How does PRP in West Palm Beach work?

Though often associated with aging and genetics, hair loss can happen any time throughout adulthood. Balding occurs when the hair follicles, the small sacs that anchor individual hairs to the scalp, begin to shrink, allowing the hair to fall out. Hair loss can be due to hair pulling aka traction in many women. Men usually suffer from androgenic alopecia. The good news both conditions can be treated successfully with PRP as long as the hair follicles are still alive.

In the world of sports medicine, doctors have used PRP to help heal muscle and tendon injuries. With hair loss, research suggests injecting the platelets found in a patient’s blood and activating growth factors can improve the blood supply to their hair follicles and increase the thickness of their hair shafts.

Before a PRP procedure for hair restoration, we will discuss realistic expectations with you. Improvement in hair health and thickness is possible and has been documented in several peer-reviewed studies. We will also talk about lifestyle choices that can affect hair loss, such as quitting smoking and eating a diet fortified with vitamin D and iron – two nutrients that might support hair growth.
