PRP Hair Loss Treatment

Latest Advancements in PRP Hair Loss Treatment Available in New York City

New York City has long been recognized as a hub of innovation, with a reputation for being on the cutting edge of art, fashion, medicine, and aesthetic treatments. Boasting some of the world’s top medical institutions, New York City is at the forefront of developments in fields such as dermatology and hair restoration.

Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City’s Upper East Side is a renowned dermatology practice that constantly pushes the boundaries, making it a go-to destination for those seeking the latest in aesthetic treatments. Recently we became one of the first and only dermatologists to offer our Manhattan patients revolutionary PRP hair loss treatments – combined with exosomes – for superior hair restoration results.

Hair loss affects more than 80 million Americans – with many pursuing ineffective treatments and snake-oil ‘miracle cures’ to restore hair growth. However, Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and exosomes are two emerging, science-based hair loss therapies that have actually shown significant results in promoting hair regrowth.

In this article, the hair loss experts at Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City explain the science behind PRP and exosomes, and how they can be used sequentially to effectively treat hair loss in men and women.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment for Male & Female “Baldness”

Androgenetic alopecia – called ‘male pattern baldness’ and ‘female pattern baldness’ – is the most frequent cause of hair loss in both men and women. This form of hair loss affects an estimated 50 million men and 30 million women in the United States alone.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) hair loss treatment involves the injection of a patient’s own concentrated platelets, extracted from their own blood, into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. PRP hair loss treatments use the same technology employed in sports medicine for joint regeneration, and in celebrity-favorite “Vampire Facial®” skin rejuvenation.

PRP hair loss treatment has been found to be effective for reversing the hair loss of androgenetic alopecia, in both men and women. Several clinical studies have shown the efficacy of PRP in treating hair loss. For example, a randomized controlled trial conducted in 2019 found that PRP significantly improved hair density and thickness in men and women with androgenetic alopecia (a common form of hair loss) compared to a placebo group.

Male or female pattern baldness is caused by genetics and hormonal changes and is characterized by a gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp. PRP therapy works by promoting the re-growth of hair follicles and improving the blood supply to the scalp.

But Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City takes PRP hair loss treatments to the next level with the addition of exosomes. Exosomes are cellular particles obtained from that contain proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that can promote tissue regeneration and repair. They are typically isolated from stem cells and can be injected into the scalp to promote hair growth. Exosomes have been found to be effective for androgenetic alopecia, as well as for some other types of hair loss including alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium.

Dr. Goldenberg and other leading edge hair restoration experts have found that when PRP and exosomes are administered sequentially, their benefits in reversing hair loss are even greater.

PRP Hair Loss Treatment for TE

Telogen effluvium (TE) is a form of hair loss that is usually triggered by stress, hormonal changes, or both. Many pregnant women suffer from TE, and during the pandemic the physical and emotional stress of COVID-19 also lead to an increase in TE hair loss among both men and women.

Telogen effluvium (TE) is characterized by excessive shedding of hair “all over” rather than in concentrated areas like male pattern baldness. Recent scientific research revealed the effectiveness of PRP and exosomes for treating TE hair loss.

One study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2018 found that PRP was effective in improving hair density and reducing hair shedding in the majority of patients TE. Another study published in the International Journal of Trichology in 2019 investigated the use of exosomes for treating TE hair loss. That study found that exosomes also improved hair density and reduced hair shedding in all of the studies patients.

How PRP Hair Loss Treatment Works

PRP is a concentrate of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood. Platelets are a type of blood cell that play a crucial role in the healing process by releasing growth factors and other proteins that stimulate tissue regeneration. The PRP preparation process involves drawing blood from the patient, spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components, and then concentrating the platelets into a small volume of plasma.

PRP works by injecting concentrated growth factors into the scalp, which promotes hair growth by stimulating hair follicles to transition from the resting phase to the growth phase. PRP also increases blood flow to the hair follicles, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen for hair growth. Furthermore, PRP has anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce inflammation in the scalp, a common cause of hair loss.

How Exosome Hair Loss Treatment Works

Exosomes are small particles secreted by cells that contain various growth factors, proteins, and genetic material. Exosomes play a critical role in cell-to-cell communication and have been shown to have regenerative properties. Exosomes can be obtained from various sources, including stem cells, platelets, and other cells.

Exosomes are a relatively new treatment option for hair loss, but several preclinical studies have shown their efficacy in promoting hair growth.

Exosomes treat hair loss by delivering growth factors and other bioactive molecules to hair follicles, which can promote hair growth by activating dormant hair follicles and stimulating the proliferation of hair cells. Additionally, exosomes have anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce inflammation in the scalp.

Sequential Use of PRP & Exosomes for Hair Loss Treatment

The sequential use of PRP and exosomes for treating hair loss is a revolutionary approach to hair loss treatment that combines the benefits of both therapies. PRP can be used to stimulate hair growth by delivering growth factors and other proteins to hair follicles, while exosomes can be used to provide sustained delivery of growth factors and other bioactive molecules.

Several studies have reported on the combined use of PRP and exosomes for hair loss treatment. A study published in 2020 showed that combining PRP and exosomes derived from adipose tissue stem cells led to significant improvements in hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia. Another study published in 2021 showed that the sequential use of PRP and exosomes derived from platelets and adipose tissue stem cells led to better hair regrowth outcomes than PRP or exosomes alone.

The hair loss experts at Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City stay on the cutting edge of hair restoration research and are among very few dermatologists in the entire country offering the sequential use of PRP and exosomes for treating hair loss.

Pain-Free PRP Hair Loss Treatment

Because PRP and Exosome hair loss treatments are naturally derived from the body’s own cells, there are virtually no known risks or side effects when performed by a trained and experienced dermatologist. However, some patients simply don’t like the needles used to inject the PRP and Exosomes.

Goldenberg Dermatology in New York City has solved this problem, as well, with another leading-edge innovation in injectable treatments. We offer the new CoolHealth TargetCool technology that anesthetizes the treatment area during any of our aesthetic treatments that involve injections.

The TargetCool device uses a unique combination of cooling and vibration to numb the treatment area. Applied to the skin simultaneously with the needle, TargetCool desensitizes the skin and reduces pain with ‘cryoanesthesia’ that ensures a comfortable experience.
