PRP Hair Treatment – An Effective Treatment for Hair Loss

PRP, also known as Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a medical procedure that involves the extraction of platelet-rich plasma from the patient’s blood. To do so, Dr. Yaman will draw out a small amount of blood and will separate the PRP from your blood. Once that is done, the doctor will inject the PRP into the area of your scalp where hair growth is desired. Thanks to the healing properties found within the platelet-rich plasma, your hair will start to grow back stronger, thicker, and healthier than before.

That said, PRP injections are not exclusively limited to treating hair loss. They have many other applications, which we will closely examine below.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma Used For?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has many applications, and below, we’ll go into a little more detail about the different uses where PRP treatment can be highly beneficial.

Skin Rejuvenation

Due to environmental factors and advancing age, signs of aging will start to appear on the skin in the form of wrinkles, lack of plumpness, and more. Most people, especially women who start to experience signs of aging are affected negatively. And for those who want to rejuvenate their skin and bring it back to life, PRP injections are a great solution. Once you undergo a PRP treatment, your wrinkles will be reduced to a minimum.

Tendon Problems

If you suffer from chronic tendon problems, a PRP injection can become a great supportive treatment as it accelerates the healing process. Some examples of tendon problems where PRP is suitable include if you’re suffering from the condition known as ‘tennis elbow,’ pain, and inflammation in the patellar tendon in the knee. If you undergo a surgical procedure, the rich platelet plasma from your blood (which is found in the injections) will help immensely.

Osteoarthritis

Patients suffering from osteoarthritis in their knees and hips can benefit from a PRP treatment due to its natural and healing ingredients. In other words, the properties in the injection stimulate the area of the body that you’re having trouble with to heal and operate normally.

Hair Loss

Patients suffering from hair loss often find PRP hair treatments extremely helpful in preventing hair loss. Once your platelet-rich plasma is injected into your treatment area, eventually, your hair follicles won’t only get stronger, but will be encouraged to grow. What’s more, this treatment works equally well for both men and women. In some cases, doctors use PRP with mesotherapy to get better results.

Advantages of PRP Hair Treatment

Like all hair treatments, PRP has improved tremendously since it was first introduced as a treatment on the market. Below, we will go over some of the advantages you will get by getting the platelet-rich plasma treatment:

• There’s no risk of infectious diseases (since the patient’s own blood is used)
• There is also no risk of allergies
• Results take 2 to 6 weeks to show
• It’s great for repairing damaged hair follicles
• Once your hair strands are repaired, they will start to grow, reducing the problem of hair loss
