PRP (Platelet-rich plasma ) therapy for hair loss is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a person’s own blood to promote hair growth. PRP injections are rich in proteins called growth factors, which may stimulate dormant hair follicles when injected into the scalp, encouraging hair regeneration.
PRP(Platelet-rich plasma) is a special mixture made from your blood. It contains two main parts: plasma, which is the liquid part of blood, and platelets, which are tiny blood cells that help with healing. Platelets are important because they help your blood clot and contain substances that help your body make new cells and heal damaged tissue. PRP is simply blood that has more platelets than usual, which means it has extra healing power.
PRP is made by taking a small sample of your blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. These platelets are packed with growth factors and proteins that help your body heal and regenerate tissue. When used in cosmetic treatments, PRP can stimulate collagen production, improve skin texture, and speed up healing.
A small amount of blood (30-60ml) is drawn from the patient’s arm.
The blood goes for a “spin” in a centrifuge separating the platelets from the rest of the blood.
The patient’s own platelet-rich plasma is now extracted from the test tube.
The plasma is injected into the desired area.
