Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Growth

 Platelet Rich Plasma for Hair Growth

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair growth is a minimally invasive procedure. The procedure uses the  patient’s own blood to stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth. PRP, derived from a patient’s blood, contains a higher concentration of platelets and plasma. It delivers elevated levels of growth factors.

The good

Experts recommend Platelet-rich plasma for the biological enhancement of tissue repair and regeneration. This is by locally introducing higher numbers of platelets and their associated bioactive molecules. The concentrated platelets contain elevated quantities of autologous growth factors and secretory proteins. These components aid in the healing process, particularly in degenerative areas like the scalp in androgenetic alopecia.
As part of the wound healing process, activated platelets release various growth factors. When injected into the scalp, PRP’s platelets activate and release growth factors that encourage hair growth. These factors stimulate fibroblast activation, collagen formation, and more, ultimately promoting hair follicle cell proliferation and growth.

In the hair growth cycle, PRP has been found to induce and prolong the anagen phase. Platelets also include thick granules containing bioactive substances that help to modulate inflammation in the area administered

Administration

The affected areas of the scalp receive subcutaneous or intradermal PRP injections. After analyzing the hair and scalp and determining the best cause of treatment. The specialist calculates the appropriate number of treatments and time between them.
