How PRP is Used for Hair Regrowth
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to stimulate the scalp and hair follicles. This treatment involves extracting a small sample of the patient’s blood, processing it in a centrifuge to isolate the plasma rich in platelets and growth factors, and then administering this concentrated plasma into the scalp using a syringe. The growth factors in the PRP promote increased blood circulation and nutrient delivery to the hair follicles, which can result in hair regrowth.
PRP therapy is suitable for individuals experiencing various forms of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia. By stimulating dormant hair follicles, PRP can encourage new hair growth and increase hair density. Unlike some hair loss treatments that rely on medication or surgery, PRP therapy uses the patient’s own biological material.
What to Expect from PRP for Hair Regrowth
The process begins with an initial consultation, during which our team assesses the patient’s hair loss, discusses their medical history, and outlines what PRP therapy entails. This initial evaluation is crucial for determining the suitability of PRP treatment for each individual’s specific type of hair loss and setting realistic expectations for the outcome.
The PRP treatment itself involves discomfort, which can be described as a stinging or pinching sensation as the concentrated plasma containing the platelets is administered into the scalp. Following the procedure, patients can return to their normal activities. While some may experience temporary tenderness or swelling at the treatment sites, these symptoms typically resolve after a few days. Results from PRP therapy for hair regrowth can vary, with signs of new hair growth observed within a few months of their initial treatment. A series of PRP sessions may be recommended, along with maintenance treatments to sustain hair regrowth.
Our clinic ensures that each patient receives personalised care throughout their PRP therapy experience. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and support, advising on how to care for the scalp post-treatment and recommending any additional steps or products that can increase the effectiveness of PRP therapy. Our goal is to ensure that patients are fully informed about the treatment process.
