One of the common problems affecting millions of people is hair loss. With many men and women struggling with hair loss and baldness problems, doctors have been prescribing medicines or performing hair transplant therapy. However, many such options had negative side effects like sexual dysfunction, an itchy scalp, ora long recovery period.

Due to these reasons, PRP or Platelet-rich plasma therapy has become the rising trend in treating many problems in cosmetology, orthopaedics, gynaecology, dentistry, and even in treating hair loss problems.

What is Platelet-rich plasma therapy?

The main contents of blood are red blood cells and plasma. White blood cells and platelets in plasma are high in growth factors. These platelets promote hair growth.

PRP involves drawing blood from the arms of the patient. This blood is spun to extract plasma.The platelet-rich plasma is injected into the areas on the scalp with hair loss. One PRP session includes 15-20 injections.

The spinning or the centrifugation of the blood is done using high quality PRP tubes which is the key element in a PRP therapy process. The online store of Dr.RenatAkhmerov’sPlasmolifting Technologies produces reliable and supreme quality PRP tubes that are equipped witha separation cell. The tube makes the PRP production process extremely simple, convenient, and faster. You can purchase everything from their online store needed for PRP procedures.

How does PRP boost hair growth?

PRP treatment has been gaining worldwide popularity for the last few years. The treatment stimulates the activity of hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.

According to some renowned dermatologists, PRP treatment is a great option for hair loss as it increases hair count, hair thickness and promotes hair growth. They state that PRP acts as a miracle for the scalp as it amplifies the natural repair system of the body while stimulating hair growth.

The Process

Just like other procedures, it involves the standard procedure for hair loss of extracting plasma from the red blood cells in PRP tubes through centrifugation. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into the scalp at the point of the hair follicle.

The process is done very carefully with injections given at every half an inch over the area of hair loss. The entire process gets over in hardly an hour.

There are no real risks involved with this procedure as there is hardly any discomfort. However, cool ice packs can be applied if there is any pain.

Who can benefit?

PRP is most beneficial for men who are suffering from androgenic alopecia or baldness at the top area of the head and among women who are leading towards thin hair all over the scalp.

PRP may not be good for some with:

• Health conditions leading to hair loss due to thyroid, lupus
• A history of bleeding or clotting disorder, hepatitis, blood thinners
• Skin cancer.

PRP therapy for hair loss is relatively very safe and painless as it involves taking plasma from your blood and injecting it into your scalp for stimulating hair growth. However, one must have patience and devote time to get this treatment done for successful results.
