What is PRR Therapy?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair treatment is a revolutionary approach to combating hair loss and promoting hair growth. This innovative procedure harnesses the power of your body's natural healing mechanisms to stimulate hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.

​

PRP ​​(Platelet-rich plasma) injections stimulate reparative cells and heal affected areas of the scalp, helping restore hair density. The procedure is relatively quick, and one can return to activities without limitations. It best suits individuals who prefer a non-surgical approach to treating hair loss and thinning.

Personalized Approach

We understand that each patient is unique, with individual concerns and goals regarding hair restoration. That's why we take a personalized approach to every PRP hair treatment, tailoring our strategies to meet the specific needs of each individual. Dr Cotterill combines expertise with empathy to ensure that every patient receives the care and attention they deserve.

How Long Does PRP Hair Treatment Take?

The PRP hair treatment is relatively quick and convenient, typically lasting less than an hour. After an initial consultation to assess your needs and determine the best treatment plan, the procedure involves a series of injections directly into the scalp. While individual treatment experience may vary depending on the extent of hair loss and the specific technique used, most patients can return to their daily activities with minimal downtime.

Common Signs of Baldness

Excessive hair loss from the scalp is referred to as baldness. Hair loss can happen in many ways and gradually affect your scalp. Signs of hair loss include:


  • Thinning on top of the head: This is the most common type of hair loss and can affect individuals of all ages.


  • Patchy bald spots: Some people lose hair in patches and may lose chunks of hair from the same patch. You may also experience itchiness before the hair falls out.


  • Sudden loosening of hair: Emotional stress can also affect hair loss. You may experience severe hair loss while combing or washing your hair or gentle tugging

PRP Hair Treatment Process

  • Initial Consultation

    Dr Paul Cotterill will discuss your hair loss concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. During this consultation, he will explain the treatment process and answer any questions you may have.

  • Platelet-Rich Plasma Extraction

    The process begins with a simple blood draw from the patient, like a routine blood test. The collected blood sample is then processed in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components, such as red blood cells.

  • Preparation of Prp Solution

     Once the PRP is extracted and isolated, it is prepared into a solution rich in growth factors and cytokines. These bioactive substances promote tissue repair, regeneration, and healing.

  • Precision Injection

     In order to minimize the discomfort of the injections, Dr Cotterill can numb the scalp first with a local anesthetic. Dr Cotterill carefully administers it through a series of injections directly into the scalp, targeting hair loss or thinning areas. The injections are strategically placed to deliver the concentrated growth factors directly to the hair follicles, stimulating them to become more active and promoting new hair growth.

  • Stimulated Hair Growth

    The growth factors in the PRP solution stimulate dormant hair follicles, promoting the growth of thicker, healthier hair. Enhancing blood circulation and nutrient delivery to the scalp nourishes the hair follicles and prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle, resulting in increased hair density and improved hair quality over time.


    ​

  • Follow-up Treatments

    While PRP hair treatment does not provide immediate results, patients typically begin to notice improvements in hair thickness, texture, and overall appearance within a few months of undergoing treatment. Depending on the individual's response to therapy, continued sessions may be recommended to maintain and enhance results over time. Dr. Cotterill may recommend follow-up sessions every 3 to 4 months to maintain results and optimize hair growth.

Are You a Good Candidate for PRP Therapy?

If your hair has recently begun noticeably thinning, then you are in the early stages of hair loss and a good candidate for PRP hair treatment for hair loss. As a man or woman with natural hair thinning or loss, you still have an adequate number of active hair follicles, even if they produce wispy hair or no hair at all. If you are generally healthy and have realistic expectations for hair loss treatment, you are also a good candidat.

At the same time, we may not recommend PRP therapy for patients who smoke, have low blood pressure, or are on long-term cortisone therapy.

  • Are preparing for or currently undergoing chemotherapy,
  • Have a recent history of cancer,
  • Have had a recent blood infection or sepsis,
  • Have clotting problems or low platelet counts

Benefits of PRP Hair Treatment for Hair Loss

  • PRP therapy is a non-surgical and well-tolerated procedure that requires only a small amount of blood and a few injections to complete a treatment session.
  • It helps strengthen hair roots by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, which stimulates natural hair growth.
  • Results from the procedure may become visible within a few weeks.
  • PRP therapy is not known to have significant side effects. Any mild bruising or tenderness at the injection site is temporary and does not require recovery time.
  • Patients can resume their regular routine almost immediately after the procedure.
