PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedure that reduces the shrinking of your hair follicles and stimulates and nourishes your hair follicles, restoring your natural hair growth process. PRP contains growth factors, stem cells, and natural proteins that help improve your existing hair’s health and density.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections have been found to speed up the healing process of torn ligaments, tendons, muscular joints, and hair loss. The injection of PRP into patients activates the body’s natural healing processes to treat musculoskeletal injuries and diseases.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is extracted from the patient’s blood by centrifuging one or more tubes of blood to concentrate the platelets for injection. Injecting the activated platelets into the affected area is the next step. Growth factors are produced, encouraging the body to make more repair cells.

After about four months, you should notice hair growth after PRP therapy. Though, up to a year after the treatment, you should still be experiencing improvements. A yearly or so treatment schedule may be necessary for upkeep.

Eighty-four percent of studies revealed a beneficial effect of PRP, and 50% demonstrated a statistically significant improvement, while 34% showed hair density and hair thickness improvement.

PRP Procedure

A blood sample is taken from your arm and spun in a centrifuge, a machine that spins rapidly to separate fluids of different densities.
Blood will divide into three layers after being centrifuged for around 10 minutes:
platelet-poor plasma
platelet-rich plasma
red blood cells
Blood is taken into a syringe and injected into the scalp in regions where new hair growth is desired.
