PRP – Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
How PRP therapy works:
- Blood draw: A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
- Centrifuge process: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
- Plasma extraction: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted, containing growth factors and proteins.
- Scalp application: The PRP is injected or applied to the targeted areas of the scalp using a specialized technique.
Benefits of Hair PRP therapy:
- Stimulates dormant hair follicles
- Increases hair count and thickness
- Improves overall hair quality
- Reduces hair shedding
- Natural approach using the patient’s blood
- Minimal downtime and side effects
PRP therapy is suitable for both men and women experiencing various types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia (male and female pattern baldness) and alopecia areata.
Treatment process:
Most patients require a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Maintenance sessions may be recommended every 6-12 months to sustain the effects.
While individual results may vary, many patients report noticeable improvements in hair growth and thickness within 3-6 months of starting treatment.
