PRP therapy for hair loss is a treatment that involves withdrawing a patient's own blood, processing it so that only the enriched cells (platelet-rich plasma) remain, and injecting it into the scalp. PRP contains essential proteins that stimulate natural hair growth.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a patient’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.
Some in the medical community think that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.
There has not been enough research to prove if PRP is an effective hair loss treatment.
Although there hasn’t been much scientific research done on PRP for hair loss, PRP therapy has been in use since the 1980s. It has been used for problems such as healing injured tendons, ligaments, and muscles.
What You Need To Know
1.PRP THERAPY PROCESS
PRP THERAPY IS A THREE-STEP PROCESS. MOST PRP THERAPY REQUIRES THREE TREATMENTS 4–6 WEEKS APART. MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED EVERY 4–6 MONTHS.
2.STEP 1
YOUR BLOOD IS DRAWN — TYPICALLY FROM YOUR ARM — AND PUT INTO A CENTRIFUGE — A MACHINE THAT SPINS RAPIDLY TO SEPARATE FLUIDS OF DIFFERENT DENSITIES.
3.STEP 2
AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES IN THE CENTRIFUGE, YOUR BLOOD WILL HAVE SEPARATED INTO IN THREE LAYERS: PLATELET-POOR PLASMA PLATELET-RICH PLASMA RED BLOOD CELLS
4.STEP 3
THE PLATELET-RICH PLASMA IS DRAWN UP INTO A SYRINGE AND THEN INJECTED INTO AREAS OF THE SCALP THAT NEED INCREASED HAIR GROWTH.THERE HASN’T BEEN ENOUGH RESEARCH TO PROVE WHETHER PRP IS EFFECTIVE. IT’S ALSO UNCLEAR FOR WHOM — AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES — IT’S MOST EFFECTIVE. ACCORDING TO A RECENT STUDY, “ALTHOUGH PRP HAS SUFFICIENT THEORETICAL SCIENTIFIC BASIS TO SUPPORT ITS USE IN HAIR RESTORATION, HAIR RESTORATION USING PRP IS STILL AT ITS INFANCY. CLINICAL EVIDENCE IS STILL WEAK.”
5.PRP FOR HAIR LOSS SIDE EFFECTS
BECAUSE PRP THERAPY INVOLVES INJECTING YOUR OWN BLOOD INTO YOUR SCALP, YOU AREN’T AT RISK FOR GETTING A COMMUNICABLE DISEASE. STILL, ANY THERAPY THAT INVOLVES INJECTIONS ALWAYS CARRIES A RISK OF SIDE EFFECTS SUCH AS: INJURY TO BLOOD VESSELS OR NERVES INFECTION CALCIFICATION AT THE INJECTION POINTS SCAR TISSUE THERE IS ALSO THE CHANCE THAT YOU COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE REACTION TO THE ANESTHETIC USED IN THE THERAPY. IF YOU DECIDE TO PURSUE PRP THERAPY FOR HAIR LOSS, LET YOUR DOCTOR KNOW IN ADVANCE ABOUT YOUR TOLERANCE TO ANESTHETICS.
