If your hair isn’t what it used to be, hair restoration at Chicago's Beautify at AMS can restore a natural hairline and add density to bald or thinning areas on your scalp.
What is PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been FDA-approved and used for over 30 years for advanced wound healing in multiple areas of the human body. In more recent years, the medical industry has been seeing exciting results with this therapy for hair growth. Platelet-rich plasma is taken from the patient’s own blood. When it’s injected into the scalp, it stimulates the body’s own growth factors and stem cells to slow hair loss and reverse miniaturized hair to produce strong, visible hairs again. If used at the time of a hair transplant, it encourages faster graft growth. PRP has proven to be quite effective in both men and women experiencing hair loss.
Recovery and Results
Downtime is fairly simple with platelet-rich plasma hair restoration treatments. You may wash your hair regularly a few hours after treatment, but avoid any type of hair tinting/coloring or blow drying for three days. During recovery, you may temporary experience itching, swelling, tenderness, or pinpoint bleeding at the injection sites. We recommend sleeping with your head elevated the first night after the procedure.
Non-surgically, several studies have shown increased hair density at four months, with final results visible at 6-12 months. Hair restoration with PRP is a gradual process, and patience is important. These results last approximately 11 months. Non-surgical injections of PRP are generally performed twice a year.
