Hair Growth Therapy
Hair growth therapy is a medical aesthetics treatment used to promote hair growth and improve hair thickness for men on the scalp and beard areas and women. It uses a patients own blood plasma to kick start the growing process and gives strength and protection to already established hair follicles. PRP works by slowing down the progression of baldness, enhancing the healing process, promote regrowth in balding areas and stimulating hair growth in established areas. PRP Hair therapy is a great confidence booster as it can aid in regaining fullness in thinning areas.
Who can hair growth therapy help?Hair growth therapy can help many individuals suffering with hair loss or hair thinning. It can be particularly beneficial for:
Androgenetic Alopecia - the most common cause of hair loss in both males and females. This is often caused by genetics and referred too as a 'receding hair line'. Males can also experience loss of hair on the crown and vertex of the scalp. Treatments can slow down the progression of hair loss and stimulate hair growth.
Alopecia Areata - a condition characterised by the sudden loss of hair in patches. Usually caused by an underlying autoimmune disease. Therapies may promote hair follicle regrowth in patchy areas.
Thinning hair - Individuals that are not suffering with complete hair loss, but have noticed some thinning in certain areas of the scalp and beard. Therapies can assist this by promoting growth and making the hair thicker, whilst also protecting the established folicles.
Postpartum Hair Loss - Many women experience hair loss after pregnancy due to changes in hormones post birth and post breastfeeding. Therapies will help regain the fullness of pre pregnancy hair, making hair thicker whilst protecting established hair.
Scarring Alopecia - This kind of hair loss causes scarring on the scalp, which prevents new hair growth.
Individuals with Recent Hair Transplants - Hair Growth Therapies is often advised to use after hair transplant surgery to enhance the healing process and support the new hair to grow. Often patients who have transplants overseas are unable to gain this service as part of their package. At Luxi Lemon we are able to support this clients in their new hair recovery.
What is the process of hair growth therapy?Hair Growth therapy is considered to be a safe and minimally invasive procedure with very few side effects. The treatment may be uncomfortable for some, but should not be painful.
Blood Draw. We will insert a small needle into the crease of your arm and withdraw a small amount of blood for the plasma harvesting.
Centrifugation. Your blood sample will then be places in a centrifuge machine, which will spin at high speeds for 4 minuets to separate the plasma from the blood cells.
Injection The plasma is then injected into the scalp or beard, particularly into the areas experiencing thinning or hair loss, to stimulate the follicles and promote new hair growth.
Follow-up TreatmentsPatients will typically require multiple treatments within a few months to maximum results. We recommend 4 - 6 treatments within a 6 month period and then top up treatments every 6 months to keep the hair looking full.
How long until I start seeing results?
Whilst hair growth therapy is extremely effective for most, the results can vary from person to person. Generally individuals will start seeing results within 3 months, providing treatments are carried out regularly. It is important for each individual to discuss their treatment options with our healthcare professionals to determine the most appropriate course
