Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical treatment with little downtime, aimed at promoting hair growth and improving hair density. PRP is derived from your own blood. It is rich in growth factors that can help stimulate hair follicles and promote healing. The growth factors in PRP can help stimulate dormant hair follicles. Since it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or complications is minimal.
PRP is commonly used for treating androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss) in men and women, promoting hair growth, and improving hair density. It may also support hair growth after hair transplants. The growth factors in PRP can help to rejuvenate hair follicles, potentially leading to increased hair density and thickness.
Possible mild side effects include swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection site. These usually resolve quickly.
Individual results can vary based on factors such as the underlying cause of hair loss and overall health.
For the best results, multiple sessions are necessary. Although individual responses to treatment can differ, the majority of patients typically need 4 -6 sessions. Each set of treatments are spaced approximately 4-6 weeks apart. There is no limit to the number of treatments you can have. Your practitioner will determine your treatment protocol according to your scalp condition.
How does it work?
- Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
- Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from other components.
- Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into the scalp in areas experiencing hair thinning or loss.
