PRP Therapy – Hair Loss Treatment at Sakhiya Skin Clinic

PRP Therapy: Hair Loss Treatment

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is amongst the latest invention (in use since the 1980s).
And for hair loss treatment it is a relatively new approach which involves 3 steps medical treatment to promote hair growth. Just like the Dracula facial, which is a skin treatment using your blood to bring glow and youthful feel to your complexion; PRP requires drawing your blood too. This blood is then processed and injected back into the scalp. It has been clinically proven that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintains it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle. Additionally, it increases the thickness of the hair shaft.

PRP therapy is rapidly combining with other hair loss procedures/ medications as an effective hair loss treatment. Besides hair loss treatment PRP therapy is useful in healing injured tendons, ligaments and muscles.     s

How Does It Work?

PRP therapy for hair loss treatment is useful when the hair loss results from androgenetic alopecia. In this medical situation, hair follicles shrink causing baldness. While using PRP therapy, concentrated platelets are extracted and then injected back into the damaged area to accelerate hair re-growth.

A blood sample taken from the body is put into a machine called a centrifuge. This machine spins the sample at a rapid rate, separating its components. Thereafter, platelets are extracted for injection and are injected into the targeted areas of the scalp.

PRP contains numerous growth factors and proteins responsible for the rapid repair of tissues. Also, it increases the diameter of hair as well as the density of hair growth.

Leading Dermatologist across the World Comments on PRP Treatment 

Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai hospital in New York City is in full praise for this treatment method. He says that it is good news for anyone with thinning hair as PRP help stimulate the activity of hair follicle and promote new hair growth.

Neil Sadick who is also a leading dermatologist in New York City and director of Sadick research group for understanding and treating hair loss comments that it is a great treatment option for hair loss being efficient in increasing hair count, hair thickness and growth phase of the hair cycle.

Risk Intervention

Although various myths surround PRP therapy, for most parts, it is risk-free treatment. Most patients get injections without any numbing. The discomfort in the process is minimal which can be eased through air or ice packs. In case of more discomfort Tylenol is recommended after the procedure. The bruises that occurred on the scalp usually get resolved within a week or two.

The minimal downtime in case needed is restricted to a day or two. Experts recommend warm water shower after the treatment as the hot temperature enhances blood flow and circulation throughout the scalp. Hair maintenance procedures like colouring, processing, blow drawing can be put away for a day or two.

Like other treatments, consistency is the key here too. The procedure has to be carried out once a month for the first three to four months. Thereafter, it needs to be carried out every 3 to 6 months. The frequency depends on individual patients’ responses and results. Usually, the results are visible within two to three months.
