While there are a multitude of treatment options available, many of these options can be expensive, ineffective or come with unwanted side effects. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a safe, minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment that utilizes the body\u2019s own natural growth factors to stimulate hair growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedaestheticsnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/PRP.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedaestheticsnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/PRP.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/advancedaestheticsnj.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/PRP-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of PRP&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>increases blood supply to the hair follicle&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increases shaft size (thickness)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>increases density of hair follicles&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decreases hair loss&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stimulates new hair growth by triggering and maintaining the growth phase of the hair cycle&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Process&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A small sample of your own blood is taken and placed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood at high speeds. This separates the platelet rich plasma from other components of your blood. The platelet rich plasma is then injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicle. Topical numbing or topical freezing is used for patient comfort. The entire procedure takes roughly 30 minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recovery&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery after PRP treatment is fast with minimal downtime. Most patients resume their daily activity within 48 hours. Patients are asked to refrain from brushing or washing their hair for 48 hours. Some patients experience minor transient discomfort in the scalp.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-fuel-fuel-toggle-block toggle\" id=\"3nlvk24apjsg75kxy6bjgu\"><summary>What causes hair loss?<\/summary><div class=\"toggle-content\">\n<p>There are a variety of factors that can contribute to hair loss, some even out of our own control.&nbsp;These include genetics, poor nutrition, aging, hormonal changes, trauma and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-fuel-fuel-toggle-block toggle\" id=\"x0kmbg5xv7cxx7hhp9t48m\"><summary>Am I a good candidate?<\/summary><div class=\"toggle-content\">\n<p>PRP is best for those with thinning hair or those who are in the beginning stages of hair loss.&nbsp;Patients with longstanding baldness or scar related hair loss are not great candidates.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-fuel-fuel-toggle-block toggle\" id=\"9pz9b4mxlshkgoyut2dd7q\"><summary>Do I need to stop any medications?<\/summary><div class=\"toggle-content\">\nYes, medications that inhibit platelet activity or decrease inflammation should be stopped prior to undergoing PRP treatment.
