New Treatment Offers Hope for Women With Hair Loss - abcnews.go.com
Stars from Tina Fey to Selena Gomez and Zooey Deschanel rock beautiful hair in TV commercials, but such luscious locks are not a reality for every woman.
A new treatment – PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy – is gaining buzz as a no-surgery, no-drugs and no-expensive-ointment solution for hair loss.
The treatment, which has shown preliminary but promising results, starts at $400 per session.
PRP starts by drawing blood from the patient. The blood then goes into a machine that separates out the platelets filled with growth factors.
Those growth factor-filled platelets are then injected into the scalp to stimulate new-hair growth, decrease hair loss and make the hair grow thicker.
