Often associated with men, alopecia also affects 3 % of women in their twenties, 17 % of women in their forties and 25 % of women over 60. The consequences on appearance are different for men and women, although for both they are a source of complexes that can be serious.
Men lose their hair zone by zone and often become bald. For women, it's a generalized thinning of the hair. A falling hair is the result of an atrophied blood vessel, which impairs hair growth and results in the death of the hair follicle.
There are several possible reasons for hair loss. Firstly, heredity plays a major role. Also, lack of antioxidants, hormonal changes such as pregnancy and menopause, as well as shocks related to operations or emotional shocks, certain illnesses, stress, etc. can also cause the acceleration or onset of alopecia.
WHY CHOOSE PRP TO TREAT HAIR LOSS?
The efficacy of this treatment has been scientifically demonstrated in men and women suffering from hereditary hair loss (androgenic alopecia), or stress- or medication-related hair loss (diffuse alopecia).
Activated platelets and growth factors found in plasma stimulate reactivation of the hair bulb (hair root), and help reverse the hair miniaturization associated with baldness. Hair density increases, making it thicker and healthier.
The operating principle of PRP hair is simple. Growth factors are injected into the dermal layer. The platelet-derived growth factor PDGF then stimulates mesenchyme growth. In fact, PDGF signals are involved in the interaction between epidermal follicles and dermal mesenchyme, essential for the formation of the hair canal. Better vascularization of follicles promotes hair development. It increases the size of the follicle and the hair itself.
HOW DOES THE PROCEDURE WORK?
The treatment involves taking a small amount of your own blood (8ml), centrifuging out platelets and growth factor-rich plasma and reinjecting it into areas of hair loss to stimulate growth and improve hair quality.
The PRP treatment for hair loss is spread over 4 sessions every 2 weeks, with a maintenance session every 6 months. A micro-injection gun is used to administer the PRP precisely and comfortably.
IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?
PRP treatments for hair loss have sometimes been regarded by patients under local anaesthetic as uncomfortable or even painful. If you prefer, the procedure can be performed under intravenous sedation.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
After the PRP hair injection session, a moderate inflammatory reaction with swelling and redness may appear a few hours after the session. However, this quickly subsides, and social and professional activities can be resumed immediately.
RESULTS
Results appear progressively in the weeks following treatment. An average increase in density of 25 to 30% is expected. Results vary according to the individual follicular bulb's ability to regenerate.
The advantages of this technique are numerous;
> Simple, non-surgical medical intervention
> Multiple injections: the procedure takes about 60 minutes
> Safe method, reliable results
> Very rapid hair regrowth
