Did you know that by 50, around 85% of men will experience balding, and more than 50% of women experience balding at some point in their lives? While this is evidently a problem that many people encounter, a lot of people suffering from this condition are embarrassed or self-conscious and want to do something about it. This, in turn, prompts a surge in innovative treatments.

With plenty of treatments on the market, we wanted to highlight one of the options available here at ASC. Today, we ’re putting the spotlight on PRP Bioregenerative Scalp Treatment, an advanced solution for hair loss. We’ll explore the science behind PRP and guide you through the procedure at ASC. By explaining the numerous benefits and sharing the best aftercare tips, we want to empower you with the knowledge to decide whether this is the best path for you.

The Science Behind Bioregenerative Scalp Treatment

Hair loss affects both men and women at varying stages of life, but it’s a topic rarely discussed openly. Its causes may differ significantly, ranging from hormones and medications to stress as well as hair loss after illness. While topical treatments are still recommended, the scientific advancements in the field have led us to Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), the powerhouse of hair follicle stimulation.

PRP is a concentrated substance derived from your own blood, teeming with platelets that stimulate healing and regeneration. These platelets house growth factors and cytokines that our bodies naturally produce. The science behind the treatment is straightforward. Simply put, your blood is collected and then centrifuged to separate and harvest PRP, which is then injected into the areas of the scalp with hair loss.

Is PRP Scalp Treatment Right for You?

Those suffering from thinning hair often make the ideal candidates for PRP treatments. Nevertheless, it’s useful to underline that PRP doesn’t create new follicles; instead, it stimulates and strengthens existing ones. If follicles have already died, unfortunately, PRP won’t restore them.

If hormones are the root of your hair thinning, you may prefer treatments addressing hormonal issues. Pharmaceuticals like Rogaine or Minoxidil can also be recommended, and in more severe cases, patients may consider our hair transplant in Jersey and Guernsey. It all depends on the cause of your hair loss, any medical conditions you may be suffering from, and your personal preferences. It’s also important to consider the potential contraindications for PRP, which include pregnancy, breastfeeding, and active scalp infections.

If you’re interested in our PRP treatment in Guernsey and Jersey, then it’s best to consult with our trusted dermatologists to be sure; we’ll happily discuss your options and point you in the right direction.

What to Expect During Your Session at ASC

At ASC, we strive for your comfort and well-being throughout the entire procedure, which typically lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. Here’s a brief rundown of what you can expect:

A topical anaesthetic is applied for 20 minutes to numb the area before treatment to make sure you experience minimal discomfort. Blood is then drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the PRP; finally, the PRP is injected into the scalp at the sites of hair thinning and loss.

Understandably, after treatment, the area treated might be sore and slightly pink, but don’t worry, as this doesn’t last long.

The Benefits of PRP

One of the main reasons patients choose PRP is because it offers real, achievable results that become visible within 3-6 months post-treatment. Let’s take a look at more of the benefits:

• Minimally invasive. Compared to surgical hair restoration procedures, PRP involves a simple outpatient procedure with reduced recovery time.
• Natural approach. PRP uses your body’s platelets to potentially improve hair growth, eliminating concerns about reactions to synthetic materials.
• Enhances hair quality. PRP treatment may also rejuvenate hair by potentially improving hair strength and sheen.
• Helpful for various hair loss conditions. PRP can be beneficial for patients with various types of non-scarring hair loss, such as androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.
• Safe and well-tolerated. When performed by experienced providers, PRP treatment has a low risk of side effects and complications, making it a safe option for many hair loss sufferers.

With these many advantages, there’s no surprise that PRP is one of many male cosmetic procedures on the rise.

Keeping Your Scalp Healthy Post-Treatment

After treatment, keeping your scalp clean and healthy is essential. We recommend avoiding washing your hair or using hair products for 48 hours after the PRP treatment and not colouring your hair for two weeks. It’s also important to note that colouring your hair weakens the follicles anyway, so it’d be best to avoid this altogether to achieve excellent results.

Depending on individual circumstances, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 6-12 months, but we can discuss this during your consultation and on the day of your treatment. On top of this, like almost all other cosmetic procedures, a healthy lifestyle and diet can assist your body in optimising the effectiveness of the PRP treatment.
