The latest innovation for hair restoration!

Male and female pattern hair loss is a genetic problem that can leave you feeling helpless. Now there is an affordable way for you to regain your hair density back without surgery or harmful side effects. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration involves a simple injection of your own platelets into the vascular layer of your scalp.

Platelets contain healing growth factors. Those growth factors are like signal callers that give instructions to your tissue to regenerate and multiply. This has lead different fields of medicine to utilize PRP for wound healing to speed up recovery time and regrow healthier, stronger tissue. Now doctors have discovered new benefits for hair thickening and regrowth. With PRP for Hair, your growth factors and stem cells work together to reverse the miniaturization of the hair follicle and jumpstarting dormant hair back into the growth stage.

PRP treatments stimulates hair growth through vascularization and angiogenesis, and encourages hair follicles to extend the duration of the anagen phase of the growth cycle.

All hair grows in a cycle that consists of four stages; (1) Anagen Phase - Growing Phase, (2) Catagen Phase - Transition Phase, (3) Telegen Phase - Resting Phase, and (4) Exogen Phase - Shedding Phase. Around 50-85% of hairs are in the Anagen Phase/Growing Phase at one time. However, everyone’s hair grows differently depending on age, weight, metabolism, hormones, hair thickness, medications, ethnicity, etc.

Women lose hair for a variety of reasons, among them environmental factors, such as sun exposure, as well as body metabolism, hormones, and iron and thyroid levels. Female pattern hair loss may occur at any age with varying severity and becomes clinically detectable in about 3% of women by age 29, in 13% of women by 49, 19% by 69, and in 25% of women over 69. Clinical severity and progression tend to be more intense with earlier onset. The first complaints are typically a thinning ponytail, scalp visibility, and a gradual thinning of hair density on the central scalp. 

Male patten baldness, Androgenetic alopecia as it’s technically known in medicine, is the most common cause of hair loss in men. Approximately two-thirds of men will experience some level of hair loss by age 35, and by age 50, nearly 90 percent will notice significantly thinning hair.

PRP therapy for hair loss is shown to increase blood supply to the hair follicle, triggering natural hair growth. Growth factors found in PRP include several intracellular structures such as glycogen, lysosomes and alpha granules that promote the healing and repair process. These help to reawaken the activity of the hair follicles and promote new hair growth. The use of PRP is scientifically shown to increase hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the hair cycle.

Growth Factors & Effects:

• Transforming Growth Factor (TGF): Promotes angiogenesis, which is the physiological process involving the synthesis of new blood vessels. 
• Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF): An important signalling protein involved in both angiogenesis, promoting the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. 
• Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): Promotes angiogenesis, granulation, and epithelialization. 
• Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF): Attracts macrophages and fibroblasts to the application site. Promotes collagen growth and proteoglycan synthesis and the formation of the extracellular mix, also known as fibrin mesh. 
• Interleukins, Macrophages, Keratinocytes, Endothelial Cells, Lymphocytes, Fibroblasts, Osteoblasts, Basophils, Mast Cells: Activates fibroblast differentiation. Induces collagen and proteoglycan synthesis for healthy cell production and repair of damaged tissues. 
• Collagen Stimulating Growth Factor: Stimulates granulocyte and macrophage proliferation for the growth of healthy tissue and blood cells. 
• Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF): Keratinocyte migration, differentiation, and proliferations may optimize conditions.

PRP for hair regrowth begins with a standard blood draw from the patient’s arm. The tube of blood is put into a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. Then the plasma, rich in platelets, is removed from the tube and used directly on the client’s scalp at the hair follicles. And because the autologous platelet-rich plasma is produced from a patient’s own blood, there is virtually no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. 

At TLC we encourage correction, prevention and maintenance of your skin. With nearly three decades of experience in the beauty industry, we are always looking into the future. Our goal is to offer our clients the latest state of the art technologies so we may be able to offer the best possible services to meet their ever-changing needs. We are fully committed to providing the safest and most advanced treatments available. 

Treatments are typically performed monthly for the first three to four months, and then every three to six months thereafter. This schedule is optimal for stimulating hair growth factors and stem cells associated with reducing hair loss. 

The PRP system we utilize is leading the market in safe and effective treatments for health and wellness. It is an extremely safe procedure that can provide a natural and effective alternative to the many of the manufactured or surgical treatment options on the market today that are being used to treat everything from facial rejuvenation to hair loss and beyond.

Most clients prefer to wash their hair before the appointment as you will not be able to wash your hair for the following two days after the treatment.

IMPORTANT:

Please advised your Medical Aesthetician if you are taking Vitamin K, or any supplements with Vitamin K as it's a contraindication.

After a treatment, most clients feel burning and stinging for five to 15 minutes. Any discomfort is temporary. Generally, clients experience redness from two to four days post treatment, whereas some completely heal within 24 hours. This allows the PRP to continue being absorbed into the hair-bearing scalp.

Clients can resume regular activities immediately but cannot wash the treated areas, and not use shampoo’s with active ingredients, such as dandruff, or engage in rigorous exercise for 48 hours. It is not recommended to use any active ingredients on the treated area, such as Retinol or scrubs, for at least 72 hours. Avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours.
