PRP Treatment for hair loss
PRP refers to Platelet rich plasma that has clinical uses for repairing tendons, healing injured tissues and muscles. In hair loss therapy, PRP is used to stimulate inactive hair follicles and promote hair growth. The patient's own blood is drawn and used for the treatment and hence it may be considered a natural form of treatment.
How does it work?
Platelets are cells that are used by the body for wound healing. Research suggests that platelets promote tissue growth. In the case of hair loss PRP has shown to reduce inflammation which is one of the causes for hair loss. In this process, a qualified technician withdraws blood and extracts the patient's platelets. The plasma is further activated to release growth factors and then injected into the scalp.
The process is safe and there are minimal chances of infections or side effects. Since it is a non surgical procedure, there is no recovery time required. We see significant improvement in hair growth and density from the first visit and over a period of 3-6 months the results are visible. However the number of sessions required depends on the extent and nature of hairloss.
If you are concerned about your hair loss, PRP is one of the newly available options that is fast and reliable to stimulate hair growth. The treatment has been proven effective across all age groups.
