PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Treatment
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is derived from your own blood, containing a higher concentration of platelets than normal blood. These platelets are a rich source of growth factors such as:
​
-
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
-
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
-
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
-
Transforming growth factor (TGF)
​
These growth factors stimulate hair growth, repair inflammation at the hair roots, and make hair thicker and stronger.
How PRP Works in Hair Loss
-
Stimulates stem cells to become hair follicle cells.
​
-
Prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle, resulting in healthier, longer-lasting hair.
Benefits of PRP
-
Increases terminal hair density (thick, pigmented hairs).
​
-
Effective in treating hair thinning, alopecia aerate, and androgenetic alopecia.
​
-
Can be combined with hair transplantation or used as a standalone treatment.
​
-
Helps preserve hair grafts during hair transplants.
How PRP Treatment is Done
1. Plasma Retrieval
​
-
A small amount (around 20 ml) of blood is drawn from your arm. This blood is then processed in a temperature-controlled centrifuge to isolate the plasma.
​
2. Separation of Platelets
​
-
Platelets are concentrated through a two-step centrifugation process. The final PRP contains at least 5 times the normal platelet count (> 1,000,000 platelets/cumm). This concentrated PRP is then activated with an appropriate activator under sterile lab conditions to ensure the best results.
​
3. PRP Injection
​
-
The PRP is injected into areas of hair loss under local anesthesia, making the procedure nearly painless. For those who prefer a needle-free approach, we offer needle-less PRP, where PRP is electroporated into the dermis to release growth factors into the hair roots.
Advantages of PRP
-
Can be used in various hair loss conditions such as alopecia aerate, androgenetic alopecia, and female pattern hair loss.
​
-
No oral or topical medications are required.
​
-
Effective in stopping hair shedding and promoting thicker hair growth after 2-3 sessions.
Effectiveness of PRP
PRP has been proven effective in several studies. After 2-3 sessions:​
​​
-
Hair shedding and active hair loss are reduced.
​
-
Thinning, miniaturized hairs become thicker and stronger.
​
-
Hair texture improves.
​
-
Some individuals may even experience new hair growth.
Who is a Candidate for PRP?
PRP is suitable for those with:
​
-
Hair thinning or early-stage androgenetic alopecia.
​
-
Female pattern hair loss.
​
-
Chronic telogen effluvium. In advanced cases of baldness, PRP is most effective when combined with a hair transplant.
