Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair loss?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair loss is a treatment that uses a biological product made from the patient’s own blood. This plasma is rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins, along with nutrients and other beneficial substances that help speed up tissue repair and regeneration. By removing certain cellular components from the blood, like red blood cells and white blood cells, which can slow down the healing process, PRP therapy boosts hair density and reduces hair loss to normal levels. Positive changes are often noticed within 90 days, with ongoing hair growth improvements for some patients up to 6 months. PRP can also be combined with other hair loss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, hair transplants, and Viviscal Professional supplements. This approach has shown promising results for both male and female patients with androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata.

What is involved in PRP for hair loss?

We start by collecting a small amount of the patient’s blood, which is then processed in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells. We use a system, which employs a special separator gel to keep the red cells separated. The plasma is then injected into the scalp in a grid pattern. The entire treatment usually lasts about an hour.

For a complete treatment, patients typically undergo three sessions of PRP, with one set of injections given each month, spanning a three-month period. Afterward, ongoing maintenance treatments are recommended every six months.

Required Aftercare for PRP for Hair Loss

Patients are instructed not to wash their hair or scalp for 24 hours after the procedure. While most individuals don’t experience significant pain during the treatment, if there is any discomfort, taking paracetamol can alleviate it.

Step-by-Step Guide to PRP Treatment

PRP therapy utilizes your own blood to promote hair growth. The procedure typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes and includes the following steps:

Blood extraction

A small amount of blood (30 to 60 milliliters) is taken from a vein in your arm and collected in a tube.

Centrifugation

The blood is spun in a laboratory device called a “centrifuge” to separate the platelets from other blood cells.

Anesthesia

A numbing cream is applied to the scalp to reduce discomfort during the procedure.

Optional microneedling

Sometimes, microneedling is performed alongside PRP therapy. This involves using a device with tiny needles to create small skin injuries, enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of PRP.

Injection

A dermatologist injects the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp using small needles, typically in a grid-like pattern, targeting areas of hair loss.
