Hair Restoration

in Scottsdale, AZ

Hair loss in men and women can be caused by numerous factors, including heredity, genetics, age, hormonal imbalances, and life events (such as pregnancy and stress). Whatever the cause, thinning hair and complete hair loss can cause people to feel self-conscious.

Instead of feeling frustrated about your hair loss, cosmetic options are available to help thicken and regrow your hair. And one of the most successful and transformative hair restoration treatments is PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections. This nonsurgical treatment effectively increases cell generation in your scalp to help reactivate new hair growth.

At Arizona Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Spies and his team look forward to helping you look and feel your absolute best.

What Are the Benefits of Hair Restoration?

Increased Hair Growth

We tend to think that a full head of hair is indicative of youthfulness, health, and beauty. For patients experiencing hair thinning or loss, hair restoration treatments with PRP injections can help hair regrow to give men and women thick and healthy hair.

Natural Treatment & Results

One of the best aspects of PRP injections for hair restoration is that you can regrow your natural hair, and the method to achieve this is through PRP taken from your own blood. With natural hair restoration, you can expect gradual results with hair growth occurring over time to give you long-lasting improvement.

Improved Confidence

With a head full of natural, thick hair, you can look forward to feeling your best. No longer will you need to feel embarrassed by hair thinning or loss that causes you to cover your hair with hats and other headwear. After your PRP injections, you can find yourself more comfortable and confident in how you look.

What Should You Expect With Hair Restoration Treatments?

Consultation

One of the most important aspects of any plastic surgery procedure or cosmetic treatment is your consultation. At your hair restoration consultation, you will be able to discuss your hair restoration goals, and our specialist will have the chance to evaluate your condition to develop a treatment plan for you.

Anesthesia

For your PRP hair restoration treatment, a topical anesthetic, injection of local anesthetic, or Ice will be applied to your scalp in the area(s) where you are experiencing hair thinning. This will ensure that you do not feel any pain or discomfort during your treatment.

Blood Draw

While you wait for the topical anesthesia to work, blood will be drawn from your arm. This blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets, plasma, and red blood cells.

PRP Injections

After the PRP is separated from the other blood cells, it is put into a syringe. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into various parts of your scalp. The PRP helps to increase the blood supply to the dormant and/or weakened hair follicles, which helps improve growth factors in the hair follicles.

Additional Information

Recovery

After your PRP hair restoration treatment, you will likely experience some redness and temporary numbness at the injection site. These side effects will dissipate within a few hours.

Because of the nature of this treatment, no downtime is required. This means that you should be able to return to your normal, daily activities immediately following your treatment session.

Scars

Hair restoration with PRP uses injections to stimulate the follicles. Because no incisions are made, there are no scars following treatment.

Pain

Since a topical anesthesia can be used for PRP injections, your hair restoration treatment is nearly painless.

Results

PRP hair restoration treatments do not offer immediate results. Instead, you should expect a gradual improvement in the quality of your hair over the next two to three weeks after your treatment. Final results should be apparent after 12 weeks.

How long does PRP hair restoration take to complete?
