What it Treats:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a natural substance within your blood that is responsible for clotting and healing of wounds on the body.
It has been found to promote higher rates of healing and regeneration when injected or is able to penetrate the skin surface.
At Copper Aesthetics, we use PRP therapy for hair loss in Traverse City to stimulate hair growth and thicken your existing hair. These quick and affordable injections take just a few minutes and do not require any downtime.
How the Treatment Works
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s platelets to accelerate healing and restore hair follicles.
First, the doctor draws blood from the patient’s arm and then separates the PRP from the rest of the blood’s components.
The PRP is then injected into multiple places under the skin. The platelets break down and release their growth factors, which trigger the natural processes of cell proliferation and tissue renewal.
The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, and most people can resume their normal activities immediately afterward.
