Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is a non-surgical hair growth procedure that uses the patient's own blood to stimulate hair growth. The procedure involves taking a small sample of the patient's blood, which is then processed to separate the platelets from the red blood cells. The platelets are then re-injected into the scalp. The platelets contain growth factors that promote hair growth and improve the overall health of the hair.
The procedure is performed in the office, it takes around an hour and it's done under local anesthesia. The patient can expect to return to normal activities immediately after the procedure. The treatment requires multiple sessions (usually 3-4) spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
PRP treatment is effective for both men and women who are experiencing hair loss or thinning. It can help to increase hair density and improve the overall health of the hair. It may be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other hair restoration treatments such as NeoGraft hair transplantation.
