PRP Hair Rejuvenation
HELPING YOU LIVE LIFE MORE BEAUTIFULLYHeadingA revolutionary treatment for hair loss has finally arrived: PRP hair rejuvenation. This hair-restoration treatment uses platelet-rich plasma therapy to nourish the hair follicles, boosting growth. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Quenby Erickson is a top provider of PRP hair rejuvenation in Chicago and is proud to offer this cutting-edge hair regrowth treatment to men and women who are suffering from hair loss and thinning.
What Is PRP Hair Rejuvenation?
PRP is a completely non-surgical method of hair restoration. It utilizes your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, known as PRP for short, to naturally stimulate hair growth. PRP contains various growth factors that have been proven to improve existing hair growth and stimulate growth of new hair. It also works to enhance hair health, texture, and overall strength.
Good Candidates for PRP Hair Rejuvenation
PRP hair restoration is an excellent procedure for patients who are experiencing hair thinning and bald patches. This cosmetic treatment is ideal for strengthening, growing, and thickening hair follicles that are still functioning. This treatment is not effective for those who are completely bald, as there are no viable hair follicles to restore in such cases.
What Happens During PRP Hair Rejuvenation?
Dr. Erickson performs PRP hair rejuvenation treatments at her prestigious downtown Chicago medical practice. To begin, PRP is created using the patient’s own blood. This process starts with blood being drawn from the patient’s arm.
The blood sample is then placed into a centrifuge. This will spin the blood to separate the platelets and plasma from the red blood cells.
Next, the plasma and platelets will be combined and loaded into a syringe. The PRP will then be injected into the scalp in thinning areas.
After Your PRP Hair Rejuvenation Session
After undergoing a PRP hair-regrowth treatment, you can resume your normal activities. There is no recovery time needed after the procedure.
You can wash the treatment sites as normal. It’s highly recommended that you don’t use hair products like gels or sprays for three days following your treatment. Additionally, you’ll want to avoid any hair coloring or perming for at least three days, as these harsh chemicals can irritate the injection sites.
Most patients will report improvements in their hair thickness and texture within two months of treatment. Decreased shedding is often the first sign that the treatment is beginning to work.
To get the full effect of PRP hair restoration, it will typically take between three and six months from the time of your initial treatment. You may need to undergo multiple PRP treatments spaced around four weeks apart.
How Much Does PRP Hair Rejuvenation Cost?
The overall price of PRP hair rejuvenation may be impacted by the size of the treatment site that you are having addressed. The number of treatment sessions that you undergo can also affect cost. Dr. Erickson will design a PRP hair rejuvenation treatment protocol specifically for you during your consultation and will review the associated cost with you at that time.
