sexual sensation and function. It may also decrease urinary incontinence.
