Introduction to PRP for Hair Loss

For many people, their hair is their confidence. People spend so much money on the right color, cut, and style. However, with age, stress, and environmental factors, hair loss is inevitable, and once it starts, there is a limit to how much you can manipulate it to give you that perfect look. World cultures have thought up everything from hair oiling to tapping to wake up dormant hair follicles. But it turns out that one of the most promising treatments lies within you – in your own blood. Dual board-certified aesthetics provider Dr. Mai Kaga offers PRP for hair loss in Red Bank, NJ, where PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, a platelet-rich concoction that is injected back into the scalp to stimulates the follicles and, thus, promotes hair growth. 

The Kaga Academy is located in Red Bank, New Jersey, and conveniently treats patients from Colts Neck, Little Silver, Fair Haven, Rumson, and other surrounding areas for hair loss. Whatever township, city, or county you’re coming from, we look forward to helping you reclaim your hair!

What is PRP for Hair Loss?

Platelets are specialized cells in our blood that form a mesh at the site of a wound to seal it up. They are the major clotting agent when we get a cut or a wound. Their healing powers have been harnessed in the world of cutting-edge athletics, where sports medicine has used platelets in healing tendons, ligaments, and joints. By drawing blood and purifying the sample, doctors can isolate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into a powerful serum. This serum is then reinserted into our body at the site of an injury to help accelerate the healing process.

Like its use in the athletic world, a PRP serum can also be used to stimulate the dermal papilla cells found proximal to hair follicles on our scalp. Once these cells are activated, our hair follicles start secreting higher levels of beta-catenin, the specific protein responsible for sparking new hair growth. This process is natural and non-invasive. To learn more about the wide array of possibilities presented by platelet-rich plasma, contact us at The Kaga Academy of Aesthetics & Concierge Medicine.

Get Started

What’s the First Step?

The first step to receiving a treatment of PRP for hair loss in Red Bank, NJ, is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mai Kaga at The Kaga Academy of Aesthetics & Concierge Medicine. She will talk to you about your hair loss concerns, medical history, aesthetic goals, and expectations. She will also examine your scalp, zeroing in on the target areas and techniques to assuage the condition. If you both agree that this treatment is the most ideal for you, she will draft a treatment plan for your PRP for hair loss.

Once you have your plan, please take it to our patient concierge, who will help you schedule the treatment, discuss payment options, and share a tailored list of instructions to help you prepare for PRP treatment. These directions may advise you to quit smoking and stop taking certain medications or supplements that impede proper circulation. Plasma health is vital to the success of PRP, so please adhere to any detailed pre-treatment instructions.

What to Expect on the Day of a PRP for Hair Loss Procedure

On the day of your treatment of PRP for hair loss in Red Bank, NJ, Dr. Kaga and her team will welcome you and get you settled in the treatment room. They will go over your treatment plan once more and begin the first stage of the treatment – drawing the blood and preparing the plasma. 

We will gently draw a small vial of your plasma. This sample is then placed in a centrifuge, which rapidly spins the blood. The centrifugal forces will separate the plasma into three distinct densities: red blood cells, low-platelet blood, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The PRP will be separated and pulled into a syringe, which will then be used to inject it into your scalp at the predetermined target areas. If you are concerned about the prickly sensation of the injection, we can put a topical analgesic for your comfort.

Once your provider injects the PRP, the platelets should move towards the dermal papilla cells below the surface where new hair growth originates. As mentioned earlier, platelets are expert communicators; they send complex chemical signals to surrounding cells and other platelets to create a vibrant network of subdermal support.

PRP for Hair Loss Recovery

This treatment has no downtime. While the PRP for Hair Loss procedure will not prevent you from doing most normal activities, it is important that you rest. We also recommend that patients refrain from washing their hair for the first twenty-four hours after treatment and avoid sun exposure.

The scalp tenderness might take a few weeks to fully abate but can be minimized with over-the-counter pain medication.
