Hair Restoration with PRP in Austin

Hair loss, or alopecia, can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, aging, hormonal changes, stress, medical conditions, and certain medications. Understanding the underlying cause is important for determining the appropriate treatment approach.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves extracting a patient's own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then re-injecting the plasma into the scalp. The growth factors in the PRP can stimulate the hair follicles and promote new hair growth.

The PRP hair loss treatment typically involves several steps: blood draw, centrifugation to separate the platelets, and then injection of the concentrated PRP directly into the areas of the scalp with thinning or reduced hair growth.
