PRP Treatment

What is PRP Treatment for Hair?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a non-surgical, minimally invasive therapy used to stimulate hair growth and combat hair loss. It involves injecting a concentrated solution of platelets, derived from the patient’s own blood, into the scalp. Platelets contain growth factors that help repair damaged hair follicles, promote new hair growth, and improve hair density.

How PRP Treatment Works:

Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is taken from the patient, similar to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from other blood components.
Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into areas of the scalp experiencing thinning or hair loss using fine needles.
Stimulation of Hair Follicles: Growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, improving their function and encouraging new hair growth.

Benefits of PRP Treatment:

Natural and Safe: Uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of allergies or adverse reactions.
Improves Hair Density: Strengthens hair follicles and enhances the thickness of existing hair.
Reduces Hair Fall: Decreases hair shedding and promotes regrowth.
Non-Surgical: Simple outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Who Can Benefit from PRP Treatment?

PRP is suitable for:

Androgenetic Alopecia: Male or female pattern baldness.
Thinning Hair: Individuals experiencing hair thinning or shedding.
Post-Hair Transplant Maintenance: To enhance the survival of transplanted hair follicles.
Other Hair Loss Conditions: Such as traction alopecia or hair loss caused by stress.

Procedure Details:

Duration: Each session takes about 30–60 minutes.
Sessions Required: Typically, 3–6 sessions are recommended, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Maintenance: Follow-up sessions every 6–12 months may be needed to maintain results.

Results:

Timeline: Initial results, such as reduced hair fall, may appear after 2–3 months. Noticeable hair growth typically occurs after 6–12 months of consistent treatment.
Outcome: Improved hair thickness, reduced shedding, and rejuvenated hair follicles.

Aftercare Tips:

Avoid washing your hair for 24 hours post-treatment.
Refrain from using harsh hair products for a few days.
Follow a healthy diet to support hair health.
Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can hinder results.

PRP vs. GFC:

While PRP and GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) treatments are similar, GFC uses a more concentrated solution of growth factors, potentially offering faster and more effective results.

Consult a dermatologist or trichologist to determine if PRP treatment is right for you.
