PRP therapy is a rejuvenation technique that has commonly been used in both sports medicine and cosmetics. PRP uses growth factors in the blood to stimulate the growth of new cells. At Austin & Reddick Dermatology, we use this technique to help patients address hair loss by targeting hair follicles to trigger healthy, natural hair growth. This non-surgical treatment involves only the use of a patient’s own blood, eliminating the risk of reactions or side effects that often occur with other hair restoration treatments.
PRP for hair loss is a 3-step process in which we draw blood, spin it in our centrifuge and inject back into the scalp. A treatment series is 4 treatments, spaced out monthly, then every 6 months for maintenance is recommended. Often times, for best results we will combine medical treatment along with PRP injections which can be managed by the licensed medical provider injecting the PRP.
PRP can also be added to any of our micro-needling procedures for extra collagen growth!
