Hairloss Treatment with PRP
As we age, visible signs such as hair loss and bald spots can impact our self-image. Fortunately, advancements in technology have enabled effective solutions without the expense and recovery time associated with surgery. Crystal Fontenot ANP-BC is proud to offer PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) hair restoration to patients in Lafayette and the surrounding areas of Louisiana.
What is PRP Hair Restoration?
PRP hair restoration utilizes a patient's own blood to promote hair growth on the scalp. After filtering the blood to isolate the platelet-rich plasma, this PRP, abundant in growth factors and proteins, is injected into areas with dormant hair follicles. This technique is a popular and effective treatment for both male and female pattern baldness.
Who is a Candidate for PRP Hair Restoration in Lafayette?
PRP restoration is ideal for individuals with active hair follicles who want to slow hair loss, particularly those with androgenic alopecia. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as blood disorders.

How Does PRP Hair Restoration Work?
How Many Treatments Are Required?
The PRP hair restoration process is straightforward and typically completed in under 30 minutes. Your provider will draw a small vial of blood and use a centrifuge to separate the blood components over 10 to 15 minutes, isolating the PRP. After applying a mild topical anesthetic to the scalp, the PRP is injected into the targeted areas. While some mild discomfort may be experienced, the procedure is generally safe with minimal side effects, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately afterward.
The number of PRP treatments needed varies by individual, but typically, three injections spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended. Your surgeon may also suggest complementary lifestyle changes or products to enhance treatment outcomes.
