prpmedTreatment of hair loss with PRP therapy
Hair starts to shed for a variety of reasons. If we lose about 100-150 hairs a day - this is normal, but if more - this is already a problem that needs to be addressed.
About 70% of men in developed countries suffer from hair loss, 40% of them gradually bald. About 40% of women complain of diffuse hair loss. Hair loss is caused by heredity and the onset of aging processes. Hair begins to weaken at the age of 30-40 years.
📌 Hair growth cycle
Hair grows cyclically. There are 3 phases of hair growth:
✍🏻Growth or anagen (lasts 2-6 years);
✍🏻Transient or catagen (lasts 2 weeks);
✍🏻Rest or telogen (lasts 2-6 months).
Each hair grows during its cycle, regardless of the surrounding hair cycle.
📌 PRP - Platelet Enriched Plasma
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is plasma with a much higher platelet count than normal blood levels.
Growth factors relax from platelets and other tissue cells. These are signaling substances that activate the division of hair follicle cells.
Growth factor interactions, like stem cell interactions, are important for normal hair growth.
Significant results have been achieved in the treatment of hair loss with PRP therapy, as hair loss is usually a reversible phenomenon and the results persist for a long time.
📌How can PRP help with hair loss?
into the hairy scalp. It is very important to understand that not all PRPs are the same, there are many ways to prepare PRPs, so using different PRPs will result in different results.
Comparing different PRPs is also difficult because human platelet counts can fluctuate significantly even during the same day.
📌Is PRP safe for treating hair loss?
PRP is autologous - that is, it is obtained only from the blood of the same individual for whom it is used, and is therefore completely safe. As with any intervention, PRP therapy is associated with certain risks, such as bruising or bruising, but this occurs very rarely. PRP has been used successfully for many years not only in aesthetic dermatology, but also in orthopedics (for the treatment of scar burns, joint pain) and dentistry.
📌 Who is the PRP procedure best recommended for?
The PRP procedure is suitable for men and women who suffer from hair loss, both in the early and advanced stages:
✍🏻Androgenic alopecia (develops due to genetic and hormonal factors and is the most common cause of alopecia)
✍🏻As an adjunct therapy after hair transplantation
✍🏻For the prevention of hair loss
📌How does a natural hair loss treatment PRP therapy work and how long does it take?
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is taken from a vein. Blood is specially prepared and platelet concentrate PRP is extracted from it with prp tubes. Its platelet count is up to 4-5 times higher than its normal platelet count. Approximately 50-80 minutes elapse between blood collection and the last injection.
📌Is the PRP procedure suitable for everyone?
The procedure is not suitable for people who have an active infection, diabetes, blood clotting problems, or people who are taking blood-thinning or immunosuppressive drugs. Also, the success of the PRP procedure is minimal if there are no hair follicles left at all.
📌How will I feel after the procedure?
After the procedure, the skin may become slightly sensitive, so it is recommended to use cooling ice compresses to relieve pain, redness or swelling. Patients may also experience minor bruising, bruising.
📌How often is this procedure recommended?
In each case, the PRP procedure and its frequency are selected individually, but it is usually recommended to perform one procedure for 3 consecutive months.
📌Will I see the results of the procedure right away?
Hair will begin to grow and become visible 3-4 months after the first PRP procedure as platelets release growth factors that are involved in the hair growth cycle. However, the effect of the procedure will only increase over time.
