PRP & PDO Thread Combination Therapy

---

PRP is in the category of regenerative autologous treatments, which means it comes from your own blood and can stimulate cellular regeneration and tissue repair. Platelets are one of the cells in our blood and when activated, they can release growth factors and other proteins.

A small amount of blood is drawn in the office at the time of the procedure. Your blood is then spun in a specially designed centrifuge which separates the platelets and plasma from the rest of the blood. The platelets are isolated and then injected back into the body wherever their benefits are needed. 

PDO threads stimulate new blood vessel formation, collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, and trigger a massive release of growth factors. PRP (Plasma Rich Platelets) therapy uses growth factors extracted from your own blood as a “fertilizer” for the follicle, helping to strengthen, multiply, and protect new cells. 

There is minimal to no downtime after the restorative procedure. The entire process may take 2 hours, and several sessions may be necessary. After receiving combination therapy, a person can usually return to their regular activities without any limitations. 

Research shows a significant reduction in hair loss, as well as new hair growth just one month after treatment! 

PRP & PDO Thread Combination therapy is not a cure for conditions that cause hair loss. For this reason, a person would need to receive multiple treatments over time to maintain hair growth results. The same is true of medications that are commonly used to treat androgenetic alopecia, such as topical minoxidil (Regaine) and oral finasteride (Propecia).

Our recommendations for how often a person should have combination therapy will vary depending on a person’s condition and the results of their initial treatment. We may suggest having maintenance injections every 3-6 months once hair loss is under control.

Because the injections are platelets drawn from your own body, it is rare to have an allergic reaction. However, both men and women may experience some minor side effects from the injections that should go away in about four to six days, including:

• swelling
• redness
• bruises
• scalp tenderness

Some rare complications may include:

• infection
• scarring

This can be discussed during your consultation with us. We strive to make each session more affordable by accepting cash, all major credit cards, and healthcare financing through Cherry credit.
