Hair loss is a common concern for many individuals, impacting self-esteem and quality of life. Fortunately, advancements in dermatological treatments offer hope, and PRP therapy has emerged as a promising solution.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an innovative treatment which involves extracting a small sample of the patient’s blood, which is then processed to isolate the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains growth factors and proteins that promote tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle, and enhances hair thickness and density.
PRP therapy for hair growth typically involves a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. During each session, the dermatologist carefully injects PRP into the scalp using a fine needle. The procedure is minimally invasive and well- tolerated by most patients, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
While individual responses may vary, many patients experience noticeable improvements in hair density and thickness within a few months of starting PRP therapy. It’s essential to have realistic expectations and understand that multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results. Additionally, PRP therapy is most effective for individuals with early-stage hair loss or as a complementary treatment alongside other hair restoration approaches. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a promising solution for individuals struggling with hair loss. If you’re considering PRP therapy for hair restoration, consult with one of our dermatologists to explore whether this treatment is right for you.
