PRP Treatment

A Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy stimulates growth within the dormant hair follicles and facilitates higher density growth after a hair transplant. The treatment can help individuals improve their scalp’s response to the hair restoration treatment and their chances of treatment success. Besides this, PRP is a highly potent pre-hair transplant therapy as well. The procedure works by drawing plasma-rich blood out of the patient and using it to deliver essential nutrients and growth factors into the dormant hair follicles. These growth factors help the scalp revive any stunted growth naturally.

Who Needs/Candidates

Individuals suffering from stunted hair growth, excessive hair loss, or balding will benefit from a PRP therapy. Those going to or already having received a hair transplant such as FUT or FUE make the ideal client for the treatment. Some of the qualities that may make you more suitable for a PRP include:

Results to Expect

It’s important to note that PRP plays a supplementary role in hair growth and is typically used to enhance the results of a hair transplant. While the results will highly depend on the success of your hair transplant, the health of your scalp, and other individual situations, you can expect the following from your PRP therapy:

PRP is also highly potent as an independent therapy for less serious cases of hair loss. However, an independent treatment doesn’t work well for advanced stages of balding.

Treatment Goals

The primary reason for undergoing PRP therapy is the ability to increase hair density, accelerate growth, revive dormant hair follicles, and increase the overall success of a hair transplant. Androgenetic alopecia is a common condition that causes the hair follicle to shrink and stunt hair growth. Doctors also recommend a PRP as the first choice of treatment for hair loss caused by such a condition. The main goal is to provide healthy platelets that can deliver nutrients, vitamins, hormones, and growth factors needed by dormant and weak follicles to grow effectively.

Preparation/Pre-Op Care

It’s important to prepare for the treatment well in advance to prevent the risk of complications. Take the following steps to ensure a smoother experience:

Treatment Steps

A PRP therapy involves multiple sessions where your blood is withdrawn, refined into a more potent state, and then carefully injected into the balding areas. Below are the primary steps involved in the treatment:

Your practitioner will consult you regarding the areas you want to fix and the hair density you desire.

A small amount of blood is taken from your arm according to the needs of your scalp.

The blood is refined in a centrifuge to separate the platelets, which will then be prepared for reinjection.

Your scalp is disinfected and injected with the PRP in the problem areas with a fine needle.

The PRP will trigger collagen production within the damaged follicles and tissues.

The same process will be repeated for at least 3-6 sessions with at least four weeks of a gap.

Recovery/Post-Op Care

Because of multiple injections, your scalp may experience bumpy skin, multiple tender spots, swelling, and bruising. Engaging in a postoperative care routine can help you minimise discomfort and enable quicker healing. Your care routine should include:

At least one week of downtime for recovery.
Not touching your scalp excessively.
Only applying any ointments or hair care products after consultation
Not washing your hair for at least 12 hours after the treatment.
Avoiding all products that may cause infection in the injected areas.
Refraining from sports and other intensive activities for at least one week

Benefits Expected

Doctors often recommend PRP therapy as the first line of treatment due to its ability to deliver natural results. It is also highly effective as an independent treatment, allowing individuals with less drastic conditions to avoid hair transplants. Some of the other benefits include:

Ability to reverse hair loss and hair thinning
Enriching the tissues and follicles to foster growth.
Improved vascularity within the hair roots resulting in increased follicle viability
Tissue repair and regeneration result in healthier growth and quick recovery
Helping the suffering hair follicles become healthy and grow new hair.
More nutrient, vitamin, and protein-rich environment essential for cell survival and improved follicle resilience.
Prominent results without invasive methods.
Minimal recovery times of 1-2 weeks.
Ability to deliver a fully natural look.
