PRP for Hair Loss is Best Kept Secret in Dermatology

Are you experiencing hair loss? Many people (especially men) are experiencing some level of hair loss and balding as early as their 20’s, but new research suggests that PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) can be used to increase hair regrowth!

This is caused by the highly concentrated growth factors that are found in Platelet Rich Plasma. There are 7 growth factors contained in PRP that help stimulate the stem cells around the hair follicles.

While this option isn’t for everyone (if you’re completely bald for example), it is beneficial to those who are in the thinning stages, especially combined with treatments like Minoxidil and Propecia
