At AHIS, we take a personalized approach to hair restoration with PRP therapy, focusing on comfort, safety, and effective results. Here’s an overview of our PRP treatment process:
1. Consultation and Assessment
Your PRP journey starts with a comprehensive consultation. Our specialists assess your hair loss concerns, analyze the pattern and severity of hair thinning, and consider any health or lifestyle factors that could contribute to your condition.
- Hair Loss Evaluation: A detailed scalp examination helps identify the specific type and extent of hair loss. Diagnostic tools may be used to further understand your hair condition.
- Determining Treatment Suitability: Based on your evaluation, our team will determine if PRP therapy is the best option for you, considering factors like the cause of hair loss and your overall health.
- Preparation for PRP: Once PRP therapy is deemed suitable, we’ll provide you with specific pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best possible results
2. The PRP Treatment Procedure
Our PRP procedure is designed to deliver maximum results with minimal discomfort.
- Blood Draw and PRP Preparation: A small blood sample is taken from your arm and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and growth factors, creating a concentrated PRP solution.
- PRP Injections: The PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp using a fine needle. We strategically inject PRP across the scalp to ensure optimal stimulation of hair follicles. A topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
3. Post-Treatment Care and Recovery
After your PRP session, mild redness or swelling may occur at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary, typically subsiding within a day or two.
- Aftercare Tips: Avoid intense activities, hot showers, and saunas for 24-48 hours to allow the scalp to heal. Cleanse the area with a mild, sulfate-free shampoo as recommended.
- Protective Measures: Cold compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers can ease any discomfort, and we advise avoiding direct sun exposure on the treated area.
4.Expected Results and Follow-Up
Results from PRP are gradual, as hair follicles need time to respond to treatment. Most patients begin to see improvements in hair density and thickness within 3-4 months. Studies show that PRP can improve hair density by 30-40% with regular treatments.
- Maintenance Treatments: To maintain results, follow-up treatments every 4-6 months are often recommended. During these visits, our specialists will assess your progress and adjust the plan as needed.
5.Safety and Side Effects
PRP is a safe, minimally invasive treatment with low risks. Most side effects are mild, such as slight tenderness or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve quickly.
- Eligibility Considerations: Certain medical conditions may prevent some individuals from being ideal candidates for PRP. Our team will review your medical history to ensure PRP is safe for you.
6.Lifestyle and Hair Care Recommendations
We also provide guidance on lifestyle and hair care to enhance the effects of PRP:
- Hair Care Routine: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners and avoid harsh styling products to promote healthy hair growth.
- Healthy Habits: A balanced diet rich in vitamins, proper hydration, stress management, and good sleep are essential for supporting long-term hair health.
With the team at AHIS guiding you through every step, PRP therapy offers a natural, effective way to rejuvenate your hair and restore confidence.
