PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Hair Treatment

Create a request

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Hair Treatment is a regenerative therapy used for hair loss. It involves extracting a patient's own blood, processing it to enrich platelets, and then injecting it into the scalp. This process is believed to stimulate hair growth by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and enhancing the thickness of the hair shaft.

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Hair Treatment

General

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Hair Treatment is a non-surgical procedure aimed at stimulating hair growth for those suffering from various forms of alopecia. The treatment leverages the patient's own platelets, which possess growth factors that can promote the healing process and tissue regeneration, including in the scalp. After the blood is drawn, it goes through a centrifugation process to separate the plasma enriched with platelets. This Platelet-Rich Plasma is then injected into areas of the scalp where hair loss is evident. The procedure is gaining popularity due to its natural approach and the avoidance of chemicals and drugs. Typically, the treatment requires multiple sessions for optimal results, along with maintenance sessions for sustained effects. It is considered particularly effective in the early stages of hair thinning and loss, acting to enhance the health of the hair follicles and encourage growth.
