PRP Treatments
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment for hair loss involves using a patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness and quality. The process includes drawing blood, processing it to isolate PRP, and injecting it into the scalp in areas of hair thinning or loss. PRP contains concentrated growth factors that can promote hair regrowth and improve hair density.
PRP Treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Overview
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood to promote healing and stimulate growth in tissues like skin, hair follicles, and joints. It’s popular in dermatology, orthopedics, and aesthetic medicine.
🔬 How It Works:
A small amount of your blood is drawn.
It’s spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components.
The concentrated PRP (rich in growth factors) is injected into the targeted area.
