  2. PRP FOR HAIR LOSS • Millions of Canadians face thinning hair or baldness, but there's a promising solution. • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a leading treatment for hair loss, offering effective results. • The simple, safe procedure involves injecting the patient's blood into the scalp, stimulating hair follicles and rejuvenating the scalp for regrowth of thicker, healthier hair.

  3. CAUSES AND TYPES OF HAIR LOSS Causes • Hair loss can occur at any age due to genetic predispositions, stress, hormonal imbalances, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and excessive prescription and recreational drug use.  • Health conditions that require the use of radiation therapy can also cause partial or full hair loss. Types • There are various types of hair loss, depending on the underlying cause. Androgenetic Alopecia is the most common. • Other types of hair loss include Telogen Effluvium, Anagen Effluvium, Alopecia Areata, Tinea Capitis, and Cicatricial Alopecia. 

  4. THE PRP TREATMENT EXPLAINED • PRP therapy uses the patient's platelets to heal skin cells. Platelets contain growth factors like cytokines, which stimulate hair follicles to grow new cells. • PRP hair treatment in Brampton involves three steps, each lasting 30 to 60 minutes. The process includes drawing 10 to 60 milliliters of the patient's blood and treating it with an anticoagulant to prevent clotting before injection. • Blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, and platelets. A centrifuge separates each component, including the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) used for treatment. • The platelet-rich plasma is extracted using a syringe. A local anesthetic is applied to the scalp for comfort. The PRP is injected into the scalp with fine needles to stimulate hair growth and prevent follicle shrinkage.

  5. PRE-TREATMENT PREPARATION • For optimal results, patients should avoid anti-inflammatory medications, blood thinning agents, and sun exposure one week before the treatment. • It is also recommended to avoid alcohol consumption or tobacco use and refrain from using hairstyling products three days prior. • On the day of the PRP hair loss session, patients are to wash their hair, drink at least 16 ounces of water, and have a healthy breakfast.

  6. WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE TREATMENT • PRP therapy is safe with no recovery downtime. Post-treatment care includes washing hair after the session and avoiding styling products. Avoid hair colouring and chemical treatments for 72 hours. • For discomfort, mild pain, or swelling, use cold compresses and over-the-counter acetaminophen. Avoid alcohol, tobacco, sun exposure, and strenuous exercise for three days. Ref: https://heartlakeaesthetics.com/prp-for-hair-loss-understanding-procedure-expected-results/

  7. RESULTS AND TIMELINE • Depending on the patient’s lifestyle and the condition of the hair and scalp, results may vary. Some people may need treatment twice a year for lasting results. • With proper pre- and post-care, the results can be seen within three to four months after a few sessions.

  8. ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS AND COMPARISONS • Various clinics offer different hair loss treatments, such as mesotherapy, which combines enzymes, amino acids, nutrients, and chemicals to promote hair growth. • Unlike PRP, which uses the patient’s blood and natural healing, mesotherapy may cause minor pain and discomfort compared to PRP’s painless experience. • Mesotherapy requires sessions over weeks or months, while PRP can show results in as few as three sessions, offering quicker, more visible results and long-term cost savings.
