Scalp Hair Restoration using Platelet Rich Plasma - Lori Ward, CRNP | West End Plastic Surgery

PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, is a cutting edge form of regenerative medicine. Processed from you own blood, PRP is rich molecules and proteins that provide nutrients to the skin's cells - causing regenerative effects where needed. PRP therapy is a perfect treatment to stimulate hair growth where thinning or complete absence of hair can be observed.

At West End Plastic Surgery, we use specialized EmCyte Centrifuge/Tubing systems that allow us to obtain the highest platelet percent yield - 81%! Specialized tubing systems allow us to obtain the purest form of PRP as well, with virtually no Red Blood Cells mixed in.

Here is what a typical PRP Therapy session looks like - watch as our medical assistant prepares the PRP and our Certified Nurse Practitioner, Lori Ward, uses the processed PRP to treat patient's scalp for hair restoration.
