Hair Restoration

Losing your hair is something you hope would never happen as you age, but not everyone is that lucky.

Some people disguise thinning hair by wearing hats or wigs, especially in public. Fortunately, hair restoration is known to reverse the conditions of hair loss. It helps people feel young and it boosts their confidence as well.

Eterna M.D. offers an effective and permanent solution for hair loss for both men and women by using platelet-rich plasma to regenerate hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. It is a state-of-the-art, non-surgical, natural, alternative medical procedure used for the treatment of hair loss or hair thinning.

Who Can Benefit from PRP Hair Restoration?

Not everyone is a good candidate for PRP for hair loss. PRP is best used with people who have thinning hair rather than advanced balding, as it is most effective in amplifying healthy hair follicles that are currently producing hair.

Here are some conditions where you can benefit from hair restoration.

  • Androgenic alopecia (male or female patterned baldness)
  • Presence of one or more bald circles on the scalp
  • Traction alopecia caused by pulling at hair follicles
  • Diffuse thinning of the scalp that is due to hormonal imbalances or high levels of stress

What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a component of blood that contains vital growth factors and other proteins that create several effects when injected into the scalp. These effects include creating new blood vessels, stimulating hair follicles to produce thicker, longer hairs, and providing resources to hair follicle support cells.

Platelet-rich plasma has been in use for decades for helping heal wounds and injuries due to its effects of stimulating a healing and regeneration response. Although less research supports the benefits of PRP for hair restoration, many doctors and dermatologists offer this treatment due to the rate of success in patients.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) Therapy for Hair Support

Harvesting and administering platelet-rich plasma is a three-step medical treatment in which the patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp. Sometimes this approach is combined with our other hair loss procedure called Neograft depending on the severity of the case.

For most patients with varying degrees of hair loss, multiple PRP sessions will be needed to obtain the best results. Treatments may be scheduled once a month for several months followed by less regular maintenance appointments as needed.
