PRP for hair loss is one of the most sought after procedures in our clinic by patients who begin to show hair loss, mainly related to a genetic problem and advancing age. Unlike other procedures, this can be considered as a preventive method.
Unlike the hair transplant that is already used when there is a hair loss, the PRP for hair loss will help you to strengthen your hair from the follicles. However, it is necessary that you go on different occasions to obtain the best results, as these increase with each session.
In order for you to learn more about a treatment such as PRP for hair loss, we will first talk about how the procedure is carried out and, later, about its effectiveness in patients who begin to show signs of baldness. At the end, we will also tell you how you can get this treatment at a better cost than in clinics in your city
PRP Hair Treatment
PRP hair treatment consists of a very simple procedure that will not take more than 30 minutes; so you can take it by appointment at our clinic. With the intention that you know better how it is carried out, we will tell you in 3 steps how we do it at Cancun Hair Restoration and so you know how it will be once you arrive with us.
- Blood extraction: The first thing we have to do is extract a little of your blood to be able to carry out the treatment with plasma-rich platelets. Once we have taken enough for your PRP for hair loss we will place it in a machine to centrifuge and separate the fluids.
- Platelet centrifugation: The centrifugation process of the blood to be extracted lasts approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Once finished, it will be possible for the doctor to separate the plasma with low platelets, the blood cells and the plasma rich in platelets.
3. Obtaining the PRP for hair loss: Once the plasma has been separated, the doctor in charge will extract the plasma-rich platelets that will be placed at strategic points on the scalp. In this case, it will be at the points where the hair is thinner and where there is greater hair loss.
PRP Treatment and the results
It is important to mention at this point that a procedure like PRP for hair loss doesn’t show immediate results. It is necessary that you take between 3 and 4 monthly sessions so that the changes are more noticeable after a couple of weeks after the last treatment session.
It will be the medical team of the clinic who will tell you how many sessions you will need to obtain better results and this will depend on the progress of baldness you have. The PRP for hair loss offers better results the more constantly you go to our clinic to receive the treatment.
This will also depend on the age of the patient, the amount of hormones and different genetic issues that also affect hair loss. Before you enter your first PRP session for hair loss, the medical team will review you to determine how many sessions you will need to get results.
The effectiveness of PRP for Hair Loss
Although many studies are still being carried out regarding the effectiveness of a treatment with PRP, not only for hair loss, but also for the treatment of joints and motor problems that patients with arthritis may have, many still do not consider that there is a lot of study about it.
However, the few works that have been carried out have proven to be effective and the cases that we have had in our clinic prove that it is a treatment that can offer great results. In one of the 20 most recent studies, carried out on different people with different levels of baldness, PRP for hair loss showed very good results.
The patients were divided into groups of between 30, 40, 50 and up to 80 patients; most of them received 3 injection sessions and only a couple of groups had 4 and 5 sessions. In all cases, after 3 months they began to notice a change in the strength of the hair; and at 6 months, they began to show significant hair growth.
A treatment to combat baldness such as PRP for hair loss is much cheaper than a hair transplant and offers incredible results for a relatively long time. It can definitely be a procedure that you can access at a clinic specialized in hair restoration with CHR.
