If you're in the Windermere area and curious about PRP for hair loss, schedule a consultation with us to discover if this groundbreaking treatment is right for you.

What is PRP Hair Restoration? 

PRP hair restoration is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body's own growth factors to stimulate hair follicles and promote natural hair growth. This procedure is not a hair transplant or a quick fix - it's a method of rejuvenating your existing hair follicles to produce thicker, healthier hair.

How it works

PRP hair restoration is a three-step process performed right here in our Windermere clinic:

Step 1 - Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.

Step 2 - Processing: Your blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.

Step 3 - Injection: The concentrated PRP is carefully injected into specific areas of your scalp where hair growth is needed.

This outpatient procedure typically takes about an hour, and you can return to your normal activities immediately afterward. For optimal results, we usually recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 months.

The Science Behind PRP Hair Restoration

PRP contains a high concentration of growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, and VEGF. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors stimulate cell proliferation, activate dormant hair follicles, and enhance the hair growth cycle. This process can lead to increased hair density and thickness, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).

Who Are the Best Candidates for PRP Hair Restoration?

PRP hair restoration can be effective for both men and women experiencing various types of hair loss. Ideal candidates typically:

• Are in the early stages of hair loss

• Have areas of "weak quality" hair growth on the scalp

• Are in good overall health

• Have realistic expectations about the results

PRP is particularly effective for people with androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. It may also benefit those with other types of alopecia or general thinning hair. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with:

• Heavy smoking habits

• Alcohol or drug abuse

• Certain blood disorders

• Skin diseases or cancer in the treatment area

• Platelet dysfunction syndromes

• Chronic liver disease

• Active infections

During your consultation at Exclusive Med Aesthetics & Hair Restoration, Andrea will assess your individual case and determine if PRP hair restoration is the right choice for you.

Post-Treatment

You can resume normal activities immediately, but should avoid washing your hair for 24 hours.

For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 months.

Recovery and Aftercare

While you can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, or discomfort at the injection sites for a few days. These effects are typically minimal and resolve quickly. We recommend:

• Avoiding washing your hair for 24 hours post-treatment

• Refraining from using harsh hair products for a few days

• Avoiding intense physical activity for 24-48 hours

• Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet to support the treatment's effectiveness

Complementary and Alternative Treatments

At Exclusive Med Aesthetics & Hair Restoration, we offer a comprehensive range of cutting-edge treatments that can complement or serve as alternatives to PRP hair restoration:

PRF - Platelet-Rich Fibrin Injections

EZPRF Platelet-Rich Fibrin is an advanced natural treatment that uses your own blood to promote hair growth. This gel-like substance, rich in growth factors, is injected into the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and enhance blood flow. It's a safe, minimally invasive option that can be repeated every few months for optimal results.

Exosome Injections

We proudly offer the latest in Regenerative Medicine with our Exosome Injections. This innovative treatment helps replace or activate human cells to repair tissues, establishing normal function and optimizing your body's natural hair growth processes.

Microneedling

While often associated with skin treatments, microneedling can also be an effective method for treating hair loss. By triggering a wound-healing response, this process can regenerate hair follicle health and promote new hair growth.

Keravive Scalp Treatment

A healthy scalp is crucial for healthy hair. Our Hydrafacial™ Keravive treatment is designed to cleanse, stimulate, nourish, and hydrate your scalp. This relaxing treatment supports keratin production, enhances microcirculation, and complements other hair restoration methods.

AuraGraft Hair Transplant

For those seeking a more permanent solution, we offer the advanced AuraGraft system. This innovative Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technology meticulously transplants individual hair follicles for natural-looking, long-lasting results.

During your consultation at Exclusive Med Aesthetics & Hair Restoration, Andrea Thayer, MSN, APRN, will discuss these options in detail and help create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific hair restoration needs and goals.

How Much Does PRP Hair Restoration Cost?

The cost of PRP hair restoration at Exclusive Med Aesthetics & Hair Restoration can vary based on the extent of hair loss and the number of treatments recommended. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your specific needs and provide a personalized estimate. We also offer flexible financing options to help make this investment in your appearance more accessible.

Success Rates and Long-Term Effectiveness

Clinical studies have shown promising results for PRP hair restoration, with many patients experiencing noticeable improvements in hair density and thickness. Success rates can vary, but many studies report positive outcomes in 60-70% of patients, particularly those with androgenetic alopecia.

While PRP can provide long-lasting improvements in hair growth, it's not a permanent solution. The effects typically last for 12-18 months, which is why we recommend maintenance treatments every 4-6 months to sustain results. Factors such as age, genetics, and overall health can influence the longevity of the results.

PRP Hair Restoration FAQ

Is PRP hair restoration safe? 

Yes, PRP is generally very safe as it uses your own blood components. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks, which Andrea Thayer will discuss with you during your consultation.

How long does it take to see results from PRP hair restoration? 

Most patients start to notice improvements in hair thickness and density within 3-6 months of starting treatment. Optimal results typically appear after a full course of treatments.

Is PRP hair restoration painful? 

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. We use a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

How long do the results of PRP hair restoration last? 

While PRP can provide long-lasting improvements in hair growth, it's not a permanent solution. We recommend maintenance treatments every 4-6 months to sustain results.

How does PRP compare to other hair loss treatments?

PRP offers several advantages over other treatments. Unlike topical solutions like minoxidil, PRP is injected directly into the scalp, potentially providing more direct stimulation to hair follicles. It's also less invasive than hair transplants and can be used in conjunction with other treatments for enhanced results.

Are there any risks associated with PRP hair restoration?

While PRP is generally very safe, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks. These may include temporary side effects at the injection site such as:

• Mild pain or discomfort

• Swelling

• Bruising

• Itching

Serious complications are extremely rare. During your consultation, Andrea will discuss any potential risks based on your individual health profile.

How should I prepare for my PRP treatment?

• To prepare for your PRP treatment, we recommend:

• Avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements for a few days prior to treatment (with your doctor's approval)

• Refraining from alcohol consumption for at least 3 days before treatment

• Staying well-hydrated

• Eating a nutritious meal before your appointment

• Avoiding harsh chemical treatments on your hair for at least a week before the procedure

Can PRP be combined with other hair loss treatments?

Absolutely! PRP often works well in combination with other treatments. At Exclusive Med Aesthetics & Hair Restoration, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan that may include PRP along with our other hair restoration services like PRF injections, exosome therapy, or AuraGraft hair transplants. This multi-faceted approach can often yield superior results compared to any single treatment alone.
