We shed hair every day — but if your hair loses volume and shine or your scalp becomes more visible, this could be a sign of more serious hair loss. Whether you’re noticing thinning strands or dealing with significant hair loss, the good news is effective hair loss treatments are available in Lafayette!
One option is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. This advanced, non-surgical treatment uses your body’s natural healing abilities to improve hair growth, creating healthier, thicker hair. Are PRP hair restoration treatments from The Aesthetic Medicine & Anti-Aging Clinics of Louisiana the right solution for you? Learn how this treatment can help restore and revive your hair.
What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
Plasma makes up about 55% of your blood. This liquid part of your blood is responsible for transporting nutrients and hormones throughout your body. Plasma is also rich in platelets and growth factors that help heal and renew cells.
PRP hair restoration is a natural treatment made from your own plasma. When plasma is separated from your blood and these platelets are concentrated into a serum, they work to stimulate regeneration in specific areas — like your scalp. This can promote healthier, stronger hair growth.
PRP therapy has been used in medical fields, such as orthopedics and wound healing. Now, its application in hair loss treatments is revolutionizing how we approach thinning hair, creating new opportunities for effective results.
How Does PRP Help With Hair Growth?
Hair follicles need nutrients from good blood flow to stay healthy and grow. By injecting PRP directly into the scalp, it helps nourish your hair and support growth where you need it most.
Benefits of PRP hair loss treatments include:
- Stimulating Hair Growth: PRP wakes dormant hair follicles, boosting their activity and encouraging new growth.
- Improving Hair Thickness: PRP strengthens individual hair strands over time, leading to visibly thicker and healthier hair.
- Enhancing Blood Supply: Improved circulation nourishes hair follicles, supporting their health and function.
Results are typically noticeable within a few months as your body begins rebuilding and regenerating around the treated areas. For many patients, repeat sessions every four to six months help maintain lasting improvement.
How We Perform PRP Hair Loss Treatments in Lafayette
PRP hair restoration treatments are an exciting tool for both men and women facing hair loss. This hair treatment works wonderfully as a standalone therapy or as a complementary option to other services like our Hydrafacial Keravive Scalp treatment, which exfoliates and hydrates the scalp for optimized hair health. Here’s what you can expect from your treatment.
The Process
We start by extracting PRP in-office:
- We draw a small amount of your blood, typically from your arm.
- Next, we place your blood into a centrifuge, a machine that spins rapidly. This separates the PRP from other components in your blood.
- The resulting PRP serum is collected and used for your treatment.
After collecting the PRP serum, we carefully inject it into specific areas of your scalp to nourish your hair follicles and promote growth. The procedure is precise, quick, and takes about one to two hours. And since the PRP serum comes from your own body, there’s less risk of complications after treatment.
Possible Side Effects of PRP Therapy
While PRP is considered safe, there are minor side effects to consider. Common reactions include:
- Temporary swelling or redness at the injection site.
- Itching or mild discomfort.
- Headache on the day of treatment.
These symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Our team will work closely with you to address any concerns and make sure you’re comfortable.
