What is PRP Treatment




Healthy hair is a luxury today, and many people of all ages and genders suffer from hair-related problems like hair fall and hair loss. Hair re-growth treatment is an extremely safe and effective method to treat these issues.







Studies on platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and its use in treating hair loss are relatively new to dermatology. Clinical studies suggest PRP therapy is effective with various growth factors, but many dermatologists are only now beginning to incorporate it into their practices. Because of this, there's limited information about PRP treatment unless you conduct thorough research.
 Luckily, we have the answers you need. 
What is PRP?
PRP stands for "platelet-rich plasma." Plasma, a component of blood, contains platelets that play a crucial role in blood clotting, vascular injury repair, and soft tissue healing. Inside these platelets are growth factors that serve regenerative purposes, including new cell production.



PRP is typically used in orthopedics for soft tissue injuries and has been proven effective in healing joints and tendons. Dr. Subhash shows that PRP can also help regenerate hair growth.
 How does PRP for hair loss work?
PRP is a cutting-edge hair loss therapy using growth factors from your blood's plasma to rejuvenate hair growth on your scalp. The process is as follows:
1. Your cosmetic dermatologist takes a vial of blood.
2. A centrifuge separates the plasma, ensuring a consistent platelet concentration.
3. The platelet-rich plasma is injected into various parts of your scalp to stimulate hair growth.
What is the treatment process like?
PRP injections involve three steps:
1. Blood is drawn, usually from your arm.
2. The blood is placed in a centrifuge to separate it into plasma rich in platelets, platelet-poor plasma, and red blood cells. The PRP is used, and the rest is discarded.
3. The PRP is injected into your scalp with a syringe after applying a local anesthetic.
Who Can Benefit from PRP Injections?
PRP injections can benefit a wide range of people, including:
- Both men and women. Women can also suffer from hair loss due to various factors.
- Those with androgenic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness) or other forms of alopecia.
- A wide age range, with successful trials in people aged 18 to 72.
- Those experiencing hair loss due to high-stress levels, as this condition can be treated easily.
- Those who have recently experienced hair loss, as early intervention improves the chances of success.
- Those with thinning or balding hair but not completely bald individuals. PRP injections are meant to thicken and grow hair from functioning follicles.
Dos and Don’ts for PRP Injections
Pre-Procedure Dos
- Shampoo and condition your hair before the procedure to ensure a clean, sterile environment.
- Eat a healthy breakfast and drink at least 16 ounces of water to avoid dizziness, fainting, or nausea.
Post-Procedure Dos
- Resume your normal activities, as PRP injections shouldn't incapacitate you.
- Wash your hair on your normal schedule unless the injection site is irritated or painful.

Pre-Procedure Don’ts
Avoid using hair products like hairspray or gel for at least three days before your PRP injections.
- Don't smoke or drink heavily beforehand, as this could lower your platelet count and disqualify you from the procedure.
 Post-Procedure Don’ts
 Don't color your hair or get a perm for at least 72 hours after PRP injections, as harsh chemicals can irritate the injection site and cause complications.

The Recovery Period after PRP Injections
The recovery period for PRP injections typically involves side effects and scalp pain that subside after three to four weeks, with full recovery within three to six months.
