Hair Restoration with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Natural, Safe & Effective
Hair loss can have a dramatic impact on a person's appearance and self-esteem. Millions of Americans suffer from male- or female-pattern baldness. Angell Medical Spa is one of the few clinics in Sacramento to offer this natural, safe, and effective treatment for hair restoration using platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
How does it work?
PRP therapy works by using a sample of your own blood, spinning it in a centrifuge, and then extracting the plasma. The platelets present in plasma cells promote hair growth by releasing healing proteins to boost the body’s natural healing process. The plasma is carefully injected in areas of hair loss, causing the dormant follicular tissues to not only regenerate but also improve the quality of new hair. Patients typically see results within two to three months of starting the treatment. This process is minimally invasive and cost effective.
