What is PRP for Hair?

Protein-rich plasma therapy is a non-invasive hair loss treatment that uses growth factors present in blood plasma to stimulate hair growth on the scalp. Blood plasma is rich in proteins & hormones that promote the growth of new cells so that PRP therapy can trigger & maintain hair growth from the hair follicles. Plasma hair treatment has also been observed to make the hair shaft thicker, shinier, & increase overall hair volume, making it look luscious & silky smooth.

What are the Steps Involved in Plasma Therapy for Hair?

PRP hair treatment is a simple procedure that has three main steps

• Step 1: Blood is drawn from the patient’s body, most typically from the arm. The extracted blood is then put into a centrifuge machine
• Step 2: The centrifuge machine divides the blood into three parts; red blood cells, plasma with many platelets, & plasma with very few platelets. The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is extracted using a syringe
• Step 3: In the final step, the extracted PRP is injected into the scalp, where it enriches the hair follicles with the proteins required for hair growth

The procedure is non-invasive, & most patients have reported only slight discomfort during the process. We always prepare the target area with numbing cream before the injection. The patient needs 4-6 sessions with 2-4 weeks intervals based on the case.

Why is Plasma Hair Treatment Done?

Men & women experience hair fall due to many different reasons, the major ones being:

• Hereditary Factors: Men & women with a family history of hair fall tend to experience premature hair loss & balding. Hair loss due to genetics is more common in men than in women & often leads to receding hairline & the appearance of a bald spot in the crown region of the scalp
• Aging: With age, the body’s ability to produce thick hair strands tends to decline, so the hair becomes finer & thinner in appearance. It is also true that our hair follicles tend to stop producing hair as we grow older. This is because the body loses its ability to produce melanocytes, melanin-producing cells

Premature balding & hair loss can have a very negative impact on an individual’s self-esteem & confidence. For this reason, PRP treatment is one of the preferable treatment options for those suffering from hair loss. Plasma therapy for hair can help in reducing excessive hair loss & hair thinning, thus preventing balding. It stimulates the hair follicles to produce hair by enriching them with nutrients, giving you healthier, stronger, & shinier hair that boosts self-esteem & looks pleasing to the eyes.

Benefits of Plasma Hair Treatment

Plasma hair treatment, an easy & non-invasive procedure, has numerous benefits for people suffering from hair loss. Some of them as listed below:

• Stops premature balding
• Strengthens the hair follicle
• Thickens the hair shaft
• Increases hair volume
• Strengthens the hair strands
• Reduces hair fall
• Provides prominent results within a few months of the procedure

Who needs PRP Hair Treatment?

PRP treatment is for anyone that wishes to stop age-related or genetic hair fall. For individuals experiencing male pattern balding, plasma hair treatment can help prevent a receding hairline & restore hair thickness around the crown. This gives the hair a healthier & more appealing appearance. Women commonly experience age-related hair loss around the hair parting. PRP treatment helps reverse this inevitable aging in women & makes the part look fuller, giving the hair a more youthful appearance. Plasma therapy for hair can also benefit individuals who have thin & fine hair, as it helps thicken hair strands & increases hair volume. Hair loss should not get in the way of feeling comfortable in your appearance, so plasma hair treatment & other hair loss treatments are there to help prevent just that.

Should you Expect any Pain During & After the Procedure?

Before the PRP is injected into the scalp, the aesthetician applies a numbing cream to the target area. This ensures that any pain experienced by the patient is reduced. Most patients experience only very slight discomfort during the injection. It is also common to experience some soreness at the sites of injection. The treatment is quite comfortable for most recipients, with only very faint pain or discomfort.

What are the Possible Risks of Plasma Hair Treatment?

Like every other cosmetic procedure, PRP hair treatment has certain risks, such as

• Formation of scar tissue
• Minor infection
• Possible damage to blood vessels

How to Prepare for PRP Hair Treatment?

If you decide to undergo plasma therapy for hair, our aesthetician will guide you about the steps you need to take in preparation for the procedure. Before receiving treatment, it is important to consider the following steps:

•  Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications
• Do not consume alcohol
• Avoid smoking cigarettes
• Inform your aesthetician about any illnesses or allergies that you may have

What Type of Aftercare is Needed for the Treatment?

Although there are minimal risks involved in plasma therapy for hair, it is essential to take certain measures to allow the scalp to heal comfortably & avoid all risks. Some necessary aftercare measures are as follows:

• Ensure to keep yourself hydrated
• Avoid too much exercise
• Avoid using ice to soothe the swelling
• Do not use painkillers for around fourteen days after treatment
• Avoid touching the area
• Avoid excessive exposure to the sun for two to three days after treatment
• Avoid drinking alcohol or consuming too much salt as this may exacerbate the swelling
• Consult a doctor if you experience irregular inflammation or excessive pain

Results of Plasma Hair Treatment

Platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair has proven to be an effective hair regeneration & restoration technique in most patients. However, the treatment results are not immediate as the scalp needs time to process the nourishment & allow the hair to grow. The first results may be observed after around three to four weeks, & these results will continue to improve over the following months. Results may vary from person to person, but optimal results may only be achieved after multiple sessions.
