Decoding PRP:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment option gaining popularity in the field of dermatology for stimulating hair growth.
- PRP derives from the patient’s blood, containing a concentrated amount of platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive substances. Injecting PRP into the scalp has shown promising results in promoting hair growth and improving hair density.
- The Science Unfolded: PRP’s hair growth potential lies in its ability to enhance the hair follicles’ natural regenerative processes. Platelets release various growth factors, which play vital roles in hair follicle function and regeneration.Â
- These growth factors help to promote angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), increase cell proliferation, and stimulate the development of new hair follicles thus leading to increased hair count, improved hair thickness, and enhanced hair density in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (pattern hair loss) and other hair disorders
PRP Procedure for Hair loss:
Blood Collection: During the procedure, we draw a small amount of your blood from your arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation: We place the collected blood in a specialized centrifuge machine and spin it twice with set parameters. This process separates the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. At our center, we employ manual centrifugation techniques, which experts consider to yield superior results.
PRP Harvesting: After centrifugation, collect the PRP, which now holds a concentrated amount of platelets and growth factors, into a sterile syringe.
Preparation for Treatment: Before administering the PRP, typically on the scalp for hair growth, cleanse and prepare the treatment area. Apply local anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.
PRP Injection: We then inject the PRP into the targeted scalp area using fine needles. Typically, we space the injections evenly across the affected area to ensure comprehensive coverage.
Post-Treatment Care: After the PRP injections, necessary post-treatment instructions will be provided. These include avoiding certain activities, medications, or hair treatments for a specific period. Follow-up appointments are also scheduled to monitor progress and determine the need for additional treatments.
The number of treatment sessions required can also vary, typically ranging from three to six sessions spaced several weeks apart.
PRP therapy for hair growth is generally safe because it utilizes the patient’s own blood components, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions or infections. Typically, patients experience mild and transient side effects such as mild scalp discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection site.
 Additionally, PRP therapy may be more effective when combined with other hair restoration treatments, such as medications or hair transplant procedures.
