Hair loss has many causes, including genetics, age, hormonal changes, stress, diseases like alopecia areata, and more. While it is not generally painful, it can be emotionally distressing and lead to a lack of confidence.
Luckily, hair loss treatments are available to treat patients struggling with hair loss. The Bucay Center for Dermatology and Aesthetics provides two professional hair loss treatment options: Eclipse PRP. If you’re interested in growing thicker, fuller hair, learn which options may be right for you.
What is Eclipse PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, which is your own platelets harvested in a small amount of plasma. When applied to the targeted areas, it can release growth factors that aid in treating hair loss.
Your platelets are harvested by collecting a small amount of blood, which is then placed in a centrifuge. This process separates the blood from the platelets so it can be applied to the targeted areas of your body.
Ideal Candidates
Those who will benefit the most from PRP are patients who are in the early stages of hair loss because there are still detectable hair follicles. Patients with alopecia areata would not experience benefits from this form of treatment.
