Prp hair restoration
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma, and it is a treatment used for hair restoration. PRP therapy involves using the patient's own blood, which is processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth and improve hair density.
Here's how PRP for hair restoration typically works:
A small amount of your blood will be drawn, typically from your arm, similar to a routine blood test. It is then placed in a centrifuge machine to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components of the blood, such as red blood cells. The concentrated PRP, which contains a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors, will be prepared for injection. Using a thin needle, the PRP is injected into the areas of the scalp where hair thinning or loss has occurred. The injections are typically spaced out across the affected area. After the PRP injections, you may be given specific instructions for post-treatment care, which may include avoiding certain activities or products for a few days.
The platelets and growth factors in the PRP promote hair growth by stimulating dormant hair follicles, improving blood circulation in the scalp, and providing nutrients to the hair follicles. The growth factors help to prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle and stimulate the development of new blood vessels.
Multiple PRP treatment sessions are usually recommended, typically spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The number of sessions needed can vary depending on the individual and their specific hair loss condition. It’s important to note that PRP therapy for hair restoration is generally considered safe since it uses the patient’s own blood, reducing the risk of adverse reactions or complications.
