{"product_id":"prp-for-hair-restoration","title":"PRP Hair Restoration","description":"\u003cp\u003eHair loss and thinning hair is stressful for both men and women. Our hair is part of who we are, and its loss affects our self-image and confidence. Hair loss can result from heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions, or medications — but both men and women can now achieve thicker, healthier hair with platelet rich plasma (PRP) derived from their own blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is PRP Treatment for Hair Loss?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlatelet rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment where blood is drawn — similar to a routine blood test — then prepared using a centrifuge to produce a concentration of plasma rich with platelets and growth factors. PRP has been used for decades in various medical disciplines to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. A multitude of studies in the medical literature demonstrate that platelets contain growth factors that strengthen hair and prevent hair loss. PRP is especially effective for combating thinning hair and is ideal for both men and women suffering from hair loss or a receding hairline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of PRP for Hair Loss\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-surgical improvement in hair loss with no downtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA non-invasive method of hair regrowth using your own plasma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStimulates inactive hair follicles to enter the active growth phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be combined with topical medications to further stimulate hair growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal risk of allergic reaction — derived entirely from your own blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn average, hair density improves 20–30% after the recommended number of treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to Expect at Your First Consultation and Treatment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon arrival at Healthy Skin Centre, your medical history will be taken along with photographs of your scalp. A nurse will draw blood from a vein in your arm — similar to a routine blood test. Your blood is then processed in our centrifuge to concentrate the platelets, growth factors, and white blood cells, which are injected into your scalp using very tiny needles, meticulously following your hair loss pattern. The PRP stimulates inactive hair follicles to enter the active growth phase. The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Many Treatments Are Required?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree to four PRP sessions in total — one every four weeks — are recommended for optimal results. To maintain results, repeat sessions may be required every 6–12 months. Studies have shown a significant increase in the rate of hair growth between the third and sixth months after treatment, with hair density peaking at approximately 3 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen Will I See Results?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing most patients notice a few weeks after PRP treatment is a decrease in hair loss. Over the following months, you will notice thicker hair in the areas of treatment. Many patients begin seeing visible improvement by the third session, with cumulative benefits continuing afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is a Good Candidate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatients with thinning hair — but not total baldness — are the best candidates for PRP treatments. Studies have been conducted in men and women suffering from mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia (hereditary male or female pattern baldness) wishing to improve the quality and fullness of their hair. PRP cannot treat complete baldness, as hair follicles need to be present to be stimulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDoes it Hurt?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is minimal discomfort during treatment. We recommend taking Tylenol before your treatment and ensuring you are well hydrated. At Healthy Skin Centre, we ensure your comfort using cool air, vibration, or a local numbing cream for sensitive patients. Most patients report no pain following treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore Your Treatment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend avoiding the following for at least 7 days before your treatment, as they increase the risk of bruising: ASA, NSAIDs, fish oil, garlic, and wine. We also recommend drinking at least 1 litre of water and being well hydrated in the 24 hours before your PRP treatment. Do not stop ASA if you are taking it for a medical condition as recommended by your doctor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAfter Your Treatment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can resume normal activities immediately after treatment. We recommend taking a warm shower to stimulate your scalp and circulation approximately 12–24 hours after treatment. You may apply gels to your scalp 24 hours after your PRP treatment, but avoid harsh chemicals and dyes for at least one week. Some bruising may occur and will resolve naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePricing \u0026amp; Packages\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 Treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e $850\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 Treatments:\u003c\/strong\u003e $2,450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose Healthy Skin Centre for PRP?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide range of PRP treatment options — including PRP with microneedling, PRP with direct injection, and PRP with topical prescriptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographic progress tracking so you can clearly see the results of each treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll PRP treatments performed under the supervision of our physicians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOver 20 years of experience in cosmetic dermatology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo get started, call us at \u003cstrong\u003e604.553.7546\u003c\/strong\u003e to book an appointment.
