Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The fountain of youth for your hair!

 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment with many applications, including wound healing, treatment of sports injuries, and now to improve hair loss. Dr. Charkawi has found that this natural treatment for individuals suffering hair loss provides excellent results without hair transplant surgery. Dr. Charkawi’s technical skills and attention to detail have made him one of the most sought-after plastic surgeons in Atlanta and surrounding cities such as Milton, Alpharetta, Roswell and Sandy Springs.

 

PRP is a natural approach to hair loss which uses growth factors found in your own blood supply to stimulate hair growth. Coined “the fountain of youth”, this serum has many aesthetic and medical applications. PRP promotes hair growth by increasing the blood supply to hair follicles and encouraging hair follicles to extend the duration of the anagen phase, which is the growing phase of the hair cycle.

Why choose our innovative PRP treatment technique ?

When it comes to Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), treatment for hair, the level of pain experienced can vary among individuals due to differing pain thresholds. During the PRP procedure, the affected area of the scalp is injected. Typically, physicians use a numbing cream beforehand to address surface-level sensations, although this primarily targets superficial pain. Dr. Zack Chakwai’s innovative technique places a strong emphasis on minimizing incisions and pain levels to maximize the potential for hair regrowth. The needle I use and injections process are specifically designed to reduce stress on blood vessels, resulting in fewer injections and decreased patient discomfort and complications. This approach also allows for the perfusion of larger amounts of PRP into the subcutaneous fat, enhancing its overall effectiveness. With thus unique technique, there’s no longer a need for messy and less effective topical anesthetics.

We combine and harness the power of Microneedling and PRP to expedite hair growth. And we provide the best PRP treatments in Johns Creek, Sandy Springs and Metro Atlanta.

About the Procedure

PRP is an all-natural medical procedure that is performed in Dr. Charkawi’s office at Springs Hair Restoration and Johns Creek Dermatology offices. To begin the procedure, blood is drawn from a patient’s body and specially prepared by spinning down the blood cells to a high concentration. The blood is spun in a centrifuge and the PRP is separated and removed from the rest of the blood. The centrifuge is a closed sterile system where platelets are concentrated to 3X the normal blood values. The system eliminates granulocytes which hurts tissue regeneration and wound healing. Once the PRP is ready, an anesthesia block is given to nerves of the scalp so the patient does not feel any pain. The highly concentrated PRP is then injected into the scalp. The patient’s hair is then washed and the patient may drive home without any assistance. No sedation or any medication is given during the procedure to inhibit the ability to drive or use machinery. Patients generally have to receive PRP therapy multiple times before they can see any results. However, some patients may only have to receive PRP therapy once a year.

Candidate for PRP?

While PRP therapy is generally suitable for most individuals, those with a history of heavy smoking, drug, or alcohol use are discouraged from seeking PRP therapy. Additionally, individuals with certain medical conditions are also advised against undergoing PRP therapy.

Each patient is unique; therefore, results of treatment may vary.
