Postpartum Hair Loss

Hair changes are a common part of the pregnancy and postpartum experience for many women. While some may notice their hair thinning or shedding during this time, it’s reassuring to know that for most, their hair eventually bounces back to its former glory. However, for some new moms, the transformation may be more permanent.

Dr. Bailey Runkles is dedicated to supporting all mothers on their journey to feeling and looking their absolute best. The transition to parenthood is full of surprises, and dealing with thinning hair or even bald patches doesn’t have to be one of them. PRP hair therapy is a remarkable option that can deliver outstanding results for those grappling with postpartum hair loss.

How does PRP Work?

During your Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy session, a transformative process takes place. First, a small amount of your blood is drawn, carefully taken to ensure its rich plasma content. Then, the plasma is separated from the rest of the blood through centrifugation. Remarkably, plasma possesses a natural abundance of the body’s growth factors, with up to eight times the concentration found in regular blood. Within this plasma, an array of growth factors exists, capable of soothing inflammation, promoting healing, and igniting growth.

The next step is the injection of this platelet-rich plasma back into your scalp, directly targeting the hair follicles. Using a micro-needle, we meticulously apply these injections at intervals of just half an inch. This process typically spans around 30 minutes.

Once the PRP has been skillfully injected, your scalp undergoes a rejuvenation process. This rejuvenation not only encourages the growth of new hair but also serves to retain your existing hair by mitigating the shedding process. By coaxing dormant hair follicles into an active growth phase, this treatment delivers the boost your hair deserves.
