Hair loss is one of the most frustrating side effects of aging, and it can happen earlier than you think. Even women struggle with thinning hair and early hair loss, which is often due to genetics. When over-the-counter products and supplements fail to make a difference, it may be time to consider a professional hair loss treatment. At New Body Aesthetics in Cincinnati, OH, board-certified physician Dr. Cory A. Gaiser and our team of experts are proud to offer advanced PRP therapy for hair loss.

Why is my hair falling out?

There are a number of potential causes of hair loss and thinning hair, including:

  • Genetics/heredity
  • Diet
  • Stress and anxiety
  • Age
  • Hormone fluctuation
  • Certain medications

Depending on the cause and extent of your hair loss, you may be a candidate for PRP injection therapy to promote increased hair growth.

What is PRP for hair loss?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a rejuvenating treatment designed to encourage hair growth by utilizing the powerful growth factors and other elements found in your own blood. PRP therapy in Cincinnati begins with a small tube of blood being drawn from the patient’s arm. The blood is then separated in our on-site centrifuge in order to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains concentrated growth factors and other rich proteins. Finally, the PRP serum is strategically injected into the scalp in areas of hair loss or thinning hair, where it works to ignite the body’s healing and regeneration response. Over the course of several months, patients should notice healthier, denser hair growth.

How long does PRP for hair last?

The results of PRP hair loss therapy can vary from patient to patient depending on a variety of personal factors, including the concentration of platelets in his or her blood. On average, patients can expect their PRP results to last for up to 12 – 18 months, though most men and women undergo treatment once per year to maintain their new look.

What are the benefits of PRP therapy?

In addition to being a natural solution to hair loss, PRP can be used to improve tendon, ligament, and muscle injuries, as well as being a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment. For certain injuries, PRP is injected directly into the affected area to stimulate new cell growth and trigger the body’s natural healing process. For skin rejuvenation, PRP may either be injected into the face or applied as a topical serum for skin tightening and other purposes.
