Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Hair Restoration
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment gaining traction in hair restoration. It utilizes the patient’s own blood to encourage healing and stimulate hair growth. The platelets in the blood are packed with growth factors and proteins vital for tissue regeneration. When injected into the scalp, these growth factors can foster new hair growth and help prevent further hair loss.
What to Expect Before the Procedure
The consultation will involve assessing the patient’s hair loss pattern and overall health. If PRP therapy is deemed appropriate, the patient will have a blood sample drawn for the procedure.
What Happens During PRP Hair Treatment?
The PRP hair treatment is a straightforward process. Initially, a small blood sample is taken from the patient. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from other blood components. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the scalp in areas experiencing hair loss. The entire procedure typically takes less than an hour and requires no downtime. Most patients begin to see results within a few months, with further improvement over the following year.
What to Expect After the Procedure
Post-treatment, it is essential to keep the scalp clean and dry for a few hours. Some patients may experience temporary numbness or tingling. There is no significant downtime, and you can resume your regular activities the following day.
