About Us

At JECT Medical Aesthetics, we're committed to pioneering treatments that not only enhance beauty but also restore and rejuvenate. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the most groundbreaking approaches in our repertoire. Famous for its regenerative capabilities, PRP is more than an anti-aging treatment; it's a comprehensive solution for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and healing.

Deep Dive into the Science Behind PRP

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy leverages the body’s natural healing processes to promote cellular regeneration and enhance tissue repair. This treatment concentrates platelets from your own blood, utilizing their growth factors that are essential for healing. By injecting this PRP into targeted areas, we stimulate the body’s inherent regenerative mechanisms, effectively enhancing tissue repair and encouraging cell growth. This method taps directly into the wellspring of your body’s own healing capabilities, making it a powerful tool for rejuvenation and recovery.

Looking even more in-depth, our blood consists of several components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. While red blood cells transport oxygen, and white blood cells defend against infection, platelets play a crucial role in healing. They not only help in blood clotting but also release growth factors that trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration in the treated area.

The first step in PRP therapy is drawing a small amount of blood from the patient, similar to a routine blood test. This blood is then placed in a centrifuge, where it is spun at high speeds to separate the blood components based on their densities. Through this process, platelets are concentrated and collected into the plasma, creating the Platelet-Rich Plasma. This PRP contains 3-5 times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood, along with higher concentrations of bioactive proteins and growth factors that are crucial for tissue regeneration and healing.

The PRP is carefully injected into specific areas of the body or scalp using fine needles. The targeted approach ensures that high concentrations of growth factors are delivered exactly where they are needed to enhance tissue recovery and regeneration. For hair loss treatments, the scalp is the primary focus, specifically areas where thinning or balding is most noticeable.

PRP is injected into the scalp, the high levels of growth factors work to prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle, activate dormant hair follicles, and promote the development of new blood vessels around the follicles. This increased blood supply provides more nutrients and oxygen to the hair roots, helping to strengthen existing hairs and stimulating the growth of new ones. The growth factors also help to increase the thickness of the hair shafts, making the hair fuller and more robust.

What is PRP Beneficial For?

Hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact self-esteem. PRP is proven to combat this by stimulating dormant hair follicles, promoting new hair growth, and enhancing hair thickness. This treatment is particularly beneficial for:

• Men with receding hairlines or bald patches
• Women with thinning hair due to hormonal changes or aging

PRP’s regenerative properties are not limited to improving hair density and stimulating growth. It can also be used for:

‍

Skin Rejuvenation

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a groundbreaking approach to anti-aging, enhancing skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin tone. By injecting or microneedling PRP directly into the skin, the concentrated growth factors stimulate collagen production, which is vital for maintaining skin’s youthful structure and elasticity. This treatment can revitalize dull, tired-looking skin, giving it a brighter, more youthful glow. It is particularly effective for individuals seeing the early signs of aging or those looking to enhance their skin’s natural vibrancy.

‍

Scar Treatment

PRP also shows significant efficacy in treating various types of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and scars from injuries. The growth factors in PRP promote tissue remodeling and increase collagen production, which can help soften and flatten scars, making them less noticeable. This natural approach to scar treatment is especially appealing to those who prefer to avoid more invasive procedures or chemical treatments, providing a regenerative solution that works with the body’s own healing mechanisms.

‍

Joint Health

In the realm of orthopedics, PRP therapy is used extensively to treat joint pain and injuries, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional treatments. By injecting PRP into the affected joint, the high concentration of growth factors can help reduce inflammation, stimulate the repair of cartilage, and enhance the overall function of joints. This treatment is particularly beneficial for athletes or active individuals suffering from joint degeneration or injuries such as tendonitis or ligament damage. The ability of PRP to promote natural healing and pain relief makes it a preferred choice for many seeking to avoid surgery and reduce their reliance on pain medications.

Expanding the Scope of PRP in Medical Treatments

While not offered at JECT, the versatility of PRP is not limited to aesthetics and orthopedics; it is also being explored in other medical fields such as dentistry for gum disease and wound healing, and even in cardiology for heart muscle repair. The wide-ranging applications of PRP stem from its ability to enhance and accelerate the body's natural healing processes, making it a valuable tool in various therapeutic contexts.

Why PRP Is Especially Effective for Men

PRP hair restoration is particularly appealing because it offers a discreet, non-surgical alternative to more invasive hair transplant surgeries. The procedure involves minimal discomfort, no scarring, and requires no downtime, which means men can continue with their daily activities immediately after treatment. This convenience, coupled with natural-looking results, makes PRP an ideal solution for male pattern baldness and other forms of hair thinning.

Common Questions About PRP for Hair Loss

• How often should I get PRP treatments for hair loss? Typically, we recommend a series of three treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 months to preserve results.
• Is PRP painful? Discomfort is minimal. We use topical anesthesia to ensure the procedure is comfortable, and most patients report no more than mild sensitivity.
• What are the expected outcomes? While results vary, most patients notice a reduction in hair shedding and visible increases in hair regrowth and thickness within three to six months after the initial treatment series.
