Revitalise Your Roots: Embrace the Power of PRP Hair Restoration

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for hair is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment that harnesses the body's natural healing properties to promote hair growth and improve hair density. This innovative procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient's own blood, which is then processed to extract the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP, rich in growth factors and proteins, is then injected into the scalp, targeting areas where hair thinning or loss has occurred.
The growth factors present in PRP are believed to stimulate the activity of hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and strengthening existing hair. By nourishing the scalp and encouraging cellular regeneration, PRP can help reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles, potentially leading to thicker, fuller hair over time. As a minimally invasive procedure, PRP for hair treatment is appealing to individuals seeking natural and holistic approaches to hair restoration without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.
Patients undergoing PRP therapy typically undergo a series of treatments over several months, with maintenance sessions recommended to sustain the results. While individual results may vary, many individuals have reported visible improvements in hair thickness, texture, and overall scalp health following PRP treatments. This therapeutic approach has gained attention for its potential to address various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, as well as hair thinning due to aging or other factors.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR PRP TREATMENT
1. Consultation:
Before the treatment, you will have a thorough consultation with Dr Chike, specializing in PRP therapy. During this session, your medical history, current medications, and specific hair concerns will be discussed. The he will assess your scalp and hair condition to determine if PRP treatment is suitable for you.
2. Preparation:
On the day of the treatment, Dr Chike will guide you through the procedure and answer any remaining questions you may have. You may be advised to wash your hair before the treatment and avoid applying any topical products on your scalp.
3. Blood Draw:
The treatment begins with a small blood draw from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. The collected blood is then processed using a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
4. Scalp Numbing (Optional):
In some cases, a topical anesthetic may be applied to the scalp to minimize discomfort during the injection process. This step can ensure a more comfortable experience for individuals with heightened sensitivity.
5. PRP Injection:
Once the PRP is prepared, the Dr Chike will use a fine needle to carefully administer the concentrated plasma into targeted areas of the scalp. The injections are strategically performed to address areas of hair thinning or loss. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment area.
6. Post-Treatment Care:
After the PRP injections, you will receive instructions on post-treatment care, which may include avoiding vigorous hair washing for a specified period, refraining from intense physical activity, and following specific guidelines for hair care products.
7. Follow-Up:
Following the initial treatment, you may be scheduled for additional PRP sessions based on your personalized treatment plan. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment regimen.
KEY BENEFITS OF PRP HAIR TREATMENT
1. Natural Hair Regeneration:
PRP therapy utilizes the patient's own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair follicles, promoting natural hair growth and density without the use of synthetic drugs or invasive procedures.
2. Enhanced Hair Thickness:
By nourishing the scalp and rejuvenating hair follicles, PRP treatment can lead to improved hair thickness and texture, contributing to a fuller, healthier-looking mane.
3. Minimally Invasive Procedure:
Compared to surgical hair restoration methods, PRP therapy is minimally invasive, involving only injections of the patient's processed blood components into the scalp, resulting in minimal downtime and reduced risk of complications.
4. Personalized Treatment Approach:
PRP therapy can be tailored to address individual hair concerns, making it a versatile option for various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, alopecia areata, and general hair thinning.
5. Potential for Long-Term Results:
With regular treatment sessions and maintenance, PRP therapy may offer long-lasting benefits, supporting sustained hair growth and scalp health over time.
6. Safe and Well-Tolerated:
PRP treatment is generally well-tolerated by patients, as it involves using the body's own healing components, minimizing the likelihood of adverse reactions or allergies.
7. Complementary to Other Hair Restoration Methods:
PRP therapy can be used in conjunction with other hair restoration techniques, such as hair transplants or topical treatments, to optimize results and enhance overall hair rejuvenation.
8. Non-Drug Solution:
For individuals seeking drug-free alternatives for hair restoration, PRP therapy presents a natural and holistic approach to addressing hair loss and promoting renewed hair vitality.

What are Anti-Wrinkle treatments?Botulinum toxin A often referred to as anti-wrinkle or muscle relaxant injections is a prescription only treatment. It works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles. The muscle becomes relaxed, in turn reducing the appearance of the lines and wrinkles.
-
What do muscle relaxant injections consist of?Muscle relaxants consist of a purified version of a protein and toxin produced by a bacteria found in meat. When injected into targeted muscles, these products work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscle. This controlled weakening reduces muscle movement, causing the wrinkles over the muscles to become smoother.
-
When will I see my results?Initial results start at day 4-5 post injection but the full optimum result typically is seen at 2 weeks. At 2 weeks we offer a review appointment.
-
How long will my results last?This depends on the area treated, and the individual client.

-
What is the difference between Muscle relaxant injections and Dermal Filler?Muscle relaxants are used to treat wrinkles and lines caused by repeated muscle movement, such as smile lines and forehead creases. They work by temporarily weakening the underlying muscles. Dermal fillers are used to plump up the skin by adding volume. They may be used to fill in wrinkles caused by sagging skin, to restore volume lost to the ageing process, or to enhance areas of the face such as the lips and cheeks.
-
Which areas can be treated?Muscle relaxants have been used successfully to treat most areas of the face, smoothing wrinkles caused by facial muscles. Common treatment areas include forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet and horizontal lines on the forehead.
-
What is the ideal time to start?Many clients begin receiving injections of muscle relaxants as soon as they start seeing signs of wrinkles. Others wait until their wrinkles are more substantial before seeking treatment. There is no reason to delay seeking cosmetic injections. Many clients undergo decades of repeated treatments with no ill effects. While most clients begin seeking treatment in their early 30s or 40s, it can be performed safely on clients who are both younger and older.

-
Can I still make facial expressions?One of the worries many clients express is that the injections will make it difficult for them to move their faces. While muscle relaxants do relax the muscle activity causing wrinkles, when used correctly they will not affect your ability to frown, look surprised, and make other facial movements. When overdone, muscle relaxants can have a tendency to cause a frozen appearance. This is why it is important to choose carefully when considering aesthetic treatments.

Many patients undergo regular touch-up injections in order to maintain their rejuvenated appearance. If you opt not to have further treatment, the treated area will gradually return to its pre-treatment appearance.
-
Will it last longer if I have more product injected?With muscle relaxants it is better not to overdo it. In fact, over usage can increase side effects and lead to an unnatural looking appearance.
