PRP Hair Regeneration

Both men and women can experience hair loss, and it can greatly affect self-confidence and daily life. Losing the full head of hair you once had can change how you feel about your appearance.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair regeneration at Lubbock Family Medicine is a non-surgical procedure that uses the stem cells and growth factors from your own blood to trigger the growth of hair from resting or miniaturized hair follicles.

  • Who it is for: Men and women who are experiencing hair loss and want a non-surgical treatment that uses their own blood to stimulate new hair growth on the scalp.

Understanding hair loss

Hair loss can appear in many different ways, depending on what is causing it. It can come on suddenly or gradually, and it can affect just your scalp or any part of your body.

Some types of hair loss are temporary, and others are permanent.

There are many different hair loss treatments available, both at-home and in-office. Platelet-rich plasma treatment is one of them.

Signs and symptoms of hair loss

Signs and symptoms of hair loss include:

  • Gradual thinning on top of the head
  • Circular or patchy bald spots
  • Sudden loosening of hair
  • Patches of scaling that spread over the scalp

How PRP hair regeneration works

PRP therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment that uses your own blood to stimulate new hair growth on your scalp.

  1. Your blood is drawn

    A sample of your own blood is drawn.

  2. The blood is processed

    The sample is then processed.

  3. PRP is injected into the scalp

    The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into your scalp.

Why platelets?

Blood is made up of white blood cells, red blood cells, and plasma. Plasma is the fluid part of your blood that carries and suspends blood cells and nutrients to the rest of your body.

Platelets are tiny cells that automatically rush to wherever there is an injury in your body to plug up any bleeding, form a clot, and then repair any damage.

Platelets are also rich in growth factors, which stimulate tissue recovery by helping to increase blood flow. These growth factors are also known for enhancing and stimulating hair follicles, which is why platelet-rich plasma treatment is so effective.
