Losing your hair is never a pleasant experience. Even those of us who decide to “age gracefully” by doing nothing about thinning or receding hair can’t always be so lucky. What nature gives you isn’t always what you planned for, but when that happens, you have options. Here, we’ll look at hair restoration treatment in New York using one of today’s hottest scientific advances – platelet-rich plasma therapy.
How Does It Work?
Have you heard of the increasingly-popular “vampire facial” that is taking Hollywood by storm? The concept of platelet-rich plasma therapy is very similar to the technique used in that treatment.
In PRP therapy, blood is drawn from the patient’s own body in a sterile environment. That blood is then run through a machine that separates the plasma from the rest of the blood. This plasma contains regenerative properties that occur naturally in the body – think of how your body heals cuts, scrapes, wounds, etc. Using that natural healing power, the plasma is then injected into areas where hair is thinning to restore the health of the hair follicle, thus allowing the hair to begin growing again after having been in a “dormant growth phase”.
Now, that may sound very cool and perhaps a little intimidating – but is it safe? Rest assured; doctors have found virtually no risk to undergoing the procedure, save for those that are inherent to injections and blood withdrawal.
