Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge treatment option for hair restoration that can help you achieve a fuller, healthier head of hair. The approach uses the patient’s own blood plasma to promote hair growth and improve the overall health of the scalp.
PRP has gained popularity in recent years as a hair restoration technique, and it’s used to treat a variety of hair loss conditions.
While hair transplant surgery is a suitable option for some patients suffering from hair loss, it is not without its potential problems:
- A hair transplant is a surgical procedure. It involves taking hair follicles from a donor site and then transplanting them to an area on the scalp that is thinning or balding.
- The success of the surgery depends on a number of factors, including hair follicle quality, the surgeon’s skills, and the individual’s response to the procedure. In some cases, the transplanted hair may not grow, or it may grow thin and patchy.
- There is potential for noticeable scarring. The procedure typically involves making tiny incisions in the scalp to remove hair follicles. This may be more noticeable if the individual has short hair. Also, since a high skill level is needed, there’s a higher likelihood of scarring if someone inexperienced performs them.
- The recovery time for hair transplant surgery can be significant. The individual will typically need to take time off work and avoid strenuous activity for several weeks after the procedure.
By contrast, PRP begins with a simple blood draw from the patient. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors, is then injected into the scalp.
The growth factors in the plasma stimulate the hair follicles to enter what is called a “growth phase,” and with it, the production of new hair. Additionally, PRP has been found to improve the overall health of the scalp by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
One of the best things about PRP therapy is that it is non-surgical and non-invasive. Unlike hair transplant surgery, there is no need for incisions or anesthesia. The procedure is quick and easy, and patients can return to their normal activities right away.
PRP therapy is also a natural treatment option. Since it uses the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of an allergic reaction or rejection. Additionally, PRP therapy is a good alternative for those who do not want to undergo surgery or take medication.
PRP has been proven to be highly effective in promoting hair growth and increasing hair density in those with male pattern baldness.
