EFFECTIVE REGENERATIVE HAIR LOSS TREATMENT BIRMINGHAM

PRP therapy, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, is a regenerative medicine treatment that is used to promote healing and reduce pain in various areas of the body. PRP is created by drawing a small amount of the patient's own blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The resulting PRP solution is then injected into the targeted area to stimulate the body's natural healing response. PRP therapy can be used for a variety of conditions, including joint pain, tendonitis, ligament injuries, and even hair loss. It is a safe and effective alternative to surgery or medication for many patients. Find out more.

This depends on what treatment you are referring to of course, as PRP treatment can treat many different areas. Within musculoskeletal practice, platelets work to stimulate repair and healing. Within hair restoration, platelets within PRP treatment release bioactive growth factors that stimulate dormant hair follicles via a complex biological process. Further information can be found here.

PRP treatment is an especially safe treatment option with no risk of allergic reaction because it is your own blood. However, anytime a needle is placed in the body, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, and nerve damage, but this is extremely rare. See latest clinical research here. Hair restoration here.

The whole procedure is around 30 minutes. However, the treatment is very fast, depending on the area being treated.

High amounts of good quality evidence-based medicine support the treatment of PRP, along with its safety, efficacy and success. This evidence exists in many different areas of treatment. It is also worth noting that research takes time to expand in a relatively new area and is expensive, but this being said further solid research is being produced regularly. Particularly, the treatment of PRP versus standard conventional drug treatments. See latest clinical research here. Hair restoration here.

PRP injections are very simple and associated with only mild discomfort. The vast majority of patients, only report mild discomfort that is well tolerated and short-lived. Following treatment, only mild discomfort is normally experienced, which is extremely well tolerated, and does not require any downtime.

PRP treatment is a natural, safe and effective treatment option for many pain conditions, including hair loss. The benefits of PRP treatment compared to other treatments includes safety, reduced downtime, improved outcomes long term and no drug use.

Here are some of the benefits of PRP treatment:

1. Reduced pain: PRP can help reduce pain and inflammation in joints, tendons, and muscles. It can also improve mobility and range of motion.

2. Faster healing: PRP contains growth factors that can stimulate the body's natural healing process, leading to faster recovery times.

3. Non-surgical: PRP is a non-surgical option for people who want to avoid invasive procedures like surgery.

4. Customised: PRP can be tailored to the individual patient's needs, making it a personalised treatment option.

5. Natural stimulation of hair follicles.

6. Promotion of skin collagen stimulation.

Standard UK prices for PRP injection treatments range from £200-£450. Here at Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, our PRP treatments range from £185-195. This is because we are the UK distributor for iStem PRP, which fortunately keeps our prices low.

This depends on what you are treating and the severity of what you are treating. When using PRP for injury treatment, the healing process begins almost immediately. However, reduction in pain can vary from 1-4 weeks. Often, more than one treatment of PRP may be needed.

Within hair restoration, we expect to see reduced hair fall in 1-3 months, and improved hair regrowth between 3-6 months.

Results can be obtained from 1 treatment, however, often a course of treatment may be recommended. We go by clinical experience and what the clinical literature recommends, and that is a course of up to 3 treatments, 3-6 weeks apart.

Within hair restoration, it is recommended to do a course of 4 treatment initially, 1 treatment per month. Then to work on a maintenance and preservation routine.

No downtime is associated with PRP treatment. The majority of patient carry about their normal business immediately after treatment.

With joint of soft tissue injections, it is recommended to take things relatively easy following treatment and avoid strenuous activity the day if the treatment. Advice and recommendations will be provided from your clinician.

The growth factors immediately bind to the external surface of the cell membranes of cells in the graft, flap, or wound via transmembrane receptors. The importance of this is that the PRP growth factors never enter the cell or its nucleus, they are not mutagenic, and they act through the stimulation of normal healing, just much faster. Therefore, PRP cannot induce tumour formation and has never done so.” (Marx, RE, 2001), (Schmitz, et al, 2001).

As with any injection procedure, there is always associated risks including infection. However, this is extremely uncommon, as full aseptic techniques are used at all times.

PRP is bactericidal (a substance that kills bacteria). While platelets are increased in PRP processing so are leukocytes (white cells that fight infection) over 6 to 8 times. This is one reason why PRP is so effective in wound healing. Not only do the increased levels of leukocytes enable the body to fight off infection they have a dual purpose. After platelets initially release their growth factors, leukocytes produce a secondary release of growth factors to promote healing.

Both cortisone (corticosteroid) and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are both very beneficial treatments for joint pain and injuries, but they work in different ways. Cortisone is a steroid injection that reduces inflammation in the joint, providing pain relief. However, cortisone injections are only a temporary solution and can have negative side effects if used too frequently. PRP, on the other hand, uses the body's own platelets to promote healing and regeneration in the joint and of damaged tissue. This treatment is a more natural and long-lasting solution for joint pain and injuries. At Dynamic Regenerative Medicine, we specialise in PRP treatments for joint pain and injuries. Our team of musculoskeletal professionals use the latest technology and techniques to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness. Further information can be found here:

What Is The Difference Between Cortisone & PRP Injection, and what is the most effective? (dynamicregenmedicine.co.uk)

Only mild discomfort is associated with PRP therapy. It is reported by patients to be very quick, well-tolerated and very short-lived. If needed, a local anaesthetic can be used. Any post treatment soreness again is well tolerated and short-lived.

No, most patients can resume normal activities on the same day of the treatment. If there is some post treatment soreness, we just say to take it easy until things have settled down.

The beauty of the treatment is that no aftercare is required other than shampooing your hair the next day. It is not necessary to sleep in any particular position or refrain from any normal activity. Its is just asked to keep the area clean and reduce sweat and physical activity for 24 hours to reduce the risk of infection.

Results are normally seen within the first two months. Less shedding of hair has been observed in less than one month with peak effect coming at 4 months to 6 months.

To date, there have been high amounts of very encouraging positive results in both men and women. Because women have fewer treatment options, they tend to experience less shedding within a few weeks and an improved character to their hair sooner than men, because most men having PRP done are already on other therapies. Most patients, both men and women report an improvement in hair density, and condition and reduced shedding. Most patients will see an improvement in the character of hair quality, thickness and less shedding.

Yes, various different hair loss treatments will only compliment the progress. This is because its mechanism of action is different and when used in combination with treatments such as minoxidil, DHT blockers, or phototherapy. The combination of hair loss treatments often have a synergistic effect. This making it more beneficial in many cases.

No, it is very uncommon for shedding to occur after treatment, in fact - we expect to see a reduction in hair fall. It is not unusual for shedding to continue or even increase when first starting a treatment like minoxidil eg Regaine, or Finasteride. Hair follicles may increase in growth rate or increase diameter while in the growing stage, but hair can't undergo a noticeable change in size during the early stages. The reason for this is that the follicles must go into dormancy or the telogen “resting” phase so they can begin to restructure their processes to produce thicker, stronger hair. On very few occasions hair can go through 'shock loss' in some people. This, however, should only be temporary.

If hair loss does occur, then you would be asked to go through further investigations.

Improvement in hair character, decreased shedding, and increased aesthetic hair density is reported in androgenic alopecia, telogen effluvium and alopecia areata. However, we have seen improvements in all types of hair loss.

Yes, PRP treatment can be very beneficial following a hair transplant. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a concentrated solution of your own blood platelets into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. This treatment can help to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall health of the scalp, which can lead to improved hair growth following a transplant. However, it is important to note that PRP treatment should only be performed by a qualified medical professional.
