What is PRP?

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma.

The PRP consists of a high concentration of blood platelets. We produce this high concentration by centrifuging your platelets in my office (blood spinning).

How does PRP work?

Blood platelets contain growth factors that can stimulate capillary cell regeneration.

Hair PRP injections promote the growth and revitalization of hair follicles by stimulating your scalp's natural regeneration process.

The PRP Hair Treatment is an ideal solution for those who wish to :

• Strengthen thinning hair Stimulates hair follicle growth for denser hair.
• Reduce hair loss Slows capillary loss by strengthening roots.
• Revitalize the scalp Improves blood circulation and nourishes the scalp for healthier hair.
• Increase hair thickness and vitality For thicker, healthier locks.

What is the PRP injection procedure?

• The injection appointment lasts a maximum of one hour. You must be accompanied during this procedure.
• The nurse takes a blood sample and we put your blood in the centrifuge at a given speed. This separates your red and white blood cells from your platelets.
• Once centrifugation is complete, I remove the platelet-rich plasma and reinject it into the scalp, close to the hair follicles. The procedure is carried out under ultrasound guidance and in a sterile environment.
• During the injection, your platelets, now more concentrated, release several growth factors. This release can create inflammation and pain, but it's what makes healing possible.
• The entire procedure is carried out in my office.

How many treatments are needed?

Response to treatment varies from patient to patient. Some patients require a second treatment, rarely a third, to achieve optimal results in terms of hair regrowth and density.

I'll see you six weeks later to assess regrowth and discuss further treatment if necessary.

What are the possible side effects?

• There are very few side effects, as this is a natural technique using your own blood. 
• The most common side effect is increased pain following the injection. In rare cases, this pain can last up to two weeks.
• The acute inflammation I cause is necessary for your tissues to heal. You may have no pain at all and still heal.
• Risks of infection and allergy to xylocaine (anesthetic) are very rare.
• A clot may form, or I may touch a nerve.
• The risk of deterioration of your condition or tissue rupture is very low. You must follow my post-treatment recommendations.

What are the recommendations following this intervention?

• You must avoid anti-inflammatory drugs (including Advil and Motrin) and cortisone one week before and one week after the procedure.

What should I do if I want this treatment?

You must make an appointment with me. You don't need a referral to meet me. I will evaluate you at our first meeting and let you know if you are a good candidate for this treatment.
