PRP treatment, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment, is a non-surgical
cosmetic procedure that uses the patient's own blood plasma, which is rich in
platelets, to stimulate hair growth. The procedure is done in a few steps:
- Blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a centrifuge to separate the
plasma from the red blood cells.
- The plasma, which is rich in platelets, is then collected and prepared for
injection.
- Using a fine needle, the plasma is injected into the scalp in the areas where
hair growth is desired.
- The procedure typically takes about an hour and patients can return to normal
activities immediately after.
The advantages of PRP treatment for hair loss include:
- It's non-surgical
- It's safe and natural as it uses the patient's own blood
- It can improve hair growth in both men and women
- It is effective in treating hair loss caused by various factors, including
genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions
- It is relatively quick and easy
- It is relatively affordable
It is important to note that results may vary and multiple sessions may be needed to
achieve the desired results. It is also important to have realistic expectations and
have a consultation with a specialist to see if PRP treatment is right for you.
