Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair restoration therapy specialists of Healthy Aging Medical Centers specialize in using PRP to help men and women naturally restore thicker, fuller hair in Morris County and Monmouth County, New Jersey.

As we age, our hair follicles tire, and the resulting hair loss can be emotionally difficult, causing our confidence to grow thin along with our hair. Luckily, revolutionary advances in modern hair restoration techniques have provided a healthy, functional scalp stimulation and hair follicle reactivation with the help of the patient’s own PRP (platelet-rich plasma).

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a revolutionary non-surgical therapy for natural hair follicle stimulation which may help to maintain hair density, treat thinning hair and correct male pattern baldness naturally. PRP hair restoration involves drawing a patient’s blood and processing the blood so that only the enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma) remain. Platelet-rich plasma cells are injected into the scalp. The platelet-rich plasma contains essential proteins and your own body’s natural growth factors which stimulate hair growth. PRP injections can be effective in treating both men and women, both in preventing hair loss and promoting new hair growth.

PRP for Hair Restoration Frequently Asked Questions

Every person is unique, and every situation is different. While many people who complete their follow up appointments begin to see results as early as 2-3 months after their initial injection, another person may take more or less time.

Periodic treatments are highly recommended in order to maintain the health of the scalp and to promote long-lasting and highly satisfactory results.

As with many natural, functional remedies, the effects of PRP therapies are largely dependent on your own body. A number of factors can influence the effects of your procedure: any medications, the severity of hair loss, each person’s immune wellness and ability to heal.

Some people may go for maintenance every 3 to 4 months, others may only need once a year. Luckily, there are things you can do to help produce better results like observing good nutrition and exercise habits and taking good care of your luscious new locks.

Platelet-Rich Plasma injections are a healthy and natural remedy, so generally treating your body as you would if it were healing from an injury would be a best practice.

Staying hydrated and rested, eating healthily, and keeping your scalp clean while avoiding dyeing or bleaching your hair, tobacco and alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications are a great way to get started.

This will depend on each individual’s personal reaction to the PRP injection and the location and severeness of their hair loss. A typical treatment plan will involve scheduling several periodic injections in the first few months, and then one yearly once the scalp and hair follicles are healthy and stimulated.

Yes. Platelet Rich Plasma injections are safe and natural therapy for healing the body. The procedure uses your own locally sourced body growth factors to stimulate blood flow and healing in an area that just needs a boost. Your platelets will be pulled and injected on the same day, so they are as biologically true to you as possible.

Anyone can be a good candidate for PRP, although it is not recommended for anyone on blood-thinning medication, with signs or symptoms of infection, or heavy smokers, as these can disrupt the healing process.

Platelet rich plasma therapy is ideal for anyone who has hair transplants or has only recently started experiencing hair loss.

Treating Hair Loss in Men With PRP

In men, male pattern baldness can rear its head as early as the age of 19 years old, while some men may not notice hair loss until their 40’s or 50’s. Often, men experience hair loss due to genetic factors or because they have higher levels of dihydrotestosterone, which is a form of testosterone that kills hair follicles. Alopecia may start with a receding hairline, or spots of hair may start to go missing. Some of the other reasons that alopecia can occur in men include:

  • Aging
  • Testosterone imbalances
  • Medications
  • Over exertion
  • Genetic factors

Despite the reason for hair loss, using Platelet Rich Plasma can stimulate hair regrowth, or it can slow down the rate of hair loss. This therapy works by injecting the patient’s blood into the scalp to stimulate the healing of tissues, such as hair follicles. When hair follicles are restored, men may experience the regrowth of their hair. Hair restoration specialists of Healthy Aging Medical Centers will guide men through the process of hair restoration with platelet-rich plasma or a combination of PRP and other therapies.

Treating Hair Loss in Women with PRP

Many women also commonly suffer with alopecia, and in women, hair starts getting thinner at around the age of 35, which is close to the age of perimenopause. In women, as hormones begin to decline, hair may become drier, leading to hair loss. Other women may notice hair loss after pregnancy, as their hormones are rebounding and restructuring back to normal levels. Some of the reasons that alopecia can occur in women include:

  • Estrogen and progesterone imbalances
  • Hormonal decline
  • Childbirth
  • Hypothyroid
  • Hashimoto’s
  • Cushing’s disease
  • Medications

While hair loss can be difficult for men to experience, women may be even more devastated when their luscious locks of hair begin to thin out. Luckily, platelet-rich plasma can promote hair growth and restore hair thickness. PRP hair restoration specialists of Healthy Aging Medical Center will use components of the patient’s platelets, which are amplified with growth factors, and insert them in the areas of the scalp that are thinning out or all over the scalp. Many women have been able to eliminate balding spots or stimulate the growth of an overall fuller head of hair with platelet-rich plasma therapy.

Healthy Aging Medical Centers PRP Treatment Approach

Even though this cutting- edge PRP treatment is new, platelet-rich plasma has been used for many years to regenerate and heal tissue in the joints and spine. Now, Healthy Aging Medical Centers in New Jersey are using the benefits of platelet-rich plasma to help women and men improve their aesthetic appearances.

Before getting started with platelet-rich plasma therapy, New Jersey hair restoration therapy specialists of Healthy Aging Medical Centers will perform a full medical intake and discuss the patients’ medical history, lifestyle habits, and treatment goals. Then collaboratively with the patient, they will design a treatment plan that includes the use of platelet-rich plasma and potentially other therapies to help patients achieve their goals. Countless New Jersey men and women have been able to enjoy thicker, more evenly distributed hair with the help of platelet-rich plasma for alopecia therapy.

Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Restoration Procedure

Blood is collected from the patient and placed in a container. The container is then put into a centrifuge where it is rotated rapidly to separate blood components. The platelets separate from other blood components. Platelets are prepared for topical application and injection into the scalp. Local anesthesia is injected around the area to make the process as painless as possible.

Treatments are scheduled about one to two months apart, and three to four treatments are recommended with follow-up treatments at six months to one year. Some improvement (in reversing miniaturization) can be expected in the first two to three months. The treatments must be continued periodically to maintain any improvement.
