What Is PRP? How Does It Apply To Hair Loss Treatments?
PRP (short for platelet-rich plasma) is basically just blood that has been spun really fast in a centrifuge, a process that separates the plasma from red blood cells. Inside this plasma are small structures known as platelets, which contain growth factors that are key in the body’s wound healing process.
Once the plasma is separated, two different chemicals are added: thrombin and calcium chloride. These further increase the level of growth factors in the plasma, which is re-added to a syringe and injected into key areas of the scalp. Over time, this can help stimulate the growth of hair follicles, reduce miniaturization (shrinking of hair follicles), and more. But now there is a new way to deliver powerful regenerative hair loss nutrients without drawing your blood. Have you met TED yet? ALMA TED treatment is available at the Falcone Center representing our commitment to bring you the most advanced treatments, supplements and techniques to optimize results.
What To Expect During Your Hair Loss Treatment with PRP vs ALMA TED
Prior to any hair loss treatment, you will meet with Dr. Falcone and the friendly, helpful staff at The Falcone Center for Integrative Hair Loss Solutions. They will formulate a treatment plan to meet your wants and needs.
We ask that you arrive for your appointment with clean hair, free of any hair products or chemicals. The hair should be clean and dry. It is not a problem if your hair is colored but you should refrain from hair color for 2 days prior and 1 week after any hair loss treatment.
PRP treatment involves drawing your blood and spinning it down in a sophisticated dual-spin centrifuge device to extract the platelet rich growth factors. The growth factors are then injected hundreds of times with needles. Because of the number of injections, you will need to rest for 1-2 days.
With ALMA TED, there is no blood draw. No needles. No waiting for treatment. The hair stimulating nutrients of the ALMA TED are penetrated into the skin using ultrasound energy. In 30 minutes, you will complete treatment and be ready to enjoy the rest of your day.
What Happens After Your Hair Loss Treatment?
After a PRP treatment for hair loss, you have to go home and lay down for 24-36 hours to try and prevent swelling in the front of your forehead. You cannot shampoo the hair for 36 hours.
With ALMA TED treatment, we ask that you not wash the scalp for 24 hours. The gel used in treatment is water based so it is possible to style the hair, allow it to air dry and then go out the next day.
How Much Does a Hair Loss Treatment Cost in Philadelphia, PA, Main Line and Hair Loss Treatment in Maple Shade, NJ?
Similar to most cosmetic procedures, how much your hair loss treatment costs will depend on a variety of individual factors. This includes the level of thinning, whether or not you’ll be supplementing with other treatments such as hair transplants, and much more. We suggest a series of 3 treatments each separated by approximately 4 weeks for best results. A treatment program will be developed during your consultation. The Falcone Center offers affordable pricing. Ask about our Falcone Center Membership for the very best pricing.

Are Hair Loss Treatments Right For You?
As mentioned above, PRP hair loss treatments come with several advantages and disadvantages. There is no risk of allergic reactions or rejection (since the material is coming from your own body), and no surgical incisions but the treatment does cause some downtime and can be uncomfortable.
The next generation of non-surgical hair loss treatment is the ALMA TED. It offers the regenerative advantages of PRP treatment without the pain, downtime and potential swelling.
