PRP treatment for hair loss
A natural treatment for hair loss with your own platelets? It’s perfectly possible, and it has only become more popular in recent years! Meet Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP.
What is PRP?
PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. It is proprietary plasma containing a large amount of platelets. To obtain PRP, blood is first drawn and then centrifuged in a specific machine. What remains is plasma with a high concentration of platelets that is reintroduced into the scalp.
What is the great asset of picture-rich plasma?
PRP is rich in various growth factors that, on the one hand, stimulate hair growth and, on the other, contribute to the rejuvenation of the skin, joints and tendons. This is because these growth factors improve the development and survival of cells and activate blood flow in the skin. In this way, they provide a boost to hair disorders or skin problems.
How is PRP used in hair disorders?
In cases of hair loss or incipient baldness, Platelet Rich Plasma guarantees a natural treatment. Blood drawn from the patient is then injected into the scalp in a concentrated formula. Those injections can cause localized but temporary pain during and after the treatment. As a result of this treatment, hair growth is stimulated, thinning hair regains thickness and the hair follicles are nourished. Platelet-rich plasma also works preventively against (further) hair loss.
One PRP treatment is not the other
Treatments with Platelet Rich Plasma are in full swing today. However, that is not to say that all treatments are equally effective. The frequency of treatment, the amount of blood administered and the rates also vary widely. It is therefore advisable to choose a specialized treatment center or a hair clinic with references in the field of this treatment. They will basically work with advanced devices for the production of concentrated and pure (without white and red blood cells) PRP. And they also perform the treatment according to the applicable standards.
