How Can PRP Help Me?

PRP is a non-surgical procedure that involves taking the patient’s blood, putting it into a centrifuge, and extracting platelets from it. It is believed that the extracted plasma is extremely potent because it is in a concentrated form. The platelet-rich plasma can speed up the healing process and facilitate the recovery of injured ligaments, tissue, muscles, and joints. The plasma is full of platelet-rich proteins. The platelets are small blood cells that play an important role in the body and are responsible for blood clotting. 

Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Brief History

As you may already know, PRP is often used to treat acute injuries and pain in the tendon. When tendons are hurt, they are known to heal very slowly. Therefore, a platelet-rich plasma injection into the damaged tendon can speed up the recovery rate. The same process can be used to treat thinning hair and/or hair loss in a natural and easy way. 

PRP and Hair Loss 

PRP can also be used to treat hair loss. It is effective in treating a very common type of pattern baldness. PRP for hair restoration is a straightforward process. Blood is drawn from the patient and then placed into a centrifuge to create a concentrated platelet-rich plasma solution. The plasma is then put into a syringe and injected into the areas of the scalp that needs hair growth. 

The injected PRP is believed to not only help hair grow but also provide extra blood supply to the hair follicles. The surplus in blood supply can create a thicker texture as the hair starts to grow in. This hair restoration procedure typically requires a series of treatment sessions in order for it to be the most effective. 

Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma for Hair Restoration

There are many benefits to getting this treatment. The first benefit is that the results are designed to be long-lasting. PRP results can last for many months, if not longer. The second benefit is that it is very unlikely that the patient will suffer any adverse allergic reactions. Since the blood is withdrawn from the patient’s own body, the PRP injections will be easily absorbed back into the body. Another benefit of PRP treatment is that it does not require any surgery.
