Platelet Rich Plasma – PRP Hair Restoration Weston, Fort Lauderdale and Miami
Platelet Rich Plasma, commonly referred to as PRP, is the latest non-invasive treatment option for hair restoration. PRP hair therapy is a procedure in which the Platelet Rich Plasma is injected into the scalp to stimulate and reactivate hair follicles in order to promote new hair growth. PRP hair therapy has been clinically proven to increase hair count and hair thickness in many patients due to platelets being rich in growth and healing factors. This treatment is a quick and safe option to promote hair growth and can be
performed at your medical spa in Weston, FL with no downtime. It is recommended to undergo a series of 3-5 treatments spaced one month apart, followed by maintenance treatments performed every 6-9 months.
What should I expect during my visit?
A small amount of blood is obtained from the patient similar to a routine blood test. Once the blood is drawn, it is then placed into a centrifuge device. The centrifuge spins the blood at high speeds in order to separate the blood into red blood cells and concentrated platelets. Once the blood components are separated, the red blood cells are discarded and we are left with concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) that is ready to be used in the treatment process. The highly concentrated PRP is then injected into areas of the scalp that are experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. The scalp injections take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete, but expect
to be in the office for one hour for the entire process. After the PRP has been injected into the scalp, we perform a light scalp massage to help ease any tension and to properly disperse the PRP throughout the scalp. We recommend a hot shower after the treatment and to avoid exercise for 24 hours.
What differentiates our PRP System?
We use a patented, superior technology to ensure the purest and most consistent concentration of Platelet Rich Plasma. The ProGen PRP system is an FDA-cleared safe and effective Class II medical device. Our office is expertly trained and highly qualified to successfully perform treatments under the supervision of Ryan Greene, MD, PhD. The platelet concentration ultimately
impacts how much collagen is produced, and therefore impacts the eventual outcome. Results are optimized due to the precise concentration that is achieved with the ProGen PRP processing of the blood. This is important because a concentration that is too high can lead to adverse effects, while one that is too low will not be as effective in creating new collagen. Consistent platelet concentration leads to predictable performance, as we remove the most contaminating red blood cells and the most inflammatory white blood cells. These could potentially lead to inflammation, vascular injury, and impaired healing if not removed.
