PRP method

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection hair loss therapy is a very natural, non-surgical and innovative method for high-quality hair restoration. It is a treatment option for patients who need hair growth promotion depending on their hair loss condition. 

With a thin needle, your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is injected into your scalp. Then the growth factors of blood cells play a role and hair growth is stimulated naturally. PRP Hair Restoration is suitable for both men and women. It is an injection that uses the patient's own blood.

How do you carry out the procedure?

Blood sampling: 30-60ml of blood is drawn from the patient's arm.

Platelet separation: blood is placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins and separates the platelets from the remaining blood components.

Platelet-rich plasma extraction: Extracts 3-6ml platelet-rich plasma.

Blood is taken at our office, just like you do a routine blood test in your PCP's office. The blood is spun in a centrifuge and the PRP is separated and removed from the rest of the blood.

PRP is extracted from the body and is specially prepared by rotating blood cells to high concentrations. An anesthetic block is placed on the nerves of the scalp so that the patient does not feel pain. Then, plasma rich in platelets (PRP) is injected into the scalp. Then the patient's hair is washed and the patient can drive home without assistance. No sedatives or drugs are given during the procedure.

PRP contains many growth factors that promote the growth of hair follicles. PRP can be used before, during, or after surgery. Because initial data suggest periodic or semi-annual PRP treatments that can stimulate hair growth, some patients have chosen to perform PRP every 3 to 4 months.

Does PRP work?

Individual outcomes vary from patient to patient. Although success cannot be guaranteed, PRP preliminary studies have shown that patients may respond to PRP therapy. Some hair restoration surgeons apply PRP to the scalp. Read less

It is suitable for patients who are not candidates for surgery every 3 to 4 months. Other protocols use PRP before or during surgery to ensure the viability of the graft.

PRP is a potential non-surgical based treatment for natural hair follicle stimulation that thins hair. Although larger clinical studies are underway, the current medical literature contains many optimistic results. While several controlled studies exist, anecdotes and case reports are the main sources reflecting the success of PRP treatment.

Can different medical therapies be used at the same time?

sure. In fact, we recommend and prescribe PRP therapy to complement a non-surgical approach for patients who do not qualify for surgery or wish to postpone hair restoration surgery.

How long does PRP treatment take?

The actual procedure typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

What is the danger?

There is no risk of allergic reactions with PRP therapy because concentrated plasma is produced in the patient's own blood. The concentrated amount of white blood cells make up part of PRP, which is a natural defender against infection in the body. Therefore, infection is extremely rare.

 conclusion

In summary, PRP therapy provides an opportunity for hair growth for patients who are not subject to surgery or who want a more aggressive non-surgical treatment method.

For patients with surgery, PRP treatment is performed on the same day as the hair restoration surgery. Whether you are looking for additional hair stimulation or hair surgery by adding PRP, the R5 Aesthetics and Healthcare Center can meet your needs. Results may vary from patient to patient, and PRP, a non-surgical option, did not provide patients with miniaturization and improvement in hair thinning in terms of hair size and thickness.
