latelet-rich plasma therapy or (PRP) is gaining popularity as an advanced method for treating patterned hair loss, hair thinning or receding hairline and delivering effective natural hair regrowth results. In this article, we will help you understand more about this procedure, along with its cost and expected results.
PRP Hair Treatment Procedure
The PRP hair treatment is a four-step process as explained below –
- Collection Of Blood Sample:
As the first step of the PRP hair loss treatment process, your doctor will take a 20 ml blood sample.
- Separation Of Platelets:
Dermatologists use the centrifuge technique for the separation of platelets from the blood. The double spin method ensures the optimal concentration of platelets that are rich in growth factors.
- Extraction and Activation Of PRP From The Blood:
Doctors extract Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) from the remaining layers of Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP), and red blood cells in the tube. Before injecting the PRP into a patient’s scalp, trichologists activate the growth factors in the plasma using an activating agent.
- Insertion Of PRP Into Affected Area With Injections:
In the last step, dermatologists inject the PRP extracted from the blood safely into the affected area on the scalp with the use of microneedles. Before inserting the platelet-rich plasma, your dermatologist will administer local anaesthesia into the scalp margin, so that you don’t feel any pain.
