PRP FOR HAIR LOSS
What is PRP Hair Treatment ?
PRP, also known as Platelet Rich Plasma, is one of the best solutions for hair loss.
PRP hair treatments are used in various forms of hair loss such as male pattern baldness, female pattern baldness, and scalp folliculitis, an inflammation of hair follicles around the scalp.
It is effective in stimulating hair regrowth, reducing inflammation and increasing the thickness and volume of the hair.
PRP procedure is performed in the following three stages :
Firstly, blood is collected from the patient’s arm and centrifuged.
After 10 minutes, blood will be separated into three parts – platelet poor plasma, platelet rich plasma, and red blood cells.
Platelet rich plasma is then injected back into the scalp that is in need of hair growth.
There is no recovery time for this procedure and is considered safe.
