Why PRP Hair Loss Treatment is Better Than Hair Transplant Surgery
For decades, painful and expensive hair transplant surgery was the only effective solution for thinning hair and hair loss. But, while hair transplants can offer good results, it requires invasive surgery that is extremely time consuming as well as costly.
The good news is that a new, 100% natural hair loss treatment is now available at Better U Medical Spa for residents of the greater Englewood, Hoboken, & Hackensack, NJ area. Using the patient’s own plasma “PRP” hair loss treatments restore hair growth without requiring surgery, and with no downtime.
PRP hair restoration uses the patient’s own “platelet-rich plasma” extracted from their own blood. This technology has been used in joint regeneration medicine for decades. It is also the cellular repair mechanism behind the famous “vampire Facial”
Now, PRP is also being used to naturally and non-surgically stimulate hair re-growth. In this article Dr. Hetal Gor explains the advantages of minimally invasive PRP hair restoration treatments over traditional hair transplants surgery.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment is Faster than Hair Transplant Surgery
During hair transplant surgery the hair follicles are removed one area of the patient’s scalp (that still has hair growth) and then the doctor surgically implants each individual hair follicle “one-by-one” into the area of thinning hair or hair loss.
This process is extremely time consuming, as well as very painful – requiring thousands of “pokes” to insert each individual hair follicle. This also creates a problem for patients without thicker areas of hair from which follicles can be harvested.
But during PRP the entire area of hair loss is treated at once, with either PRP injections or microneedling. PRP hair loss treatments typically take less than an hour – which is much faster than the tedious process of transplanting hundreds of individual hair follicles.
No hair follicles need to be removed and transplanted during PRP treatments. This not only makes the PRP process much faster and less painless than hair transplant surgery – it also does not “rob Peter to pay Paul” by removing hair from one area to fill in another.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment Has No Downtime
After tedious hair transplant surgery, patients must take extreme care not to dislodge or disrupt the implanted hair until it “takes root.” Additionally, hair transplants often initially have the classic “doll hair” or “hair plug” appearance until the transplanted follicles “fill in” and can blend with the existing hair.
PRP hair restoration, however, naturally activates normal hair re-growth process so the hair fills in the thinning areas in the patient’s original, natural growth pattern. No one can tell that anything has been “done” and there is never any “plug” or “doll hair” appearance with PRP treatments.
And, PRP stimulates natural hair re-growth, there is no downtime, no recovery period, and no special care must be taken to protect the hair follicles.
PRP Hair Loss Treatment is More Affordable than Hair Transplants
According to medical survey website RealSelf, the average cost of hair transplant surgery is around $7,000 nationwide – with hair transplant costs as high as $15,000 in NYC and the greater Hoboken and Hackensack, NJ area.
PRP hair restoration is a much more affordable option, at a fraction of the cost of a hair transplant surgery!
Natural PRP Hair Loss Treatments are Safe for Almost Everybody
Many people are simply not good candidates for hair transplant surgery, even if they can afford it. Patients with immune issues, certain medical conditions, bleeding disorders, or who are taking blood thinners, or some other medications are not eligible for hair transplant surgery. Additionally, patients who are prone to scarring, should not undergo hair transplant surgery.
PRP (“platelet-rich plasma”) hair loss treatment, however, is a minimally invasive procedure that is safe for almost everybody. Because PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood there is no risk of rejection, complication, allergic reaction or infection. And, PRP’s natural healing mechanisms actually help prevent scars from forming.
In fact, PRP hair loss treatment is so safe that is can be used by pregnant or nursing women who have experienced pregnancy hair loss (telogen effluvium), as well as by cancer patients who have lost hair due to chemotherapy. (Always consult your personal physician first!)
