PRP Hair Loss Therapy in Vancouver

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is an effective and minimally invasive treatment for hair loss. It uses the body’s natural regenerative abilities to improve hair density and quality.

Luminary Health in Vancouver offers PRP for hair loss and for improving hair density and quality. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood to concentrate the platelets, which are then injected into the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

The possible benefits of PRP include improved hair density, reduced shedding, and a revitalized hair appearance. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and personalized to your needs, with a focus on safety and expertise.

Read on to learn more about PRP hair loss treatments at Luminary Health.

WHAT IS PRP HAIR LOSS TREATMENT?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is derived from your own blood and contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors. Initially used in medical fields such as orthopedics and dentistry to promote healing, PRP has been adapted for cosmetic use, particularly in hair restoration.

While Health Canada has not reviewed the safety or efficacy of PRP treatments for hair loss, it does classify PRP treatment as a “drug” treatment. This means there are strict regulations that those who administer PRP treatments must follow. Only authorized practitioners are permitted to prepare and administer PRP.

WHAT CAUSES HAIR LOSS?

Nutrient deficiencies such as iron, protein, collagen, minerals. Iron deficiency is a very common cause of hair loss.
Thyroid disorders
Auto-immine conditions
Excessive hair dyeing, bleaching, extensions
Recent past infection such as Covid can cause transient hair loss
Stress

The hair rejuvenation journey at Luminary is unique as we consider all angles to hair loss, from laboratory testing, diagnosis, and treatment to ensure sustainable hair growth and optimal results.

HOW PRP WORKS?

PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, treatment involves drawing a small amount of your blood and processing it to concentrate the platelets. These platelets are then injected into your scalp to release growth factors that may rejuvenate hair follicles, improve blood flow, and possibly encourage hair regrowth. This process may help to reduce hair shedding and potentially increase hair density, which could lead to a fuller and healthier-looking head of hair.
