Hair loss is a complex issue that varies from person to person, with factors like genetics, age, and health all playing a role. At Sports MedSpa in San Diego, we offer PRP injections as a regenerative therapy that can promote the health of your scalp and hair follicles.
As a physician-owned practice, we combine athletic performance and aesthetic treatments under one roof. We provide effective solutions like PRP injections that target the underlying causes of hair loss, to support the wellbeing of our patients. We look forward to helping you achieve better hair growth and scalp health.
PRP injections are most effective if you're in the early stages of hair loss and have already addressed underlying issues like hormone imbalances or medication side effects. If your hair loss continues despite managing these factors, PRP could be a helpful option to encourage hair regrowth by revitalizing your follicles.
Typically, we recommend starting with three to four treatments for thinning hair, spaced about four to six weeks apart. After that, we’ll likely suggest maintenance treatments every few months to keep your results on track. The exact number can vary depending on your situation.
You might notice some early signs of hair growth a month or two after your PRP injections, but it usually takes about three to six months to see more significant improvements in thickness and density. Hair growth is a gradual process, so patience is important as your follicles respond to the treatment.
Most patients find PRP for hair loss to be relatively comfortable. We use a fine needle for the injections, and if you're concerned about discomfort, we can apply a numbing agent to your scalp beforehand. Any discomfort you feel should be brief and manageable.
After your PRP session, it's best to avoid washing your hair for at least 24 hours. Giving your scalp a little time to heal is helpful, so try to avoid harsh hair products and activities that cause sweating for a few days.
