Hair - PRP
Hair PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a procedure used to promote hair growth and improve the thickness and quality of existing hair. PRP is derived from the patient's own blood and contains a concentrated amount of platelets, which are rich in growth factors.
During a hair PRP treatment, blood is drawn from the patient's arm and processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp in areas where hair growth is desired.
The growth factors in PRP stimulate the hair follicles, promote blood circulation, and encourage the growth of new hair. They can also help prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle, leading to thicker and healthier hair.
Hair PRP treatments are often used in conjunction with other hair restoration procedures, such as hair transplant surgery or as a standalone treatment for individuals experiencing hair thinning or early stages of hair loss. The procedure is generally considered safe, as it uses the patient's own blood, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of hair PRP can vary from person to person, and multiple treatment sessions are often required to achieve optimal results. It's advisable to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or a specialist in hair restoration to determine if hair PRP is a suitable option for you and to discuss the potential benefits and limitations of the procedure.
