PRP therapy is a non-surgical procedure used to treat people with hair loss, thinning hair, or male pattern baldness. Plasma is a component of blood that is full of healing and growth factors. When injected into areas of hair loss, PRP can help to strengthen follicles and increase the quality and thickness of hair. PRP will strengthen and thicken existing hair, but it will not replace lost hair.
Patients with areas of thinning hair or weak hair growth may be candidates for PRP treatment. PRP is not suitable for patients with complete hair loss or bald scalps, as PRP cannot help grow new hair on a bald area. PRP helps to make thin hair thicker by strengthening the hair follicles. This treatment has been shown to be effective for both men and women who are experiencing hair loss or thinning.
The recommended way to get the best results is to have 3-4 sessions, with 4 weeks between each session. After these treatments are done, some patients might need to have maintenance therapy once or twice a year, depending on how severe their hair loss is.
First, blood is taken from the patient. The blood is then centrifuged to separate out the plasma. This component(plasma) of blood is full of healing and growth factors. The plasma is then injected into your scalp using an injection device. The injection device is used to put the plasma under your skin. This makes tiny channels so that the plasma can go into your skin and hair growth is stimulated. The technique of injecting PRP is painless with the use of the Pistor injection gun and the process can be done in less than an hour.
You will start to see results about three months after the procedure, but the final results may not be visible for up to six to twelve months.
