PRP is suitable for men and women who wish to treat male pattern hair loss or female pattern hair loss. Ideal candidates for Toronto PRP hair treatment are non-smokers with no history of drug or alcohol abuse. If you’re considering PRP therapy, it is important to ensure you are in good medical health before treatment. Those who have been diagnosed with platelet dysfunction syndromes, acute and chronic infections, liver disease, anti-coagulation therapy, cancer, metabolic or any blood disorders may not be suitable candidates and should speak with their primary physician.

PRP has been used safely and effectively for over twenty years and although PRP for hair growth is a relatively recent development, studies indicate that it is a safe and viable non-surgical treatment option for hair restoration. It is also an incredibly natural procedure because it utilizes the patient’s own blood cells. As such, there is no risk of infection or chance of immune system rejection. In addition, the natural approach means that the resulting hair growth blends seamlessly with the patient’s existing hair.*

This minimally invasive outpatient procedure can be completed in as little as 60 to 90 minutes and requires no downtime. Because the treatment doesn’t require sedation, you can resume normal day-to- day activities such as driving immediately following the procedure. You may return to work immediately after, though the area may be temporarily reddened and swollen. An even better reason to choose PRP hair restoration at MAC BEAUTY CENTER is that this non- surgical procedure does not cause scarring, so the source of your hair restoration will be undetectable.

Patients troubled with hair loss may wish to combine PRP therapy with other hair loss treatments such as Minoxidil or DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blockers. While it is an excellent option for individuals who do not wish to undergo surgery, PRP may also be effective when used post-operatively, as it stimulates the growth of newly implanted hair follicles.
