PRP Hair Restoration

One of the most common causes of hair loss is known as “androgenic alopecia,” which is also called male or female pattern hair loss. This condition gets its name from the fact that the resulting hair loss proceeds in a fairly predictable way: Men typically experience a receding hairline and thinning at the crown, while women tend to notice overall thinning and a gradually widening part.

This type of hair loss has a genetic component, which causes hair follicles to weaken and shut down over time.

Diet, certain medications or supplements, stress, hormone fluctuations, and even tight hairstyles can also contribute to hair loss.

In many cases, adjusting diet, discontinuing certain medications, reducing stress, addressing hormone imbalances, or changing hairstyles can not only stop but even reverse hair loss.

However, androgenic alopecia requires a different restoration approach.

A primary and highly effective hair restoration treatment involves PRP injections at BonneVie MD Aesthetics. PRP injections are made from a patient’s own blood, which is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge in order to separate the blood into various components.

Platelets are small fragments of cells that play an important role in the body. They are a significant element in healing, as they work to close wounds and carry out repairs. Platelets also have a revitalizing effect on tissue, so concentrating them into plasma—which is the liquid component of blood—and then injecting the resulting PRP into an area where it is needed can be immensely beneficial.

PRP injections are an effective strategy for addressing failing follicles. The PRP injections are made directly into the scalp, where the platelets begin work improving circulation and providing other benefits that revive follicles that have been weakening.

Since PRP injections are made from a patient’s own blood, the components are entirely natural. This makes PRP injections a highly sought-after and sophisticated solution to the problem of androgenic alopecia.

BonneVie MD Aesthetics also offers Nutrafol supplements, which are formulated to target the root causes of failing follicles. The ingredients are intentionally chosen to address hormone shifts and the natural breakdown of hair growth due to time. Formulations are available specifically for men and women at various stages of life. These supplements can be taken on their own or used to complement and enhance the effects of PRP injections.

Hair loss can be distressing, no matter the cause—but nobody has to just sit back and accept it. If you have noticed thinning on your own scalp and have been wondering about the benefits of PRP injections and more, contact the BonneVie MD Aesthetics team.
