Traction alopecia&mdash;a type of hair loss caused by the repetitive pulling of hair&mdash;is the technical term for Kardashian&rsquo;s hair loss, and it&rsquo;s common among women who wear tight hairstyles. In an effort to reverse the effects of the damaging ponytail, Kardashian headed to Beverly Hills, California, facial plastic surgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/find\/California\/Beverly-Hills\/Facial-Plastic-Surgeon\/Jason-Diamond#about\">Dr. Jason Diamond<\/a> for help.<\/p><p><em>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/news\/10-myths-about-hair-transplants-and-the-facts-you-need-to-know\">10 Myths About Hair Transplants&mdash;and the Facts You Need to Know<\/a><\/em><\/p><p>Dr. Diamond&rsquo;s preferred course of treatment for Kardashian was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/prp-for-hair-loss\">platelet-rich plasma (PRP)<\/a> injections. PRP, a fluid isolated from a patient&rsquo;s own blood, is rich in growth factors that promote healing and contribute to essential cellular growth functions. &ldquo;The benefit of PRP is that we take your own blood, spin it [in a centrifuge] and then inject the part that&rsquo;s richest in growth factors back into your body,&rdquo; says Brookline, Massachusetts, dermatologist Dr. Papri Sarkar. &ldquo;In dermatology, it has primarily been used for facial rejuvenation and hair loss.&rdquo; New York City dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/find\/New-York\/New-York-City\/Dermatologist\/Michele-Green#about\">Dr. Michele Green<\/a> also adds that PRP &ldquo;works effectively by repairing blood vessels, promoting cell growth, healing and stimulating collagen production.&rdquo;<\/p><center><blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2UTixlhHjF\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

However, experts assert that more extensive studies need to be conducted to measure effectiveness, since there is currently no standardized protocol for PRP injections.<\/p><p>During Kardashian&rsquo;s PRP appointment, Dr. Diamond tells her that she&rsquo;ll most likely need &ldquo;two or three series, maybe once a month, for the next three months&rdquo; before she can expect regrowth. Dr. Green, on the other hand, says more treatments than that may be necessary for some patients, noting that most patients start seeing visible results after about four treatments. &ldquo;It depends on the severity of the condition and the treatment combination, but I usually recommend four consecutive monthly treatments of PRP injections, followed by maintenance treatments every four to six months,&rdquo; she says.<\/p><p>While Kourtney chose an in-office solution to her hair loss, Dr. Green affirms that there are other options available for patients who aren&rsquo;t too keen on heading straight to a doctor. She recommends topical treatments that contain minoxidil&mdash;an ingredient found in products like Rogaine&mdash;and supplements like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/nutrafol\">Nutrafol<\/a> ($88) to promote hair growth. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6374709\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">study<\/a> reported an improvement in hair regrowth for patients with traction alopecia who were treated with 2% minoxidil. But to prevent the kind of hair loss Kardashian is experiencing altogether, simply forgo that tight ponytail.
