What are some common causes of hair loss?

Many men and women experience hair loss, which can take several forms. Some people notice a receding hairline, while others see thinning hair at the crown of their heads. You can have random bald or thinning patches or areas of scaling skin that causes hair loss. 

Some of the causal factors of hair loss include:

• Genetic predisposition
• Hormonal changes
• Certain medications or treatments
• Medical conditions like alopecia
• Certain hairstyles
• Periods of intense emotional stress

While you can prevent some hair loss by being gentle with your hair, managing medications, and quitting smoking, some types of hair loss cannot be avoided. Fortunately, treatment can help.  

What role does PRP play in hair loss treatment?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a solution created from a small volume of your blood. A lab process separates the solid components of blood from the liquid plasma, allowing the platelets to be isolated and returned to the cleared plasma. 

This creates a powerful solution rich in proteins called growth factors, which help promote new cell development, including hair growth. When injected in a grid-like pattern across your scalp, PRP can prompt your body to grow new hair. 

A treatment called Acell® combines the power of stem cells with PRP to deliver an impressive cell renewal effect. The approach uses a unique material that creates a scaffolding effect to allow beneficial cells to gather in the area where you desire new hair growth. PRP injections prompt the cell regeneration process. 

How long does it take to see results from hair loss treatment?

It takes time for your body to respond to hair loss treatment and begin creating new hair growth. Once hair cells begin forming, they stack atop one another, eventually exiting the scalp where they become visible. 

While you might see early improvements in hair growth, expect to wait several months before the full effects are apparent. Most people benefit from a series of treatments to achieve optimal results.
