PRP treatments are used to increase hair count, thickness, and the hair growth phase cycle. The innovative procedure is gaining popularity with patients interested in decreasing hair loss and thinning. PRP Treatments are used to rejuvenate the skin and hair for thicker, longer hair and less thinning over time.
How PRP Treatments Work
Can a natural treatment prevent hair from falling out?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is made from the patient’s own blood. The concentrated platelets collected in a blood sample are used to enhance the body’s natural growth factors and healing process.
Growth factors are natural processes existent in the body and are accelerated by the PRP treatment. Results of the PRP treatment include the stimulation of hair growth and young-looking skin.
Plasma found in the blood contains both white blood cells and platelets. These natural components are rich in growth factors. When concentrated through the PRP process, the delivery of the plasma to the skin creates faster and more effective hair growth.
Growth factors from the PRP treatments stimulate the activity of hair follicles. The increase of hair growth through PRP treatments is caused by:
Enhancing natural growth factors
Triggering the body’s natural healing process
Stimulating hair follicles
Increasing blood flow to the scalp

PRP Treatment Procedure
PRP hair restoration expert Reena Jogi, MD in Houston, TX, ensures that the PRP procedure is efficient and comfortable for patients.
The process of the PRP treatment procedure is straightforward. After blood is drawn from the patient’s arm, plasma is separated from red blood cells using a centrifuge machine, which spins the tube of blood. Numerous injections are then made across the scalp at the level of the follicles.
Platelet Rich Plasma treatments have been used clinically for years and offer many benefits, such as treatments for reconstructive and regenerative surgeries, arthritis, signs of aging, and other health issues. The process takes between thirty and sixty minutes. PRP treatments performed in-office with a PRP expert use local anesthesia to further increase patient comfort.
