PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for Hair Restoration
What is PRP Therapy for Hair?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a non-surgical treatment for hair loss that involves using your own blood to stimulate hair growth. The process works by concentrating platelets and growth factors from your blood, which are then injected into areas of your scalp where hair thinning or loss is occurring.
How PRP Works?
- Blood Draw: A small sample of blood is taken from the patient.
- Centrifugation: The blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins it to separate the components, concentrating the platelets.
- Injection: The concentrated PRP is injected into targeted areas of the scalp to stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
Benefits of PRP for Hair Growth :
- Natural Treatment : Uses the body’s own cells, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or side effects.
- Stimulates Hair Follicles : Growth factors in PRP rejuvenate hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
- Improves Hair Thickness : Many patients report thicker and fuller hair after several sessions.
- Minimally Invasive : The procedure is quick, with minimal downtime.
- Safe : Since it uses your own blood, PRP is a safe option with minimal risk.
Who Can Benefit from PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy is suitable for a variety of individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss. It is particularly effective for:
- Individuals with Androgenetic Alopecia (Pattern Baldness): Both men and women suffering from genetic hair loss can benefit from PRP to stimulate growth and restore hair density.
- Those Experiencing Hair Thinning Due to Stress, Hormonal Changes, or Other Factors: Stress, pregnancy, menopause, and other hormonal shifts can lead to temporary or chronic hair thinning. PRP helps nourish the scalp and hair follicles, promoting growth.
- Patients Seeking a Natural Treatment for Hair Loss: Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, it offers a minimally invasive and natural solution to hair loss.
- Post-Hair Transplant Recovery: PRP can improve healing, support newly transplanted follicles, and ensure better hair growth after hair transplant surgery.
Considerations :
- Consultation: A thorough consultation is necessary to determine if PRP therapy is right for you.
- Not a Quick Fix: Results take several months, as hair growth is gradual.
- Combination Treatments: PRP can be combined with other treatments, such as minoxidil or hair transplants, oral supplements and vitamin injections.
PRP for Post-Hair Transplant Procedures :
PRP therapy is commonly used after hair transplant surgery to support healing and enhance results. It stimulates blood flow to the scalp, reduces inflammation, and promotes the growth of the newly transplanted follicles.
Post-Hair Transplant Protocol :
- Initial PRP Sessions: Typically started 1-2 weeks after the hair transplant to promote healing and help transplanted follicles establish.
- Frequency of Sessions: After initial post-transplant sessions, treatments are usually spaced every 4-6 weeks for the first few months. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 3-6 months depending on individual needs.
- Benefits: Reduces swelling and scarring, promotes healing, strengthens transplanted hair follicles, and enhances hair density and overall health.
Treatment Details & What to Expect?
- Number of Sessions: A series of 3-6 sessions spaced about a month apart is typically recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 4-6 months.
- Procedure Duration: The procedure usually takes 30-60 minutes.
- Recovery: There is minimal downtime; some patients may experience mild swelling or discomfort at the injection site.
