Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy has been FDA approved and utilized for over 30 years for advanced wound healing. Now, we are seeing exciting results with Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for hair growth and anti-aging of the face. A patient’s blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets to a specific concentration effective for hair growth. Dr. Yates uses a specialized centrifuge that consistently gives concentrations of platelets at 4-7% of normal blood count.
"Not all PRP is created equal"
The platelets are then activated and injected back into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles. This process stimulates the body’s own growth factors and stem cells to slow hair loss, reverse miniaturized hair to produce a strong, visible hair again, and if used at the time of a hair transplant, it encourages faster graft growth. This has been very effective for both men and women.
