PRP HAIR RESTORATION

Recovery from PRP injections for hair or hair restoration often takes three to four weeks. Age, genetics, environmental circumstances, lifestyle decisions, and any concurrent hair treatments are just a few of the variables that affect how quickly PRP hair treatments recover. Mild scalp tenderness, redness, or swelling may occur but typically resolves within 1-2 days. Avoid washing your hair or applying products for 24 hours post-treatment, and refrain from strenuous exercise for 48 hours to support healing.

For effective PRP hair treatment outcomes, you must finish a course of 4 to 6 treatment sessions. Initial improvements in hair thickness and growth may appear within 3 months with new hair growth lasting for roughly 18 to 24 months. PRP is not permanent, so touch-up procedures are suggested once a year. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months can prolong results.

Avoid consuming blood thinners, blood-thinning medications, and vitamins and nutritional supplements that contain these blood-thinning chemicals at least a week (or better yet, two weeks) prior to your treatment. Talk to your doctor if you have a prescription that requires it because you might not be eligible for PRP. Avoid getting your hair colored or styled at least a week before your treatment. You may get adverse effects later on as a result of this.

At least three days before your therapy, abstain from smoking and consuming any alcoholic beverages. Alcohol thins the blood and can increase the sensitivity of microneedling and injections on the scalp. It can also make the blood draw process more painful. At least seven days before the treatment, avoid being in the sun for too long. This may cause your hair and scalp’s natural oils to dry out, causing it to become dry and brittle.
