Explain PRP Hair Restoration And Its Effectiveness

by Andrew Martin Health Consultant

Similar to other medical procedures, hair transplants are constantly evolving. There are numerous developments underway that aim to improve the results of hair transplants.

A minimally invasive surgical procedure called a hair transplant involves moving hair follicles from the donor area to the bald area of the recipient. The availability of hair density at the DHT resistant areas is used to determine the donor area. The back and sides of the head, as well as body hairs, are the most typical donor sites. Hair follicle regeneration at the recipient bald site is not a goal of hair transplant surgery; it is purely a restorative procedure. It is the only procedure that provides results that are both permanent and natural-looking.

What is the biostimulated or PRP hair transplantation process?

The PRP injection therapy is added to the standard procedure in the bio stimulated hair transplant to promote the growth of the implanted hair follicles.

The following are the steps in a PRP hair restoration:

1. Local anesthesia is administered at both the donor and recipient sites.

2. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area based on hair density.

3. Slitting procedure for recipient site preparation.

4. Hair follicles are transplanted at the recipient site into the ready-made slits.

5. Injections of PRP therapy, a component of the bio stimulated procedure

6. Instructions following a hair transplant

7. Follow-up and additional PRP injection therapy appointments

What is platelet-rich plasma, or PRP?

Blood cells called platelets are essential for the blood clotting process and the healing of any wounds or incisions.

The first generation platelet concentrate, or platelet rich plasma (PRP), is made from your own blood. Your own blood is processed and used where it is most useful to promote growth and natural healing. PRP contains a high concentration of growth factors, which create a favourable environment for cell growth wherever it is desired. PRP was first utilized in the 1980s and is currently used practically everywhere due to its many advantages, but it is mostly used to speed up the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints.

Procedure for PRPtherapy

After injecting your own blood, PRP is prepared. The technique entails three steps of preparation, which are as follows:

First, 30–40 cc of blood are drawn from the patient's arm and spun for 10 minutes in a centrifuge. By rapidly rotating at a high speed of 3000 rotations per minute, centrifugation separates the components by separating the molecules of different densities.

Step 2: After centrifugation, the test tube contains three stratified, separated blood components:

a)      Top most layer: platelet poor plasma

b)      Middle layer: platelet rich plasma

c)      Last layer: red blood cells

In the third step, platelet-rich plasma is gathered in a syringe and injected directly into the hair follicles. The lengthy method involves administering injections around every half inch over the area of thinning hair for the treatment of hair loss or around the freshly transplanted hair follicles after hair transplant. 

How appointments for PRP therapy are scheduled?

Three injection appointments spread over a period of 4-6 weeks make up PRP injection therapy. After then, the maintenance phase, which is supposed to happen once every 4-6 months, starts.

PRP therapy Cost:

When compared to other developed countries, PRP therapy is a very economical way to treat hair loss in India. In industrialized countries, the price ranges from $500 to $4000 depending on the clinics, in contrast to Delhi where it ranges from 10,000 to 12,000 INR. Due to the high quality and low cost of PRP therapy, many international citizens travel to India to take advantage of the process.

For the best PRP therapy results, the Medipsa centre for hair transplant in Delhi and Jaipur is renowned worldwide. We provide top-notch medical care at a reasonable price. Based on his expertise and talent, Dr. Suneet Soni, the inventor of "Medispa," established the combination procedure of hair transplantation with PRP bio-stimulation in Delhi and Jaipur. Since then, he has treated several patients with PRP therapy, resulting in noticeable growth that was facilitated.
