What is PRP hair?
PRP for hair loss, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that aims to stimulate hair growth.
Here’s how it works:
Blood Draw: A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
Platelet Separation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins the blood to separate the platelets from other blood components. Platelets are rich in growth factors that promote tissue healing and regeneration.
Injection: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then injected into the scalp using very fine needles.
How it may help with hair loss:
Stimulates Hair Growth: The growth factors in PRP may stimulate hair follicles, promoting new hair growth and thickening existing hair.
Improves Blood Circulation: PRP may increase blood flow to the hair follicles, providing them with essential nutrients for growth.
Strengthens Hair Follicles: PRP may strengthen and nourish hair follicles, making them more resistant to damage and hair loss.
Potential Benefits:
Thicker, Fuller Hair: May increase hair density and improve overall hair volume.
Reduced Hair Loss: May slow down or stop hair loss in some cases.
Improved Hair Quality: May improve hair strength, shine, and overall condition.
Important Considerations:
Multiple Sessions: Multiple PRP treatments are typically required for optimal results, usually spaced a few weeks apart.
Not a Cure-All: PRP is not a guaranteed cure for hair loss and may not be effective for everyone.
Professional Administration: PRP should only be performed by qualified and experienced healthcare professionals.
Treatment step-by-step
Consultation
- You’ll have a consultation with a qualified professional (like a dermatologist, esthetician, or plastic surgeon).
- They’ll assess your skin concerns, medical history, and discuss your treatment goals.
- They’ll explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes.
Blood Draw
- A small amount of blood is drawn from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Platelet Isolation
- The blood sample is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins the blood to separate the different components.
- This process isolates the platelets, which are rich in growth factors.
PRP Preparation
- The concentrated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is carefully extracted from the processed blood.
Injection
- Using very fine needles, the PRP is injected into the scalp in multiple small injections.
- The injection pattern is carefully planned to target areas of hair thinning.
Post-Treatment Care
- The healthcare professional will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include:
- Avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for a short period.
- Applying ice packs to the scalp to reduce any discomfort.
- Washing your hair with a gentle shampoo as instructed.
- Using a mild, fragrance-free shampoo and conditioner.
