PRP Hair Treatment in Leicester
PRF therapy works by injecting the patient’s own concentrated platelet-rich Fibrin into the hair follicles, which stimulates and reactivates dormant or weakened hair follicles to produce thicker and healthier hair.
How Does PRF Hair Treatment Work in Leicester ?
The process begins with a simple blood draw from the patient’s arm; this is then placed in a centrifuge machine which separates the red blood cells from the plasma. The PRF is then injected into the scalp using a very fine needle, allowing the platelets to be delivered directly and efficiently to where they are needed.
Thanks to this process, hair follicles are nourished and stimulated in the scalp, resulting in an increase in blood flow to the area. PRF hair treatment typically requires a series of 2-3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, and results may vary from patient to patient, but all will be discussed during your initial hair loss consultation at your nearest Este UK clinic.
What can PRF Hair Treatment help with?
- Menopause Hair Loss
PRF therapy has been shown to be a highly effective hair loss treatment for those suffering from menopause-related hair loss. The procedure helps to stimulate the scalp and repair damage caused by hormones, providing thicker, fuller hair.
- Post-Hair Transplant Stimulation
After getting an FUE hair transplant, we use PRF injections to stimulate the newly transplanted hair follicles. This helps to shorten the healing time and increase the rate of successful grafts.
- Male/Female Pattern Baldness
Platelet-rich-plasma therapy is an effective treatment for both female and male pattern baldness, as it helps to stimulate and repair damaged hair follicles. We will need to assess the stage of pattern baldness you are at before we can decide on the best treatment plan for you.
- Alopecia
At Este Medical Group, we have treated a number of alopecia sufferers with PRF therapy and have seen significant improvements in the thickness and growth of hair. This proves hair PRF treatment to be incredibly effective in reversing the effects of alopecia.
- Thinning Hair
PRF therapy is an effective treatment for thinning hair, with many patients seeing significant improvements in their condition after receiving the treatment. PRF is a better option if you have thinning hair rather than going for an invasive hair transplant surgery.
