PRP Hair Treatment
PRP hair treatment , also called platelet mesotherapy, is a treatment used to combat hair loss in men and women. Performed alone, or in addition to a hair transplant, this treatment uses the growth factors contained in Platelet Rich Plasma to stimulate hair regrowth and restore thick hair.
PRP technique: what is it?
PRP, known as “Platelet Rich Plasma” is a non-invasive treatment, based on the infiltration of blood platelets inside the hair. A true concentrate of growth factors, PRP is proposed to stimulate hair regrowth. Platelets are one of the essential components of blood. Essential for the proper functioning of the human body, they are born in the bone marrow and circulate in the blood.
For whom?
PRP treatment is recommended for mild to moderate hair loss. Hair PRP sessions can also be recommended in the event of significant baldness in certain cases. However, the most adequate solution remains hair transplantation. Injection of PRP into the scalp can be recommended before and after a hair transplant. It promotes the survival and proper development of grafts on the treated area by stimulating the cells of the hair follicle.
What are the steps of a PRP treatment for hair?
The procedure is simple and fast :
- Platelet Rich Plasma comes directly from the patient’s body from a blood test.
- The sample is then centrifuged to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components.
- The PRP is then injected in several places directly into the scalp. The injection of PRP into the scalp is performed under local anesthesia. It is therefore completely painless.
What are the contraindications to PRP for hair?
The PRP treatment session may be contraindicated in some cases. Indeed, this hair loss treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people suffering from an autoimmune disease, people suffering from diabetes, or even people with a skin disease or skin inflammation. Also, if you are under anticoagulant or antiaggregating treatment, under treatment impairing healing, or if you have cancer, the injection of Platelet Rich Plasma is contraindicated.
What are the results of a PRP treatment?
PRP treatment offers good results. Injecting PRP to treat/reverse hair loss can help you deal with mild to moderate alopecia and thinning or partially receding hair. The treatment may also show good results in stimulating hair regrowth after pregnancy.
To achieve an optimal result, PRP for hair should be performed in several sessions. Generally count 5 sessions spaced 5 weeks apart to observe lasting and optimal results. Also, an annual maintenance is recommended to preserve the effects of the Platelet Rich Plasma injection.
Tips for A Successful PRP Injection
Before : Avoid taking medications that promote bleeding the week before the injection of hyaluronic acid, and on the contrary prefer treatments that reduce the consequences a few days before the injection.
During : PRP treatment can be uncomfortable or even painful, which is why local anesthesia may be offered.
After: The sequences are simple:
- After the injections, you may have some slight redness or small bruises.
- A small edema may also appear after the injections which will disappear after a few days.
