A person’s hair directly contributes to appearance. Therefore, it directly affects the level of self-esteem a person feels on a day to day basis. Men with pattern hair loss may wish to wear hats whenever possible. Women with diffuse or pattern hair loss may feel frustrated and hopeless when it comes to styling. These daily stressors don’t have to diminish your quality of life. Hair restoration treatments have improved in recent years. We are pleased to perform PRP hair restoration in our New Jersey office. Here, we discuss some of the reasons this process is so popular.
PRP is short for platelet-rich plasma. This organic substance is obtained by processing a person’s blood from a simple blood-draw. Spinning the blood, trained practitioners separate plasma from other blood cells and fluids. Plasma is a colorless substance that is rich in growth factors. Growth factors are involved in nearly every regenerative biological process. To stimulate improved hair growth, the doctor creates tiny punctures using a microneedling device. PRP is then applied over the microchannels in the skin, seeping in to deeper layers of tissue around poorly-functioning hair follicles.
