How will this help me grow hair?
PRP promotes hair growth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles and by encouraging hair follicles to extend the duration of the anagen phase of the growth cycle.
How is PRP extracted?
A sample of blood is drawn from the patient and spun in a centrifuge. During this process, PRP, which is the growth factor-rich component, is isolated from the whole blood sample. PRP is then injected directly into the area of desired hair growth. PRP can also be combined with microneedling for increased benefits.
Awesome…but will the treatment hurt?
Generally speaking, pain threshold varies from one individual to another. Our unique technique Minimizes the Pain Experience and Maximizes Results. This technique is exclusively offered at Springs Hair Restoration by Dr, Zack Charkwai.
Thanks to our specialized exclusive technique, the discomfort level is much less than classic techniques! First, a sample of blood is drawn from your arm and spun on a centrifuge. During this process, the lower layer is dark red and where the red blood cells are. The upper layer – PRP – is yellow and moreclear, and that is where the platelets and other healing factors reside. Meanwhile, your scalp is numbed using a special technique that is painless. The PRP is then injected directly into the area of desired hair growth. In some cases, Dr. Charkawi will combine this method with microneedling so the PRP further penetrates the scalp.
What is Microneedling with BPRP?
Microneedling is a technique that uses a single hand-held device with numerous tiny needles ranging from 0.25-3 millimeters in length. The microneedling pen is moved gently along the area being treated, creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin. Microneedling alone reduces inflammation, induces stem cell formation, and encourages collagen formation in the skin, which effectively strengthens hair follicles and leads to new hair growth.
