PRP For Hair Loss

To get platelet enriched plasma which will be applied into the scalp, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient. After the blood centrifuge, the separation produces platelet enriched plasma which will release growth factors and cytokines. Once separated, the blood plasma is injected with miniature needles numerous times into the scalp. This procedure stimulates the growth of hair follicles, creates new blood vessels and regenerates the scalp tissue. After the treatment there are no adverse reactions except mild redness which withdraws 24 hours after the intervention.

PRP therapy is used successfully in androgenic alopecia, alopecia areata and scarring alopecia of different causes, and in which the standard vitamins, corticosteroids and minoxidil therapy hasn’t provided the desired outcome. The best results are achieved in the initial stages of hair loss. Therapy activates hair follicles which go from the inactive stage to the active growth phase. PRP therapy is indicated in men who have hair loss in the frontal-temporal regions and in initial hair loss in the parietal part of the scalp. The therapy produces poorer results in later stages when hair loss encapsulates larger surface of the scalp which then connects with the hair loss in the frontal-temporal regions. The earlier the treatment is started the greater the likelihood of hair re-growth. 

Positive results of the PRP for hair loss are achieved in over 80% of the cases. The hair becomes thicker, significant reduction pf hair loss is noticeable, and any further thinning process is stopped.

To achieve good results, sessions of 4-6 treatments need to be done in 4 - 6 weeks intervals.
