Hair loss is often thought of as a problem that mostly happens to older men, but in reality it’s a problem that both men and women face and not just when they’re older. Hair loss can result from a number of different factors including stress, hormonal imbalance, medications and genetics. Whatever the reason, the condition is troubling for both sexes and there have been few advancements beyond topical solutions like Rogaine and hair transplant surgery.
One of the more recent and promising methods to address hair loss in men and women is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair restoration, a non-surgical solution and completely natural approach that uses the patient’s own blood platelets to stimulate hair regrowth.
In Westport, CT, Dr. Ellen Mahony offers advanced PRP Hair Restoration treatments to help you regain fuller, healthier hair. This innovative procedure uses your body’s natural growth factors to stimulate hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and improving hair density.
Successful, Simple Hair Restoration Procedure with PRP
The in-office procedure is very simple: the patient’s blood is drawn and then processed in a centrifuge to extract red blood cells, leaving only the platelet-rich serum. This solution is then injected into the patient’s scalp after a numbing cream has been applied. Because the serum is rich in many different growth factors, it stimulates the hair follicles to grow. Schedule an in-office consultation today to see if this exciting new procedure is right for you.
Proper preparation ensures the best possible results from your PRP Hair Restoration treatment. Here’s how to get ready:
- Consultation: Consult with Dr. Ellen Mahony to determine if PRP is right for you.
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from using blood-thinning medications and supplements a few days before the procedure.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to ensure optimal platelet quality.
- Healthy Diet: Maintain a balanced, nutrient-rich diet to support overall hair health.
- Clean Scalp: Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly on the day of the treatment.
Recovery and Aftercare
PRP Hair Restoration requires minimal downtime; most patients can immediately return to their daily activities. However, to maximize results and ensure a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips:
- Avoid Hair Products: Refrain from using hair products for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
- Gentle Hair Care: Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid irritation.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your scalp from direct sunlight for a few days.
- Follow-Up Treatments: Adhere to the recommended schedule for follow-up treatments to maintain and enhance results.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a healthy diet to aid hair growth.
Results You Can Expect
Patients typically start seeing hair texture and growth improvements within a few months after their PRP Hair Restoration treatment. Full results may take six months to a year as the hair follicles are gradually stimulated to produce new hair. Many patients experience:
- Increased hair density and thickness.

- Enhanced overall appearance of hair.
- Long-lasting results with proper maintenance and follow-up treatments.
