Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy for Hair
What is PRP for Hair?
PRP therapy for hair loss is a medical treatment that involves drawing a person’s blood, processing it, and then injecting it into their scalp. The injections may trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and thickening the hair shaft. This treatment can be combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.
PRP is a popular method to treat hair loss, the procedure is painless and requires no recovery time. PRP has been found to help both men and women, particularly those with androgenetic alopecia, also known as male-pattern baldness in men and thinning hair in women.
The theory is that the platelets, when injected into the scalp, can stimulate a specialized population of cells called dermal papilla cells, which play a crucial role in hair growth.
