It made her reconsider her hairstyle choices.
have been relatively drama-free. But during the show's season 17 premiere Sunday night, the eldest sister was facing a beauty emergency., the sisters discuss a not-small bald spot that has formed on the top of Kourt's head. "Kourtney, you have a really big spot on the top of your head,” Kim said. “Look down, Kourtney. Oh my God, I’m afraid for your life. Have you seen that?”
“No, but I feel it,” Kourtney replied. "It’s a hole in my head. I swear it’s from my ponytail, it was so tight that I had a bump on my head like this.” Obviously, Kim is being overly dramatic, but the spot is noticeable in the clip below.in New York City, tells"Physical and mechanical stress can weaken and even damage the hair follicle, leading to hair loss. Tight ponytails can certainly pull your hair out of the hair follicle and are a common cause of hair loss.
Of course, when you're a Kardashian, you have pretty much any beauty treatment available to you at any given moment, so Kourtney heads to see Dr. Jason Diamond later in the episode to address the bald spot with scalp injections. “Today I’m getting PRP [platelet-rich plasma], which is where they take your blood and spin it and they use your plasma and they inject it in my head for my hair to grow back,” she said.
Plasma treatments for conditions like alopecia are becoming more popular, and Kourtney did a pretty good job explaining the basics. Blood is taken from the patient and put into a centrifuge to separate out the plasma that will then be used for the injections., the plasma "helps repair blood vessels, promote cell growth and wound healing, and stimulate collagen production."
"Given its name, PRP is rich in platelets which have multiple growth factors, which help the hair follicles to grow," Fallek says. "The PRP is then injected into your scalp where there is hair loss. A topical anesthetic is normally applied prior to injections, and the treatment takes about 5 to 10 minutes." He says that treatment is varied but that most doctors will inject areas of alopecia monthly for three months initially and then twice a year for maintenance.
