Non-Surgical Hair Treatments

What is PRP therapy?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.

Some in the medical community think that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.

There hasn’t been enough research to prove if PRP is an effective hair loss treatment. However, PRP therapy has been in use since the 1980s. It’s been used for problems such as healing injured tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

PRP therapy process

PRP therapy is a three-step process. Most PRP therapy requires three treatments 4–6 weeks apart.
Maintenance treatments are required every 4–6 months.

Step 1

Your blood is drawn — typically from your arm — and put into a centrifuge (a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities).

Step 2

After about 10 minutes in the centrifuge, your blood will have separated into in three layers:
platelet-poor plasma
platelet-rich plasma
red blood cells

Step 3

The platelet-rich plasma is drawn up into a syringe and then injected into areas of the scalp that need increased hair growth.

Benefits of Sunetics for Hair Regrowth

Hair loss is a progressive problem, which means it worsens over time, and it can negatively affect your self-esteem, confidence, personal relationships and career. Every year, thousands of patients start to feel the effects of this problem, and it’s not uncommon for people to try many non-invasive treatments.

Prescription drugs are popular, but they’re not very safe for some women, and they can cause significant sexual problems for some men. Gels and topical solutions require a lifetime commitment and may still not be effective.

The Sunetics laser serves as a better solution for hair loss, and it doesn’t involve side effects, surgery, drugs or discomfort. Since the Sunetics laser heals the follicle, it offers long-lasting results. After undergoing laser therapy, 99 percent of patients experience less shedding, and the problem begins to stabilize.

Over time, 90 percent of patients enjoy measurable hair regrowth. A major benefit of this laser treatment for hair loss is the lack of discomfort, and the Sunetics laser doesn’t use consumable products.

Benefits of PRP for Hair Loss


Another great treatment option for hair loss is PRP, and it uses your own platelet-rich plasma. The science behind this treatment is regularly used for plastic surgery, orthopedics and dentistry.

In fact, some of the most well-known athletes have used PRP therapy for hair loss, and for many years, platelet-rich plasma has been a popular treatment option for progressive hair loss. During this treatment, a sample of your own blood is drawn and modified, and it’s used to activate the blood that flows around your scalp.

Before the procedure, your scalp will need to be numbed, which eliminates unwanted discomfort. Depending on the situation, other ingredients might be added to the PRP mixture. When used for hair regrowth, this treatment option has several benefits to offer.

A major benefit of PRP is that it uses your own blood. After a centrifuge is used to separate the different components of your blood, the platelet-rich plasma is injected into your scalp. Another major benefit of using PRP for hair regrowth is the success rate, which is very high.

In many cases, the platelets can reverse or stop a patient’s hair from thinning, and results from the treatment appear over the span of multiple months. A gradual process is better for hair regrowth because it gives you time to adjust to your new hair. It also provides natural-looking results.
