Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy or PRP is one of the newest services used to treat hair loss in men and women. This innovative technology works by using plasma from the patient to stimulate the hair follicle and kickstart the growth process of hair. Plasma has five times the number of platelets as blood, making it especially useful for a variety of treatments, including hair loss. Platelets in plasma can affect the healing process and contain growth properties, making PRP therapy successful in clinical trials.
Ideal Candidates
The best thing about PRP therapy in New Jersey is that it is an option for most people. There are a few restrictions such as being on blood thinning medication, not having a strong immune system, or having any bleeding disorders and iron deficiencies. This new technology also works by reviving hair follicles that are still present in the scalp. Ideally, candidates for PRP Therapy should have mild to moderate hair loss or thinning.
What You Should Know to Prepare for Treatment at Our Northern New Jersey Area PRP Clinic
- There is no downtime for PRP Therapy.
- The entire procedure only takes a few hours.
- This is highly convenient as patients can go right back to a normal routine with few restrictions.
- Avoid donating blood or plasma at least two to three weeks prior to your PRP Therapy treatment. This will ensure that your plasma has an adequate supply of platelets for the procedure.
- Patients should avoid smoking and may need to stop taking certain medications before treatment.
- No general anesthesia is used in PRP Therapy, topical anesthesia may be used. The entire process feels like a blood or plasma donating experience and is only mildly uncomfortable.
- This therapy treatment is customized to every patient, making it impossible to give a set price for the procedure. At your initial consultation, Dr. Rapaport will design a treatment plan that works best for the hair loss you are experiencing and go over the charges at that time.
- After the procedure, patients should avoid the sun and the use of styling products or chemicals, including hair coloring and bleach. Once the scalp is fully healed, normal hair care can be resumed.
- The doctor will send home post-procedure instructions. For best results, do not vary from the precise instructions you are given. They will teach you how to care for your hair and scalp as the hair begins to grow in, just a few weeks later.
