PRP FOR HAIR LOSS TREATMENT

The SELPHYL® System

At Sandia Skin + Face, we used Next Generation PRP – Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) from SELPHYL®.

They designed the SELPHYL® System for the safe and rapid preparation of Platelet-rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) from a small blood sample at the patient’s point of care. Many PRP systems require operator skills, have varying results, and have extensive contamination of red blood cells and white blood cells. SELPHYL® removes virtually all contaminating cells and is independent of the operator technique. They converted PRP to PRFM through a controlled process, creating a scaffold that protects and preserves platelets.

The SELPHYL® System is a completely closed system and can convert PRP to PRFM with the addition of a precise amount of calcium chloride, which starts the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin as part of the clotting cascade. The fibrin matrix serves as a three-dimensional scaffold to maintain the platelets at the site of injection. The scaffold also serves to protect the platelets to sustain their release of growth factors over a longer time.

WHAT ARE PRP FOR HAIR LOSS TREATMENTS?

PRP INJECTIONS (PLATELET-RICH PLASMA), also known as “autologous conditioned plasma.”PRP INJECTIONS (PLATELET-RICH PLASMA) is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from whole blood, centrifuged to remove red blood cells.

Professionals use PRP for various tissue engineering applications in bone, cartilage, skin, and soft tissue repair. We have reviewed PRP to serve as a source for the “delivery of growth factors and/or cells within tissue-engineered constructs, often in combination with biomaterials.”

There are four general categories of preparation of PRP based on its leukocyte and fibrin content: leukocyte-rich PRP (L-PRP), leukocyte reduced PRP (P-PRP; leukocyte reduced or pure PRP), leukocyte platelet-rich fibrin, and pure platelet-rich fibrin.

The Power of Platelets

Platelets and other components in human blood migrate to a site of injury. We know platelets to release various growth factors that respond to tissue injury, initiating and promoting healing. By concentrating platelets at the site of injury, physicians have the potential to enhance the body’s natural capacity for healing.

WHAT AREPRP INJECTIONS (PLATELET-RICH PLASMA)?

PRP, by definition, refers to platelets in plasma, where the platelet concentration is twice the normal concentration in whole blood. Nowhere in the definition of PRP is there a description for including red blood cells (RBC) or white blood cells (WBC).We should remove these cells as much as possible from a PRP preparation.

Some kits that tout high platelet concentrations do so at the expense of having contaminating RBCs or WBCs—they know these cells to have inflammatory and catabolic effects—just the opposite of the desired result. If the PRP in the syringe has any tinge of pink or red, you are most likely injecting a preparation with RBC contamination.

SANDIA SKIN + FACE
PRP FOR HAIR LOSS TREATMENT

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to speed up the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints. In this way, PRP injections use each patient’s own healing system to improve musculoskeletal problems.

First, the doctor draws blood from the patient’s arm and then separates the PRP from the rest of the blood’s components.

After injecting lidocaine to numb the treatment area, the doctor carefully injects the PRP into multiple places under the skin. The platelets break down and release their growth factors, which trigger the natural processes of cell proliferation and tissue renewal.

The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, and most people can resume their normal activities immediately afterward.

Since these cells are unspecialized, they can convert into any cell the body needs, such as damaged tissue, cartilage, or bone. Another critical difference between the two therapies is that PRP helps restore or speed up the body’s existing healing process. In contrast, stem cell therapy is used to regenerate tissue that is lost.

After such care, results typically last a minimum of nine to 18 months. However, the benefits can last as long as two years, depending on aging, sun exposure, and genetics. The time variation is because everyone’s body metabolizes fillers differently.

We get PRP using the patient’s blood, similar to having blood drawn for a lab test. That blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the red blood cells from the white blood cells and platelets. We then inject the concentrated platelets back into the patient at the site of injury or pain.

