PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for Hair Loss

Hair loss can occur because of stress, lack of sleep, hormones, genetics, hairstyles, and many other factors. This can be a sensitive topic for many individuals as we can get attached to our hair.

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is a solution for hair loss that many of Dr. Devgan's patients seek in her New York City office.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for hair loss uses growth-factor-rich serum from your own blood byproducts to amplify stem cell-mediated hair growth. It helps with hair density, hair thickness, retention of existing hairs, and repopulation of new hair follicles. Patients typically require 4-6 treatments spaced about 1-2 months apart, and improved hair density and growth is typically seen 3-6 months later. PRP therapy for baldness works best in conjunction with optimized nutrition, vitamin levels, and topical medication.   

Early result after one session of PRP. Hair growth is expected to improve even more

Why Is It Important to Wear Sunscreen on a Cloudy Day?

Wearing sunscreen on a cloudy day is just as important as wearing it on a sunny day. The sun's rays usually are a sign to most people that the skin needs protection from a sunburn, however, on cloudy days, UV rays may be just as prevalent, even if the sun is not visible.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), nearly half of UV radiation is between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m, and even on a cloudy day, you may get sunburned by UV rays.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: Dr. Devgan Answers Your Questions

One of the most frequently asked questioned about a non-surgical rhinoplasty, otherwise known as a non-surgical nose job, is whether the fillers make the nose appear wide or bulbous from the front view.

Dr. Devgan's before and after pictures on her Instagram page show that a non-surgical rhinoplasty can make the nose appear smaller, pronounce the tip, and give it a slope; all qualities that make a nose look flattering on the face. However, since a non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injections to achieve the look that the patient wants, ideally, many would think that this procedure makes the nose look larger than before.

Dr. Devgan uses micro-droplet injections to use the right amount of filler and to never over-use. This helps patients fill the areas in their nose to make it appear smoother and more refined. 

Not only do the profile views of Dr. Devgan's non-surgical rhinoplasty patients show that the micro-droplet procedures do not make the nose look larger or more pronounced, but the front view also shows the nose to still remain slim without appearing wide or bulbous.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty takes two minutes and lasts one to two years. It involves no surgery, incisions, scars, or downtime. A non-surgical rhinoplasty can help patients achieve tip elevation, nose refinement, correct the appearance of dorsal humps, and much more.
