PRP for Hair Loss

The body’s ability to repair itself is nothing short of amazing! Biological mechanisms at the cellular level carry out instructions transmitted between cells to repair damaged tissue. A key element in this process is growth factors. But what’s a growth factor and what role does it play in hair loss?

Growth factors are naturally occurring substances capable of stimulating cellular growth and typically act as signaling molecules between cells. The ability of a cell to receive and respond to instruction is the crux to tissue repair and a stable interdependence within this biological process. Coexisting among our red blood cells are plasma platelets, and plasma is a carrier of growth factors.

When spun at high velocity within a centrifuge, a rich concentration of plasma is isolated from red blood cells creating Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). A ground breaking medical treatment, PRP Therapy assists in tissue regeneration and healing. Administered to an afflicted area, PRP naturally promotes long lasting healing of musculoskeletal conditions.

PRP Therapy for hair restoration is an exciting, non-surgical therapeutic option for those living with hair loss. Injected into the scalp, PRP keeps hairs already growing and stimulates stem cells surrounding the follicles to get thicker, reversing miniaturization.

The primary purpose of PRP therapy in conjunction with a hair transplant procedure is to stimulate inactive or newly implanted follicles into an active growth phase. Following a robotic hair transplant, PRP therapy can speed recovery time and the patient sees their results faster.

At Hair By Robotics, we strive to provide our patients with a golden standard of Hair Restoration products. As such we’re happy to introduce Eclipse PRP Therapy, now available at all Hair By Robotics locations. Unlike other PRP Therapy applications, ours is specifically designed for patients suffering with hair loss. Great for pre and post transplant procedures, patients can also try it as a non-surgical alternative before committing to a robotic hair transplant.

Remember, PRP Therapy—like all other non-surgical treatments—will only aid existing hair follicles; it will not be able to recover hair you have already lost.

Advantages of our Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy:

• FDA cleared 510(k) Class II medical device
• Convenient procedure; takes less than 30 minutes
• Small volume of patient blood required; better patient tolerance
• Consistent platelet concentration; allowing for predictable performance
• Pure PRP; able to remove 97.8% contaminating red blood cells
• No foreign components; eliminates the risk of adverse reactions

3. Vial is Halfway empty
4. Weighing Vial of Whole Blood
5. Setting Counter Weight
6. Spinning of Whole Blood in Centrifuge
7. Remove Plasma from Spun Blood
8. Injection of Plasma into recipients Area

Hair Restoration Surgery with Natural Integrative Solutions

With any surgery the body responds as if responding to trauma, hair restoration surgery is no exception. It’n not uncommon to experience a significant loss of hair during the year following hair restoration surgery, However, integrating natural solutions such as PRP and LPT in conjunction with hair restoration surgery can greatly increase its outcome.

Clinical studies have examined the use of PRP in conjunction with hair transplants. Due to the healing, restorative properties of PRP, it was noted that areas implanted with PRP enriched grafts yielded a larger follicular density post-surgery. (1)One particular study yielded a wide range of results from a mere 3% of increased follicular density all the way up to 52%. (2) Using an optimal Laser Phototherapy (LPT) device—such as the Theradome LH80 PRO—before and after a hair transplant can also result in stronger hair follicles with a higher probability of surviving the operation.

LPT induces the release of nitric oxide, which improves blood flow to hair roots and increases the reduction rate of swelling, redness and inflammation after a procedure. (3),(4),(5) Both PRP and LPT allow a significant amount of extra hair grafts to survive the surgery and grow into healthy, terminal hairs, improving the satisfaction of patients with a low cost-to benefit ratio.

Peer-reviewed medical journals have proven that PRP and LPT benefit hair restoration in the following ways:

Platelet-Rich Plasma injections and Laser Phototherapy are both clinically effective, powerful tools for fighting hair loss; they are proven to increase hair density, minimize shedding and promote new hair growth by using natural medical alternatives that cause no harm to human health. They can be used in conjunction with popular hair transplants and mainstream hair loss medication.

Degrees of success using a combination of these therapies will vary with treatment length and the exact mechanism of action followed, such as LPT session frequency and the number of PRP injections during a course of treatment. By combining the healing, regenerative capabilities of PRP with the photobiostimulation of hair follicles achieved by laser light, this optimum “PRP-LPT hair restoration treatment” is well on its way to becoming the most powerful and effective tool today for fighting hair loss.
