Your hair is a form of self-expression. You style it a certain way, take time to care for it, and hope others see you as you do. Our hair is an aspect of our appearance that we can lose for various reasons. Pregnancy can negatively affect hair growth, causing thinning and hair loss, and men experience genetic forms of hair loss, such as male pattern baldness. Sometimes we just lose our hair due to age. If you find that you are unhappy with your hair loss, it may be time to consider PRP for hair loss in Troy.
Your Girlfriend the Plastic Surgeon®, Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell, is here to help you regain your hair’s natural fullness or help you fix your receding hairline. She will explain your non-surgical options and help you choose the best treatment plan for your needs. Our plastic surgeon listens to your concerns and goals, making you feel integral to your care plan and ensuring your voice matters in your aesthetic journey.
There are three main sources of growth factors. Synthetic growth factors are manufactured in a laboratory. Exogenous growth factors come from an external source, such as exosomes (tiny vesicles that help cells communicate), other biological materials, or, in some cases, plants. Endogenous growth factors are obtained from your own body by isolating them from your blood, separating them, and using them as needed.
PRP therapy for hair loss in Troy uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help activate your growth factors. It is a form of regenerative medicine that delivers growth factor proteins that may help stimulate your body to regenerate tissues such as hair.
It is important to understand the limits of PRP therapy for hair loss. If you have thinning hair, rather than complete baldness, we consider you a suitable candidate for this treatment. Thinning hair indicates that there are still follicles available for the PRP to engage with. We recommend that our patients in Troy pursue platelet-rich plasma therapy as soon as they experience hair loss, as delaying treatment could reduce the procedure’s effectiveness.
Patients in Troy will require multiple sessions to yield results for hair loss. Your session begins with drawing your blood and using a centrifuge to separate the elements.
Separation results in three products: packed red blood cells, platelet-poor plasma, and platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is injected into the target region of your scalp to stimulate recovery and encourage hair growth. PRP may be administered alongside microneedling, another technique that stimulates the release of your body’s natural growth factors.
You deserve to feel confident and bold as you face daily challenges, but if you are unhappy with your hair loss, it can negatively impact your self-esteem. Contact us and schedule a consultation to learn more about PRP for hair loss in Troy and regain your confidence. You can look and feel your best, with a little help from Your Girlfriend the Plastic Surgeon®, Dr. Danielle DeLuca-Pytell.
