PRP is an interesting hair loss therapy alternative. Its efficacy in raising hair count, hair thickness, and the growth phase of the reproductive cycle has been demonstrated in a number of scientifically backed papers. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is utilized in skin and hair care to begin the body's natural regenerative processes, just as it has been used for years in sports injuries for direct injection into wounded areas to mend tendons and increase collagen formation.

What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) for Hair Loss?

A tube of plasma is extracted from your arm and spun down in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma, which is strong in growth hormones, platelets, and protein-rich nutrients. The plasma is then injected directly into the scalp at the level of the hair follicles by your physician. The procedure is thorough, with injections starting at the base of the scalp and progressing every half inch over the short hair zone. Your plasma's growth factors operate as messengers, signaling hair cells to function, boosting hair follicle activity, and encouraging new hair growth.

Who is a good candidate for PRP Injections for Hair Loss?

According to research, everybody experiencing hair fall is a potential candidate for PRP therapies, but those with early hair loss recover best. PRP therapies are best used for people with androgenic alopecia, a genetically determined kind of hair thinning that often occurs along the top of the head, according to some research. This may appear as a spreading part with regular hair thickness at the rear of the head in females.

What is downtime?

There is very little downtime. For a day after your therapy, avoid dying, treating, or blow-drying your hair. Bruising can happen, although it normally goes away after a week or two.

How long does a treatment take?

Your blood will be drawn right before your therapy, and the preparation of the tube of blood for separation of the plasma, which is rich in growth factors and cytokines, will take around 10 to 15 minutes. It takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes for the therapy to be completed.

How many PRP treatments will I need? When will I see the results?

Therapy is usually given once a month for the first three to four months, then every four to six months after that, based on the client's attitude and outcomes. Within 3 months of following this treatment, expected outcomes can be visible. Despite the fact that PRP has nearly no constraints, not all patients respond well to treatment. PRP injections alone may not provide enough benefit for some patients, which is why they are frequently used in conjunction with other treatments. Many patients may notice a thickening of existing hairs, a decrease in hair loss, and a reversal of thinning, all of which will enhance density.
