Does PRP Thicken Hair?

Home » Knowledge Center » Wellness » Does PRP Thicken Hair?

Yes, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can help thicken hair by improving the blood flow to the hair follicles. Unlike prescription drugs, PRP has little or no known side effects. PRP comes from a man’s own blood, so his body does not have an immune system reaction to PRP that it might have to a foreign substance.

The body receives many of its essential nutrients through the bloodstream. By increasing the blood supply to the hair follicles, PRP helps men’s hair follicles receive more of the nutrients that travel through the bloodstream.

What Men Should Know About Their Blood Cells

A man’s blood has three main types of cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. After blood is drawn, the platelets and cells are separated from the blood by using a centrifuge.

Platelets Do the Heavy Lifting of Healing

If you’re asking does PRP thicken hair, the answer is in the science of platelets. Platelets enhance growth factors and help your body use the platelets when healing itself. PRP utilizes a concentrated form of platelets and cells.

One could think of platelets as emergency medical technicians (EMTs). Platelets rush to the scene wherever needed when you get sick or hurt and stop bleeding by making a clot. When your body starts to grow new tissue, it uses platelets as the “ground floor.”

Platelets inject some material into an injured area and attract other needed substances to promote healing. These blood cells infuse the area with the growth factors they contain while they draw stem cells to come and help with the healing process. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) provides these benefits in a concentrated form for greater effectiveness.

What PRP Can Do for Hair

If you’re wondering if PRP thickens hair, you should know that after treatment with PRP, hair follicles receive an increased amount of nutrients, which energizes the follicle cells and make them healthier. Strong, healthy hair follicles stimulate more hair growth as well as stronger, thicker hair.

The Advantages of PRP for Hair Growth

Some surgical techniques can achieve positive results, but at great expense and the risk that all surgery carries. PRP does not involve any operations. You can walk into an office, have a simple procedure, and walk out about an hour to an hour and a half later.

Every few years there is a new product on the market that claims to be the miracle cure for thinning hair and male pattern baldness. Some of these items are scams that merely steal your money and leave you disappointed.

Some prescription drugs are effective, but, like all drugs, they have a risk of side effects. Depending on your medical history, you might not be able to take those medications safely. PRP is a safe and effective hair loss treatment that does not involve drugs or surgery.

PRP provides natural-looking results. Some other hair loss treatments look strange for months while the hair tries to fill in between “plugs,” and some of those treatments never do look real or natural.

What Men Need to Know About the Causes of Hair Loss

Male pattern baldness often causes hair loss. Women can experience female pattern hair loss, but men tend to experience hair loss more often than women.

You might notice hair loss after you start a new prescription drug. Some medical conditions can cause baldness. As we age, hormonal changes can cause us to lose excessive hair from the scalp. More people lose their hair from the combination of aging and heredity than from any other cause, according to Mayo Clinic.

The typical hair growth and shedding cycle is to shed about 100 hairs a day and replace them with new growth. If something causes hair follicles to die or your scalp stops growing new hairs for some other reason, over time, weakening will result in hair loss. If this is what you’re experiencing, you can check out the Hair Shedding Visual Scale for some examples.

PRP works to restore your ability to grow new hair. If you’re wondering if PRP thickens hair, you should know that after your scalp grows new blood vessels, receives growth factors and other proteins, and attracts stem cells to the area, you are more likely to have healthy hair follicles that can produce stronger hair.

You probably have questions about whether PRP might work for you. You can pick up the phone and call HealthGAINS today at (305) 912-8828 for a free consultation.
