How to Transform Your Hair with PRP Therapy (& a special announcement)

Losing your hair can be an emotionally challenging experience that weighs heavily on your self-esteem and confidence. At Rosem Health, we are dedicated to providing personalised solutions that help you reclaim what you might have thought was lost. One such innovative treatment is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which has gained acclaim for its ability to stimulate hair growth using your own natural resources. If thinning hair or early hair loss is troubling you, PRP therapy may be an option for consideration.

PRP therapy takes advantage of the healing properties found in your own body, specifically focusing on platelets—cells loaded with growth factors. By using these elements to rejuvenate hair follicles, PRP therapy triggers a natural healing process that promotes healthy hair growth. Let’s explore the science behind PRP, how it works, and to whom it might be suited.

What is PRP Therapy?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses the growth factors found in your blood to stimulate hair follicles. The process begins with a simple blood draw, from which we extract a small amount of your blood. This blood is then processed to concentrate the platelets, creating a PRP solution that is injected into your scalp at the level of the hair follicles.

Preparation of PRP solution for hair restoration

The science behind PRP therapy lies in the growth factors released by platelets, which help promote tissue regeneration. Studies indicate that PRP can lead to an improvement in hair density by up to 50% after consistent treatments. The body effectively enters a healing mode, which is crucial in rejuvenating and stimulating hair follicles that may be thinning or dormant.

Will PRP Work for Me?

One of the most common questions about PRP therapy is its effectiveness for individual cases of hair loss. Results can vary based on several factors, such as the underlying cause of hair loss and the current state of your hair follicles. However, PRP has shown effective results in treating:

• Early-stage male and female pattern baldness

• Thinning hair due to hormonal changes (affecting about 50% of women post-menopause)

• Postpartum hair shedding, which affects roughly 20-50% of new mothers

• Hair loss caused by stress

  
  

However, PRP may not be the best option for individuals experiencing scarring alopecia, or those with advanced baldness where hair follicles are no longer healthy.

Is PRP Treatment Painful?

Many individuals worry about the comfort level of scalp injections. Fortunately, PRP therapy is generally not considered a painful procedure. A topical anaesthetic is applied to the scalp prior to the injections, greatly reducing any discomfort. Most patients report only mild sensations during the treatment.

After the procedure, it is normal to see some redness or mild swelling, but these effects typically fade within a few hours, allowing you to resume your daily activities quickly.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Typically, a PRP therapy regimen includes three to six sessions, spaced around four to six weeks apart. The specific number of sessions needed can depend on the current condition of your hair and your desired outcomes. After completing the initial treatment series, many people benefit from maintenance sessions every six to twelve months to help sustain their results.

Is PRP Therapy Safe?

Yes, PRP therapy is considered a safe procedure. Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or other complications often associated with synthetic treatments is significantly minimised. At Rosem Health, we uphold strict medical standards to ensure safety during all procedures.

It is important to have a thorough consultation with our experienced practitioners, who will evaluate your individual case and health history to tailor the treatment to your needs.

Who is PRP Therapy Suitable For?

Individuals experiencing any stage of hair thinning are ideal candidates for PRP therapy. This includes both men and women facing genetic hair loss or those undergoing life transitions that can lead to hair shedding, such as postpartum recovery or significant stress. PRP therapy not only spurs hair growth but also enhances the overall condition of your scalp and hair.

Conversely, PRP may not be effective for those with extensive scarring alopecia or for those who are completely bald, as the treatment relies on the presence of viable hair follicles.
