Questions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eIs PRP therapy for hair loss effective:\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eResearch on PRP therapy has shown that PRP injections reduce hair loss and increase the diameter of hairs and hair growth density. These studies reported that PRP treatments led to hair regrowth, particularly in those with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow does the procedure work?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eFirstly, the treatment area on the scalp will be numbed with a local anaesthetic. A qualified phlebotomist draws blood from a vein in the arm. The blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the blood, separating its components. The platelets are extracted using a syringe. At Aesthetica, we use the Vital Injector 2 for injecting the platelets into targeted areas of the scalp. The entire process may take about 1 hour, and several sessions may be necessary. After receiving PRP treatment, a person can usually return to their regular activities without any limitations.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eHow long do the results of PRP last?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003eA person would need to receive 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Also, to maintain hair growth results, follow-up treatments will be necessary every 6-12 months. PRP therapy results may vary and depend on a person’s condition and their initial treatment results. It is important to remember that PRP is not a cure for conditions that initially caused hair loss. Thus, a consultation with our medical professional might be necessary to address the initial cause of hair loss.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWhat are the side effects of PRP hair loss therapy?\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003ePossible side effects include a headache, mild soreness and swelling at the injection site, and scalp tenderness.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"accordion\"\u003eWho are the ideal candidates that will benefit from PRP therapy?\u003c\/button\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e Moderate hair loss is likely to benefit most from PRP therapy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003eHesseler, M.
