PRP hair restoration capitalizes on the regenerative capabilities of platelets in the patient's blood. Platelets are rich in growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive proteins essential for tissue repair and regeneration. During our procedure for hair restoration in Virginia Beach, a small sample of the patient's blood is drawn and centrifuged to concentrate the platelets. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into the scalp at the targeted areas of hair loss or thinning.
The growth factors and proteins in the PRP stimulate the activity of hair follicles, promoting cell proliferation and enhancing the production of hair shafts. PRP therapy also improves blood circulation to the scalp, ensuring a steady supply of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles. Over time, this rejuvenates dormant hair follicles, prolongs the growth phase of existing hair, and encourages the growth of new hair strands, leading to thicker, fuller hair for the patient.
