PRP Toronto-Treatment For Hair Loss

by

PRP-hair

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma.

PRP is also a non-surgical treatment option for men and women with concerns of hair loss.

How does it work?

Dr. Ellis will take 8 ml of blood from your arm and use a special machine to spin it down to get the platelet rich plasma. Through an injection machine and with a tiny needle like that oscillates rapidly, the PRP is rapidly tapped one or 2 mm into the scalp.

The high concentrations of growth factors found in your plasma stimulate the growth of the hair follicles.

These growth factors are injected in the scalp area and once the growth factors stimulate hair follicles that are in the telogen (resting) phase of hair growth, they will change these follicles into its  anagen or  growth phase.

During the month the growth factors will stimulate the  follicles and hair should grow approximately 1 half of an inch per month.

These treatments are virtually painless with virtually no down time, and no disruption to your daily routine.  There is usually no noticeable swelling in the area.

Dr Ellis at Lasting Looks Clinic in Toronto will perform 3 PRP sessions at approximately 1-month intervals.

The full effect of your treatments will be seen over a 3-6 month period. It is recommended to continue yearly sessions to maintain your results.  For more information go to:  https://www.lastinglooks.ca/prp-stem-cell.php

 

PRP Toronto- What Is It?

Kim Kardashian  made headlines when she publicized her first treatment of PRP on National TV.  Platelet Rich Plasma is also referred to as PRP.

PRP is performed by taking 8ml of blood from your arm, and then placing it in a centrifuge , and spinning it at a very high speed. This process will separate and reduce the blood into platelet rich plasma.

Using a special  machine with a very fine oscillating needle the PRP injections are then tapped into the skin at a depth of 1-2mm. These injections may be done anywhere on the face including under the eyes,  lips and into the  scalp.

One of the reasons it works so well is that not only does it contain natural growth factors, but it also contains a heavy concentration of platelets from your own blood,  This produces and  promotes new collagen to form in the treated area of the skin.

The PRP treatment is done in 3 sessions, one every 2-4 weeks.

There is no downtime with PRP. After your treatment you may notice small red dots in the injection site for a few hours. There is usually only minimal unnoticeable swelling if any.

As a bonus, because the derivatives are from your own body there is no chance of an allergic reaction or product rejection.

Dr. Ellis from Lasting Looks Anti Aging Clinic in Toronto provides this treatment to numerous happy patients. Your full results will be seen in about 3 months after your 3rd treatment. The PRP effect will last 1-2 years.

Yearly maintenance is recommended to maintain your results.
