PRP for hair loss
In a three-step medical procedure called PRP (platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair loss), a patient's blood is extracted, processed, and then injected into the scalp.
Some medical professionals believe that PRP injections stimulate and maintain natural hair growth by boosting blood flow to the hair follicle and thickening the hair shaft. This method is occasionally used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments or drugs.
PRP therapy, on the other hand, has been utilized since the 1980s. It has been utilized to treat issues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments that are injured.
There are three steps to PRP therapy. Three treatments, spaced at 4–6 weeks intervals, are typical for PRP therapy.
Every 4–6 months, maintenance treatments are necessary.
Step 1 Involves drawing blood from you usually from your arm and placing it in a centrifugal machine (a machine that spins rapidly to apart matters of different densities).
Step 2 Your blood will have divided into three layers after roughly 10 minutes in the centrifuge. 1. Platelet-poor plasma 2. Platelet-rich plasma 3. Red blood cells
Step 3 A syringe is used to draw up the platelet-rich plasma which is subsequently injected into the scalp's balding spots.
