Beber Plastic Cosmetic Surgery
People lose their hair in many ways and at Beber Plastic Surgery we know how tough it is to see your hair thinning or falling out. We’ve talked to our patients about many different treatment options over the years from topical treatments to more complex procedures. PRP for hair in Toronto is one of the most promising new treatments. It gives hope to patients who haven’t had success with traditional treatments or who want to avoid surgery to get their hair back.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated part of your own blood that has growth factors and proteins that can make cells work harder. When we inject this concentrated plasma into your scalp it sends biological signals that may wake up dormant hair follicles, make existing hair stronger and make your scalp healthier overall. The treatment doesn’t add anything new to your body or block hormones; it works with your body’s natural healing processes. A Tummy Tuck tightens the abdomen by removing excess skin and strengthening weakened muscles. It creates a smoother, firmer midsection, especially after pregnancy or major weight changes. Many choose a Tummy Tuck to achieve a more defined silhouette.
The first step is to take a small amount of blood from your arm. We put the blood in special tubes and spin them in a centrifuge that spins very fast to separate the different parts. This concentrates the platelets by putting them into a smaller amount of plasma. This makes a solution that has many times the normal amount of growth factors. While we get your scalp ready for treatment, the whole process takes roughly ten to fifteen minutes. We use very fine needles to inject your PRP into areas of your scalp where hair has thinned or where the quality of your hair has decreased. Based on how you lose hair and where it needs the most attention we target certain depths and patterns. Most patients do well with the injections especially since we can use numbing treatments to make them less painful. The injection takes about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the area we’re treating.
After PRP for hair treatment things happen slowly over time. The growth factors start to work with cells in and around your hair follicles. This can reduce inflammation, increase blood flow to the scalp and get follicles to start growing again. Hair grows slowly so you have to be patient. Most people don’t see big changes for at least 3 months but they get better for 6-12 months. A Mommy Makeover combines personalized procedures to restore the body’s appearance after pregnancy. It may include breast enhancement, body contouring, or abdominal tightening. A Mommy Makeover helps individuals regain confidence and a more refreshed look.
We’ve seen different reactions to PRP for hair treatment at our Toronto office. Some people see a lot of new hair growth and thicker hair while others see small changes in the thickness and quality of their hair. Results depend on many factors like how much hair you’ve lost, how long you’ve had it, your age, your overall health and why your hair is thinning. We discuss these factors honestly during consultations because we want our clients to know what to expect.
For best results we usually recommend a series of PRP treatments. Most procedures require 3-4 initial treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. After the initial series we generally recommend maintenance treatments every few months to keep the results going. Hair loss is a progressive condition so you may need to manage it to keep the benefits you’ve gotten.
Many patients like that PRP for hair uses their own biological material. There are no drugs made in a lab or chemicals from other countries. People who are worried about the side effects of some traditional hair loss treatments or who just prefer to work with what their body can already do like this natural method.
The quality of the PRP preparation is very important for hair restoration. We use the right tools and methods at Beber Plastic Surgery to ensure we’re making a concentrated platelet solution with the best growth factor levels. We pay attention to every step of the preparation process because the treatment’s effectiveness can be affected by the concentration and purity of the PRP.PRP for hair works best when hair follicles are there but not working as well as they used to. It’s not as good in areas where follicles have completely gone away. That’s why we thoroughly examine your scalp during consultations to see if you’re a good candidate for treatment. We look at how you’re losing hair, how good the hair that’s still there is and discuss your history to make informed recommendations.
If you’re in Toronto and losing your hair, PRP is worth considering especially if other treatments haven’t worked well for you. Book an appointment to talk about your issues and have us examine your scalp to see if PRP for hair might help. We’ll also discuss your goals and expectations to see if this regenerative treatment is right for you.
