What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) HAir Regeneration?

How it works

PRP Hair Regeneration is a non-surgical treatment in aesthetic medicine and dermatology designed to counteract hair thinning and loss. This innovative procedure involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and then reintroducing it to the scalp through microinjections. PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving scalp health.

Notably non-invasive, PRP is favored for its minimal recovery time compared to surgical options. Widely used by dermatologists and aesthetic practitioners, it is often combined with other therapies for personalized treatment plans. In essence, PRP Hair Regeneration represents a cutting-edge, minimally invasive solution for those seeking to enhance their hair’s thickness and overall health.

PRP Hair Regeneration taps into the regenerative properties of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a component found in the patient’s own blood. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

Blood Collection: A small amount of the patient’s blood is drawn,typically from the arm.

Plasma Separation: The blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from other blood components.

Activation: The isolated PRP is activated to release growth factors that encourage hair follicle rejuvenation.

Injection: The activated PRP is then carefully injected into the areas of the scalp where hair loss or thinning is a concern.
