Understanding PRP Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy
PRP therapy is a transformative approach to treating hair diseases, including excessive hair loss and baldness. This treatment harnesses the regenerative properties of your own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors that stimulate hair follicles. These growth factors play a crucial role in reducing hair fall and encouraging the growth of new hair in treated areas.
Why Choose PRP Therapy for Hair Loss?
- Safety: The plasma used is derived from your own body, minimizing any risk of allergic or inflammatory reactions.
- Efficiency: Each session lasts just 30 to 45 minutes, with no downtime required. You can return to your daily activities almost immediately.
- Natural Results: PRP is entirely natural, enhancing hair growth without the use of chemicals or foreign substances.
The PRP Treatment Process
Our PRP therapy involves a simple, three-step process:
- Collection: A small sample of your blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
- Activation: The PRP is then activated to release the growth factors that promote hair regeneration.
- Injection: The activated PRP is carefully injected into the scalp areas affected by hair loss using a fine needle.
To achieve the best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Most clients begin to see significant improvement in hair thickness and coverage within 3 to 6 months after completing their treatment series.
Ideal Candidates for PRP Therapy
This therapy is perfect for individuals experiencing:
- Excessive hair loss
- Thinning hair
- Receding hairlines
- Alopecia areata and androgenetic alopecia
However, it’s important to note that PRP may not be suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for those with certain medical conditions or those undergoing specific treatments.
Preparing for Your PRP Session
While PRP therapy requires minimal preparation, we advise our clients to:
- Hydrate well on the day of the treatment, consuming 1.5 to 2 liters of water.
- Avoid taking blood thinners and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for a week prior to the session (consult your GP first).
- Refrain from alcohol and cigarettes on the day of the procedure.
Aftercare for PRP Therapy
To maximize the benefits of your PRP treatment:
- Avoid touching or washing your hair for the first 48 hours.
- Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and a good conditioner when you resume washing.
- Steer clear of styling products and heat-styling tools for at least a week.
- Consider regular scalp massages to stimulate blood flow.
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals to support hair growth.
