JERSEY CITY, N.J., May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Almost 56 million Americans deal with hair loss - 40% of women, and 70% of men. Thankfully, a new, non-invasive technique called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy) effectively treats hair loss with zero downtime.

This non-surgical treatment starts at $400 per session and simply requires a few injections into the scalp to help encourage regrowth and stimulation of hair follicles, resulting in fuller, thicker hair.

About PRP Therapy

PRP Therapy works by obtaining growth factors from the blood. Human blood contains red cells, white cells, platelets and other blood products. The platelets contain eight growth factors, some which simulate the hair follicle. Currently, the technique of platelet rich plasma production is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Dr. Rapaport is part of the clinical trial team that is currently underway to attempt to get a FDA approval for the indication of using PRP for hair loss.
