PLATELET-RICH-PLASMA (PRP)

A non-surgical, minimally invasive medical therapy called Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment for hair is used to stop hair loss and promote new hair development.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss is based on the principle that platelets, the blood cells responsible for clotting and tissue repair, contain growth factors that can stimulate hair growth. When PRP is injected into the scalp, the growth factors are released and bind to receptors on hair follicle cells. This binding activates the hair follicle cells and promotes hair growth.

These factors help to create a favorable environment for hair growth by:
– Providing a scaffold for hair follicle cells to attach to
Attracting other cells to the hair follicles
– Promoting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels)

PRP therapy is a relatively new treatment for hair loss, and there is still some debate about its effectiveness. However, there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that PRP therapy can be effective in promoting hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness), telogen effluvium (stress-related hair loss), and alopecia areata (patchy hair loss).

PRP Therapy involves the following steps

  1. Blood Collection: Similar to a standard blood test, a small amount of the patient’s blood is taken, typically from the arm.
  2. Centrifugation: After the blood has been drawn, it is put in a machine that rapidly spins to divide it into the various parts from which the PRP is extracted as a concentrated solution.
  3. Activation: To cause the release of growth factors from the platelets, an activating substance, usually calcium chloride, is given after the PRP has been isolated.
  4. Injection into the Scalp: The activated PRP is carefully injected into the regions of the scalp where hair loss or thinning is a concern. To efficiently target hair follicles, the injections are strategically given.
  5. Healing and Hair Growth Stimulation: Growth factors and other bioactive components in PRP accelerate tissue healing, boost blood flow to the scalp, and nourish hair follicles. This procedure can improve the quality of the hair, stimulate dormant hair follicles to grow new, healthier hair, and delay the development of hair loss.