According to the American Red Cross, PRP is greater than or equal to 5.5 × 1010 platelets per 50 mL. PRP translates to a two- to sevenfold increase in platelet concentration compared with that of whole blood. The average human range of platelet concentration is 150 000 to 450 000 platelets per µL of whole venous blood.

We have used PRP technology for years in surgical applications and wound care.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Tonya is amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable and really listened to my concerns about my skin. She really cares and knows what she is doing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!! I was concerned my first appointment but I just had my third and I can say it’s so worth it!!! Botox has been an incredible experience and I’m so happy to have tried it, I’m so much happier with my appearance and it looks incredibly natural. I’ve included before and after photos, neither photo is filtered or edited, you can see how makeup would collect in my forehead, and how the after it’s smooth and looks so lovely. It doesn’t feel weird or like I can’t move my muscles at all, it feels super natural. One of my biggest concerns was that I wouldn’t be able to emote with Botox but that’s just not true at all. I feel so confident and that is thanks to Tonya!

PRP FOR HAIR LOSS TREATMENT
PROCEDURE PREP

Before your PRP Injections (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment session, our physician will discuss what to expect during your treatment. However, it is helpful to remember that there are a few things to take into consideration before your session:

  • At least three to four days before your procedure, discontinue anti-inflammatory medications.
  • One to two weeks before your procedure, discontinue any blood-thinning herbs, supplements, or vitamins.
  • One to two weeks before your procedure, discontinue systematic steroids
  • At least one month before your procedure, stop steroid injections
  • On the day of your procedure, eat a full, healthy breakfast and be sure to drink plenty of water
  • Please be advised that if you take chronic oral steroids, a discontinuation plan will need to be discussed with your primary care provider as abrupt stoppage may cause side effects.

PRP FOR HAIR LOSS TREATMENT
AFTERCARE

After your treatment session, we recommend that all patients rest on the day of their procedure. We advise limited use of the treatment area for the next two days, but the movement is encouraged. Limited use helps the joint recover as the treatment is absorbed by the area’s surrounding tissues.

0 – 3 days post-procedure guidelines

  • After your treatment, there is a chance you’ll experience some mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment site. Discomfort is normal, and it is a sign that your body is healing as it adjusts to the treatment.
  • It is best to stay hydrated and drink plenty of water to help promote healing.
  • You mustn’t take ANY medications following your procedure unless specifically directed otherwise by a physician. NO medicine is a must because any drug can affect the healing process or other adverse effects.

Therefore, discontinue use of any of these medications post-procedure for best results:

  • Anti-inflammatory medications for at least two weeks post-procedure
  • Blood-thinning herbs, supplements, or vitamins for 3-4 days post-procedure
  • Systematic steroids for two weeks post-procedure
  • Other important guidelines to follow after your procedure are:
  • Avoid applying ice or heat to the injection site for the first 72 hours post-procedure
  • Don’t take a hot bath or go to a sauna for the first few days post-procedure
  • Avoid consumption of any alcoholic beverages for the first week post-procedure
  • Avoid showering for the first 24 hours following your procedure
  • Limit caffeine consumption for the first week post-procedure
  • Avoid smoking

3 – 14 days post-procedure guidelines

  • At this point in your healing, you should gradually increase your daily activities.
  • 3 to 14 days is also when you can begin exercises. Proper exercise is a vital part of long-term results, and we can help you determine which exercises are best suited for your needs before your procedure.
  • Ice can be applied 3-4 times a day for 15-20 minutes as needed for comfort
  • Anti-inflammatory medications (such as Tylenol) can be taken to help manage any residual pain at this time, take as directed
  • Continue to avoid alcoholic beverages, smoking, or excessive amounts of caffeine

3 – 4 weeks post-procedure guidelines

  • We highly encourage you to begin physical therapy to aid in your long-term healing and continued recovery at this point in your healing.
  • A follow-up appointment will be made for you to meet with our physician to review your healing process. You must keep this follow-up visit even if your recovery is going well.
  • If there are any adjustments to your customized treatment plan, this is when our physician will be able to make those decisions.
