PRP and Exosomes for Hair Growth in Santa Monica

Gradual hair loss can affect your self-esteem and make you less confident with your looks. All men and women undergo a gradual thinning of the hair as they get older. Changes in metabolism, age, and stress levels can all affect the growth cycle of the hair on the head. Male and female hair loss can be improved by stimulating blood flow and hair follicles. A closer look at exosome and PRP therapy for hair loss is a good option for people who are looking for a natural and conservative option for hair thinning,
 
Platelet rich plasma and exosome therapy are both effective in stimulating hair follicle growth in adult men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate hair loss. PRP and exosome contain mixtures of growth factors which can help boost follicle production, follicle density, and rate of hair growth.
 
The first step in PRP hair restoration begins with a thorough consultation to determine whether you are a candidate for PRP or exosome therapy. Depending on the severity of your hair loss, Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian and his clinical staff may recommend PRP alone or in combination with exosomes. Exosomes are non-blood-derived growth factors that can further stimulate hair activity. Patients undergoing a PRP procedure will begin with our nurse staff drawing your blood and centrifuging it to extract out the platelet rich portion that has the greatest abundance of stimulatory factors. The PRP is then injected into the scalp using tiny needles. Most patients will report some mild discomfort that is transient in nature.
 
PRP and exosomes in our Santa Monica plastic surgery practice can help stimulate hair follicles, increase the density of active hair growth, and increase the caliber and quality of the hair that is growing. This is a nonsurgical solution with minimal downtime and recovery.  If you have had a previous hair transplant, PRP and exosome therapy can further help improve the degree of hair follicle stimulation.
