Benefits of PRP Treatment in South Surrey BC

You may be a good candidate for PRP hair treatment, if:

• You have overall weak follicles
• You have small areas of alopecia areata, which is hair loss due to the immune system accidentally targeting and attacking the hair follicles
• You are in good general health
• You have realistic expectations about hair restoration

Miniaturization, also known as hair follicle miniaturization, is the technical term for thinning or balding hair. The process causes hair follicles to constrict, making it more difficult for hair to grow. Miniaturization affects more men than women. It can manifest physical signs such as a receding hairline, thin hair, a bald spot, or even complete baldness. PRP therapy acts as an elixir for hair growth, as it works upon almost all the essential components required for the survival of hair. Besides working on the hair follicles, PRP also works in rejuvenating melanin-forming cells and neurovascular bundles. Therefore, platelet-rich plasma improves the overall environment for the survival of hair follicles and the surrounding supportive structures and helps in the reversal of miniaturization.

PRP is an effective treatment for many soft tissue injuries, such as the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. In cases where ligament damage is caused by a structural issue, PRP therapy may not be as effective.

Platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that prompt the skin to release new, regenerative cells. By creating new cells, including new collagen and blood vessels, these cells heal the area as they would a wound. It is important to be patient after receiving a PRP facial, as it takes 30 days for the new collagen to regenerate itself. As the skin is revitalizing itself, this process takes time. Results are typically first visible within a week of treatment, with its full effects evident after 1 or 2 months. After this time, the rejuvenated skin appears younger and feels softer and suppler. Results can last anywhere between 1 to 2 years following the initial treatment.

PRP injections work by releasing growth factors to reduce skin pigmentation. Unlike IPL or other laser procedures for melasma, PRP will not make the condition worse. In fact, it is one of the treatments patients can confidently try without worry. On top of helping melasma, PRP facials provide a whole host of potential benefits. Being an independent treatment with no downtime, it can be performed in conjunction with other melasma treatments to add and enhance the effects. There are more than 30 bioactive substances in platelet-rich plasma that have separate roles, from adding new blood vessels to increasing skin volume.
