Do you have **hair loss concerns**? Hair thinning and hair loss can affect men and women. Areas of thinning hair can decrease your confidence, and a receding hairline can make you look older than you feel. That’s why [Persimmon](https://www.persimmon.life/) offers a [treatment](https://www.persimmon.life/pricing) that stimulates hair growth and restores your hair. Let’s take a closer look at **hair rejuvenation**.

## What is Platelet Rich-Plasma Hair Rejuvenation?
If you have hair thinning or hair loss, you’re not alone. Men may experience hair thinning at the crown of the head or start to see a receding hairline, while women may notice hair thinning at the temples or other areas on the head. Hair loss and hair thinning can be caused by stress, illness, medication, genetics, or aging.

**Platelet Rich Plasma** (**PRP**) **therapy** has been used in medical treatments for a number of years. It can treat joint injuries and speed recovery by stimulating cell growth, cell repair, and tissue regeneration. PRP therapy for hair loss helps reactivate hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving hair health. It also encourages hair thickness to turn back the clock on hair loss. 

PRP therapy uses natural components of your own blood to enhance stem cell growth and restore hair loss. The platelet-rich plasma contains growth factors that stimulate the body’s natural healing process, repairing damage and promoting new cell growth.

## How PRP Therapy Works
PRP treatment starts with a small blood draw. We’ll collect a small sample of your blood, similar to a blood draw for lab tests. Then we spin the blood in a sterile centrifuge to separate the plasma from the rest of the blood. The plasma we use for treatment contains platelets, proteins, growth factors, and other molecules that stimulate cell growth and natural hair regeneration. 

After the platelet-rich plasma is separated from other components in the blood, we’re ready for the next step. We apply a topical anesthetic to the scalp to reduce discomfort, and then we inject the plasma into the scalp, targeting areas of concern. The plasma encourages cell growth and strengthens hair follicles to promote hair thickness and hair growth. 

## What to Expect After Treatment?
After treatment, you can continue with your normal routine. You won’t need to plan any downtime or recovery time. It’s best to avoid hair products for the rest of the day, avoid washing your hair for 24 hours, and use a gentle shampoo for the first few days following treatment. You may experience some swelling or redness at the injection sites. It’s a sign that the body’s natural healing process is starting. 

For most clients, we recommend several appointments, usually spaced about 6 weeks apart. You’ll start to see new hair growth and hair thickness in about three to four months. As your hair grows, you’ll see even more benefits for up to a year following treatment.
