PRP SCALP
WHAT IS PRP HAIR GROWTH TREATMENT?
Do you remember having thicker, fuller hair? Hair loss can be very distressing, and often have a direct impact on our confidence. As we age our hair often becomes thinner leaving us unsatisfied with its appearance. PRP hair treatments work by drawing a small sample of your blood and separating the platelets/growth factors, this is then injected into your scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.
PRP contains a range of growth factors and proteins, helping to accelerate the body’s healing process, with the concentrated platelets that contribute to stimulating new hair growth. This is a clinically proven treatment with several studies showing PRP injections reduced further hair loss, increased the diameter of the hair and improved overall growth density acting as an effective hair loss treatment. While the results of PRP on hair thinning will vary from patient to patient, the process itself is very safe and reliable.Patients often see improvements in the thickness, density, and quality of their hair after just a few sessions of PRP therapy. This treatment is especially beneficial for those dealing with androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern hair loss), as it works to strengthen the existing hair follicles and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle. Here at Icon Aesthetics we are here to help you get your hair growth journey back on track and get you feeling great about your hair again!
What to Expect During PRP Scalp Therapy?
PRP therapy is a safe, quick, and minimally invasive procedure. Each session typically takes 45-60 minutes, and you can return to your regular activities immediately afterward. Since PRP uses your own blood, there is minimal risk of side effects or allergic reactions as it is totally natural.
For optimal results, we usually recommend 3-4 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 6-12 months, depending on your individual hair needs.
