Why does hair loss occur?
There are many reasons a patient may be experiencing hair loss or thinning. It can be caused by anything from stress to genetics. If you want to renew their self-confidence with hair restoration, we encourage you to ask about PRP therapy, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.
PRP therapy explained
Understanding PRP therapy is the first step in determining if it is an appropriate treatment for you. The doctors at Dermatology Associations of Northern Virginia, Inc. assess patients for candidacy. Platelets, which are found in the blood, are used to repair damaged cells and blood vessels. Their growth factors help in stimulating and rejuvenating cells in the body. When the platelets are injected into the scalp, they can promote hair growth while strengthening the existing hair follicles.
What are the benefits of PRP therapy?
PRP therapy is:
- Free from allergic reactions
- Used with the patient’s own blood
- Safe and effective
- Free from risk of rejection
- A holistic, natural approach to hair loss and thinning
