PRP Hair Restoration

PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. Our platelets release numerous growth factors that initiate and promote conditions for healing. We essentially use these healing capabilities of our own body to extract the growth factors from ones plasma to regenerate the hair which causes new hair growth, thicker healthier hair, lengthen the active growth phase of ones hair which reduces the hairs falling out and stimulate new blood vessel growth in area which further strengthens the hair present. This process is utilized in orthopedic specialty to heal injuries in joints and is now used off label for cosmetic purposes.

The cosmetic purposes include boosting results from treatments like microneedling and Halo to stimulate rapid repair and collagen growth … think of it as adding fertilizer to your aerated lawn … and now for Hair Restoration!!

This is a very exciting new treatment for a concern that plagues many. We use the Eclipse system which has one of the highest volumes of PRP yield and gives us the purest PRP possible by washing out majority of the red blood cells.
