Micro-Needling & Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy With FUE NeoGraft™ Hair Transplant Surgery
Micro-Needling with Eclipse MicroPen With FUE NeoGraft™ Hair Transplant / Hair Restoration Surgery
The Eclipse MicroPen™ is a state-of-the-art, automated micro-needling device that can be used for both anti-aging treatment and hair restoration. This revolutionary technology allows us to treat patients more efficiently and comfortably and yields faster results.
When used with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the Eclipse MicroPen™ can stimulate a renewed blood supply and proper nutrients to deprived hair follicles, which can work to restore your hair growth process. The renewed growth helps to fill in areas of receding or thinning hair in both men and women. PRP is a natural serum derived directly from your own cells to initiate regeneration. The Eclipse MicroPen™ allows us to get a deeper penetration of PRP infused into the skin, amplifying our hair restoration abilities.
A numbing agent can be applied to the desired treatment area to maximize patient comfort. The scalp may be tender for up to 24 hours after treatment, but this should quickly subside. One treatment per month for up to three months is typically required for optimal results, and long-lasting results can be maintained with follow-up treatments every 6 to 12 months.
What is Micro-Needling?
The Hair Transplant Center of NYC offers the Eclipse MicroPen Micro-Needling & PRP service as an alternative to NeoGraft™ hair transplant / hair restoration procedure. Micro-needling uses a sterile needle-tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. This initiates the skin’s repair process to naturally produce collagen and elastin, an ideal environment to regrow your own natural hair. The treatment creates micro-channels that allow for optimal absorption of topical products and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), enhancing their effects in the deeper layers of skin.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. What is PRP?
Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentration of platelets in the blood that are crucial to wound healing. When used for hair restoration, PRP releases growth factors into the skin to expedite the body’s own repair process and stimulate new collagen and elastin.
Blood is drawn from the arm in the same way as with any blood test. Then, using a centrifuge and a special method, platelet-rich plasma is isolated from the resultant growth factors. A numbing cream is applied liberally to the scalp. Using a very thin needle, the growth factors are injected into the scalp. Once injected, the platelets immediately activate the body’s localized stem cells and begin rejuvenating and revitalizing the scalp to produce growth. The procedure is very tolerable with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
PRP is safe and natural because the procedure concentrates the regenerating cells from your own body directly back into the area where they are needed. There is absolutely no chance of getting a blood infection from another human being. PRP involves using your own cells and it will not be rejected by your immune system.
Benefits of Micro-Needling & PRP for Hair restoration include:
- Minimal side effects – minor redness and tenderness of the treated skin
- Reduced downtime – most patients do not require excessive recovery time
- Decreased treatment time – usually only 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area
- Increased safety – disposable sterile single-use surgical grade needle tips
- Enhanced comfort – quicker treatment paired with the topical soothing gel used prior to treatment minimizes discomfort
* The combination of NeoGraft™ and Micro-Needling with PRP is considered a best in class technique for hair loss in men & women.
