What is Vampire Hair® Treatment?
The Vampire Hair® Treatment takes advantage of your body’s natural healing and tissue-building abilities by using PRP (platelet-rich plasma). Platelets are special cells in the blood that contain a host of crucial growth factors and proteins that can stimulate hair growth.
How is the Procedure Done?
We first apply a special numbing cream to the scalp. While the numbing cream is taking effect, we draw your blood (just like having a routine blood test). While you wait, we process your blood in our on-site laboratory to extract and concentrate the platelets to make the PRP. Once the PRP is ready, we then apply some special nerve blocks around the scalp to numb the target area(s) even more. Once you’re completely numb, we then inject a special mixture of vitamins under the scalp. The vitamins help supply nutrients for the new hair. Finally, we inject the PRP under the skin on the scalp where we want to stimulate new hair growth.
The New England Stem Cell Institute Approach to Vampire Hair Treatment®
There is an increasing number of practices and clinics offering the Vampire Hair® Treatment procedure. But they're not all alike!
- We've been doing PRP since 2007. We were the very first in New England to offer it and have done it much longer than most practices in the country. Few practices have our level of skill and experience.
- Our PRP is different, markedly better. Most practices make PRP using a one-size-fits-all commercial PRP system. This results in a generic, weaker PRP. At the New England Stem Cell Institute, we pioneered a method for making our own PRP that has a much higher platelet concentration. The result is the delivery of more growth factors and a stronger treatment.
- We also add special growth factors derived from cultured umbilical cord stem cells. It's like a supercharged treatment for your hair!
- Three treatments are given, each spaced six weeks apart.
How Long Before I See the Results?
You’ll need to be patient since it takes hair quite some time to regrow fully. It can be up to six months, even up to a year. That said, know that it is happening!
How Long Do the Effects Last?
Most patients require a single PRP booster injection (not the entire series of 3 treatments) every 1-2 years or so depending on their individual response.
Who is NOT a Candidate for The Vampire Hair® Treatment?
If you have been completely bald in a given area for 3 years or more, then this treatment will not work. There needs to be at least some active hair follicles that can be stimulated. So, the sooner you start treatment as your hair thins, the better your results will be. Also, if your hormones, such as testosterone, DHT, and estrogen, are out of balance, then we will need to optimize these first. Finally, smokers do poorly with ANY regenerative medicine treatment. This is because smoking decreases the amount of blood and oxygen (and therefore the number of nutrients) delivered to the skin and underlying tissues, and also cigarettes introduce a host of toxins and poisons into the body that adversely affect healing.
