Have you been experiencing moderate hair loss, thinning, or the early stages of pattern baldness? It might be time to consider the restorative effects of PRP. By catching and treating hair loss early on, you can enjoy restoration results that bring your hair back to its original, rich fullness. Richmond Plastic Surgeons offers PRP for men and women living in Richmond, Midlothian and surrounding areas of Virginia looking to restore volume and lost hair.

What Exactly Is PRP?

PRP (or “platelet-rich plasma”) is a hair treatment that draws blood from the patient, extracting the plasma and then injecting it directly into the scalp where hair loss is present.

Your platelet-rich plasma contains nourishing growth factors, which encourage hair growth and work to restore volume.

We can also use PRP injections on other areas of the body, to treat wrinkles and acne scars.

What Are the Benefits of PRP?

PRP is perfect for patients who have started to notice thinning hair. It’s a quick and easy procedure that’s quite similar to giving blood, is completely non-surgical, and doesn’t leave scars.

If you opt to have your scalp numbed, the procedure is completely pain-free, and doesn’t involve any downtime following your session.

PRP provides you with natural results, which can easily be maintained with repeat sessions.

Though PRP is a bit more involved than light therapy, it’s an excellent non-surgical option for anyone looking to restore their lost hair without undergoing a more complex and expensive procedure.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for PRP?

If you’re experiencing hair loss, you’re absolutely a good candidate for PRP.

Those of us with recent hair loss tend to respond best to PRP therapy, so acting fast and getting PRP sooner, rather than later, will help you find the best results. Patients on blood thinners or other blood medications might experience less dramatic results.

We’ll work with you during your consultation to assess your personal situation and figure out if PRP is the right fit for you.

What Should I Expect on the Day of my PRP Procedure?

During your PRP procedure, one of our highly experienced staff members will draw blood from your arm, which will then be placed into a centrifuge, to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the blood.

This plasma will be extracted, before it’s injected into your scalp, in any place where hair loss is present. Some patients experience discomfort during this step, so you can choose to have your scalp numbed, if you’d prefer.

Once the procedure is complete, you can return to your normal life!
