About PRP for Hair
Hair loss and hair thinning are common problems in both genders across all age groups. This problem has led to the birth of many hair restoration products with different rates of success. One of those hair restoration treatments is platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Platelets play an integral part in the healing process. Along with red and white blood cells, these platelets or thrombocytes, are found in the blood and play several important roles.
Thanks to PRP, promising results have been seen in both men and women.
Platelet-rich plasma has several important growth factors, and help maintain homeostasis by forming blood clots and releasing the chemicals that repair tissue.
PRP hair treatment does just that. The process involves drawing blood from the patient, which is then sent through a centrifuge to separate the components of the blood and isolate the concentration of vital platelets used to promote healing. They are injected into the scalp to encourage tissue regeneration and facilitate hair growth.
