Hair Restoration in Puyallup, WA

Both men and women experience thinning hair—at any age, for various reasons. Whether it would be cosmetic or medical, addressing hair loss can be a challenge for many. The technology behind regenerating hair growth has been limited to invasive surgical options or over-the-counter products that often don’t deliver desired results. Thanks to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) techniques, restoring hair growth can now be done naturally—by using your body’s own growth factors. Hair restoration with PRP can help you regain self-confidence and youthfulness.

At Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics in Puyallup, WA, we offer PRP therapy that is currently used in various medical procedures for expedited wound healing, tissue repair, and reconstruction. This same technology can be used to naturally stimulate the growth of hair follicles, resulting in natural hair growth restoration.

At Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics, PRP hair restoration treatments offer a number of excellent benefits that could deliver more radiant, fuller, and thicker locks, including:

• Utilizes your body's natural repair factors
• Stimulates the growth of your natural hair
• Results are natural-looking and may be long-lasting
• Can be suitable for both women and men
• No synthetic substances or medicine
• No surgical procedures or scars
• No required recovery time

Any man or woman suffering from balding is essentially an ideal candidate for PRP hair therapy, while those with early hair loss usually yield the best results. PRP is best suited for patients with androgenic alopecia, an inherited type of hair loss that commonly presents along the top of the head. In women, this could appear as a widening part with average hair thickness on the backside of the scalp. Patients with parts of "poor quality” hair growth of the scalp with still reacting hair follicles usually have the greatest success with PRP hair regrowth treatments.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair restoration is safe and effective. This FDA-approved treatment can improve hair regrowth and thinness as well as decrease hair loss. Our bodies contain the growth factors necessary to make hair regrow stronger and better. Therefore, PRP injections stimulate hair growth by the proteins and growth factors in the platelets that are drawn from your own body reducing the chances of immune system rejections. The proteins in the platelets will activate the inactivated hair follicles causing hair restoration in the treated areas.

At Concordia Star Medical Spa, our patients take advantage of PRP for hair restoration for the following reasons:

• Increased blood supply to the hair follicles in the treated areas
• Decreased hair loss
• Increased hair thickness or volume
• Minimal to no downtime
• Minimal to no side effects

Before your treatment, we will conduct a consultation to develop a treatment plan that works best for you. Our experts will assess your needs to deliver optimal results. When you come in for your treatment, a small amount of your blood will be drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. We then combine your own PRP with ACell technology to maximize its growth effects. ACell is an Extracellular Matrix (ECM) tissue-regenerating technology derived from animals and is used extensively in surgical procedures to enhance wound healing. As a “bio-scaffold”, combining ACell technology with PRP therapy produces new and accelerated hair growth to the areas it is applied to.

This treatment is typically administered by injecting the PRP + ACell mixture into the scalp which takes 1 – 2 hours with little to no downtime, depending on the patient and treated areas. The injection is performed solely by master physician injector Dr. Ladie Araña-Domondon.

Depending on the patient and the treatment areas, we recommend our patients receive PRP hair restoration retreatments within 4 – 12 months (depending on the type of baldness) to achieve optimum results. However, your retreatment plan may be different from other patients. Therefore, our experts will guide you in developing a specific plan just for you.

The side effects of PRP hair restoration are minimal. You may notice some redness, mild headaches, or pinpoint bleeding after the treatment. These side effects are generally resolved after a few hours to days following the treatment.

PRP for hair restoration is a nonsurgical treatment for hair loss and thinning. It is a safe and effective way to give your hair volume or treat bald spots.

Call Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics in Puyallup, WA, today to set up your complimentary consultation with Dr. Ladie. We will review any questions or concerns you may have about our hair restoration services.

Can PRP hair restoration be combined with other hair treatments?

Yes, it can. To address specific concerns and enhance results, many patients combine PRP hair restoration with other treatments like topical medications, microneedling, laser treatments, and more. During your consultation at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics, we will examine your scalp and listen to your concerns and goals to determine the proper treatment type for your needs. Some may see the best results with PRP therapy alone, while others may need multiple complementary treatments.

How often will I get PRP treatments?

In general, most Puyallup, WA patients will have a treatment regimen that includes three PRP sessions spaced one month apart. This can be modified according to your degree of hair loss and treatment goals. For more advanced hair loss, more initial treatments are typically recommended, which can be reduced as you start to see results.

Are the PRP injections painful?

No, most patients do not find PRP therapy for hair loss painful. While your PRP serum is being prepared, a topical anesthetic is used on your scalp to help reduce any possible discomfort from the PRP injections. After the injections, the scalp may feel somewhat numb and/or tingly, but this is only temporary, with normal sensation returning quickly.
