PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is a non-surgical, medical treatment that uses the patient's own blood to promote hair growth. The procedure involves taking a sample of the patient's blood, which is then processed to separate out the platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then injected or applied topically to the area of the scalp where hair growth is desired.
The platelets in PRP contain growth factors that can promote healing and cell growth. When the PRP is injected into the scalp, it is thought to stimulate the hair follicles, causing them to enter into a growth phase. The treatment is sometimes done in combination with other hair loss treatments, such as hair transplant surgery. PRP treatment is considered to be safe and well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. It can take several months to see results from the treatment, and multiple sessions may be needed to achieve the desired outcome. It's important to keep in mind that while PRP is considered to be an effective treatment option for hair loss, research on the treatment is ongoing. Results do vary and it is not the correct choice of treatment for all types and stages of hair loss. This is why you should consult a good dermatologist before choosing to go ahead with this treatment.
