PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a well-known medical treatment for a wide range of ailments, including hair loss, skin rejuvenation, and anti-aging. Platelet-rich plasma therapies restore and rejuvenate the skin and hair follicles by using a component of your patient’s blood (platelets). It can be used to promote and restore hair growth in situations of hair loss.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments are a ground-breaking new set of procedures that can be used to treat hair loss in both men and women by activating regenerative cells in the hair follicle and stimulating new hair growth. While the treatment’s effectiveness varies, it can be utilised to encourage new hair growth and produce significant results in successful patients.
What causes hair loss?
Hair loss can manifest itself in a variety of ways. Androgenic alopecia, a frequent kind of hair loss caused primarily by hormone imbalances, is one of them. Psychological disturbances such as stress and anxiety, as well as dietary deficits, can induce diffuse alopecia. Finally, alopecia areata is an autoimmune illness characterised by hair loss in part or all areas of the scalp. PRP hair loss treatment is a great way to reverse this.
How does PRP work?
Platelets are high in growth factors and are utilised to help your skin repair and revitalise. Not all PRP products are the same; a popular choice that we recommend specifically for hair loss is RegenLab’s RegenPRP class iib medical device, which uses innovative thixotropic separator gel technology to achieve a standardized PRP output & the best possible outcome. The treatment stimulates cell development and rejuvenation by infusing growth factors directly into the affected area.
Blood is obtained for platelet-rich plasma treatments, which is similar to a blood test. The blood is then separated into layers: plasma with platelets and red blood cells using a centrifuge machine. The platelet-rich plasma is then collected in a syringe and injected into areas of the scalp where more hair growth is needed.
PRP uses autologous growth factors & plasma nutrients, to renew and revitalise the skin and hair follicles, relying on the body’s natural healing processes. This provides a boost to the cells in the area, helping them to perform better. The concentrated platelets in PRP can stimulate the stem cells and other cells in the hair follicles, resulting in hair follicle growth.
The advantages of PRP for hair loss
One of the key advantages of platelet-rich plasma therapy is that it involves injecting the patient’s own blood into the scalp, which eliminates the chance of catching a communicable disease. Platelet-rich plasma injections, when used as a skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatment, can improve skin texture and suppleness by increasing collagen production and encouraging cells to repair and replace.
How fast does PRP work?
Platelet rich plasma treatment for hair loss has been shown to be extremely successful, especially when combined with other hair loss or hair thinning therapies. Most people will need at least two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart to obtain the best effects. It’s best to think of it as a long-term investment rather than a quick fix – this is due to the skin’s ability to both generate new cells and regenerate existing ones.
Patience will be required for the full effect, which will take several sessions. PRP is a longer-term investment, but we’re confident that after patients see the results, they’ll comprehend the method and how it has improved the performance of their skin.
Treatment outcomes can last up to two years, depending on each person’s hair follicles, as well as a variety of other factors that you would discuss during the consultation.
