PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Therapy for Hair Loss Treatment

Here’s Why PRP Therapy Is The Way To The Future!

Recent years have brought forth a range of new treatments and therapies for people who are having hair trouble. While a hair transplant is a good choice for people who have large bald spots, there are those who are not ready for such an invasive procedure and wish to look at other avenues first. PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy is one such method that is fast gaining a lot of popularity with people with hair loss.

What is PRP?

Platelet rich plasma or PRP is present in human blood. Platelets are the clotting cells of our blood having potential of faster healing. Platelets release growth factors in the blood which augments the healing process. PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical and therapeutic option for people suffering from hair loss. As a matter of fact, this is the best option for people who are looking at a method of restoring hair, at a point when the loss has just started setting in. if the hair loss is extreme, then hair transplant might be the only option, but for those who have just started noticing baldness or thinning of hair, this might be a great option.

How PRP works?

Blood Sampling

Blood Sampling

Blood is collected from the body using syringe before the treatment. Blood sample is collected approximately 30 minutes before the PRP therapy. Around 40-60cc of blood is drawn from the body using sterilized needles and is transferred into the vials.

Blood is then spun in the centrifuge for few minutes and blood components are separated. After centrifugation, sample is kept in specialized refrigerator ensuring that there will be no risk of contamination in the sample.

“Raj Jaswal”

I started facing hair loss at the age of 26 but it was not very noticeable. But at 29 the hair loss progressed very quickly and crown almost became empty. And further my hair line receded quickly. Now at the age of 31 I started looking very old. I tried many medicines like homeopathic etc etc but nothing seems to work. Then I started searching for my options and finally decided for a hair transplant.
