Hair PRP
Hair PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy for hair, is a non-surgical procedure aimed at stimulating hair growth and improving the overall health of the scalp and hair follicles. It involves extracting a small amount of the patient's blood, typically from the arm, and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, which is rich in platelets, growth factors, and other healing factors, from the red blood cells. The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles.
Hair PRP works by promoting hair follicle regeneration, increasing blood flow to the scalp, and stimulating the production of new hair cells. This can lead to improvements in hair density, thickness, and overall hair quality. PRP therapy can be beneficial for both men and women experiencing various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, as well as conditions like alopecia areata.
Hair PRP is typically performed in a series of sessions, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. While individual results may vary, many people experience visible improvements in hair growth and thickness following PRP treatment. Since PRP utilizes the patient's own blood, it is generally considered safe with minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
