What happens during PRP?

When one hears of PRP, it might sound confusing. How can one make use of the growth factors from the blood to grow hair? The treatment is fairly simple. A small sample of blood is drawn from the patient. This is then placed in a centrifuge and spun at a high speed. The high-speed spinning continues till the stem cells or platelets are separated from the other components. Once separated these growth elements are injected back into the scalp with the help of a needle. Small amounts of plasma are left close to the follicles which helps to stimulate them. As a result, the hair quality is improved, and hair growth is accelerated.

Can it be paired with hair transplantation?

PRP is an excellent supplement for hair transplant procedures. When a follicle graft has been harvested, it is away from its natural blood supply, which can increase its chances of dying. Even after the graft has been planted, there is no certainty that it will survive and flourish. Pairing it up with PRP can improve its chances of survival. The growth factors help to stimulate hair growth.

Is the treatment painful?

The idea of needles being used on the scalp does sound quite painful. To ensure that the patient is comfortable, local anaesthesia is administered. However, some patients might experience pain and discomfort from the injections. It is considered to be a fairly comfortable treatment.

How many treatment sessions are required?

To make the best out of the PRP therapy, it is recommended to undergo 3 treatments with a gap of 1 month between each. The most effective combination would be to wait for 3 to 4 weeks before the second treatment. The same gap before the third treatment. With time, you will see thicker and healthier hair growth. To maintain the results, it is suggested that you undergo PRP every year.
