PRP Therapy



PRP therapy is a non-surgical, natural method to promote hair growth and reduce hair thinning. It is an alternative and an additional treatment to medical therapy. It uses the potential of blood-derived platelets to promote hair growth. Anyone with hair thinning or hair loss can go for this treatment.

PRP utilizes the potential of regeneration in our own body cells for hair growth. Certain cells in our body are actively dividing. These cells release growth factors when stimulated. PRP uses the potential of platelets to help hair growth and improve hair thickness.



In order to understand what PRP is, we must first get some idea about platelets and plasma. Our blood contains platelets in large number. The platelets are small, colourless and fragmented cellular structures that help in blood clotting. It has a shape like that of a disc and does not contain any nucleus.
Plasma is the non-cellular and liquid part of blood that contains all the coagulation elements, that is water, fibrinogen and electrolytes. In PRP therapy, the platelets are concentrated at one place and plasma is produced from the patient’s blood. This plasma, when injected into the affected areas of the scalp, stimulates cell multiplication and promotes faster healing.

Procedure

At first, doctors take a little amount of blood from the patient’s body and collect it in a tube. Then, they place the blood tube in a machine known as centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the blood tube and segregates the red blood cells from plasma. The plasma so obtained is then used for the treatment Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment.





Step 1: The doctor identifies the core areas of the scalp that needs to be treated. Based on the area of affected portion, they arrange the required amount of plasma.

Step 2: They collect the residual and platelet-rich plasma and inject it into the targeted areas with a specialised thin needle.

It is a flexible and innovative process resulting in quicker re-growth of hair and development of thick hair. No side effects, since no external medicine is used. The session is performed once monthly for 3-4 sessions. Later, maintenance sessions may be performed
