Hair PRP is an effective way to treat baldness, help thicken hair and maintain the results of hair transplantation.

You can use PRP to treat your hair loss.

PRP or platelet-rich plasma is a natural treatment.

In this method, growth factors and stem cells of a person's body are used to accelerate the process of hair growth.

Hair PRP is also the best opportunity for you to grow your hair again.

PRP is a modern method, without the need for surgery and completely natural.

How to do PRP (Hair PRP)

PRP uses the blood of the client.

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma.

Plasma is a substance that is thought to inject it to improve the growth and healing of body tissues.

Plasma is a component of blood. It also contains factors and proteins that help blood clot.

Proteins in plasma accelerate cell growth.

To produce PRP, researchers separate plasma from the blood and then concentrate it.

They believe that injecting PRP into damaged tissues causes the tissues to produce new cells.

Eventually, damaged tissues heal better and faster.

PRP and hair restoration

In this method, the person's blood is first taken. Then, stem cells and growth factors are extracted from it by a centrifuge. Finally, it is injected into the desired area of ​​the person's scalp.

It is worth mentioning that during this operation, your scalp is covered with a kind of anesthetic cream.

The use of this anesthetic cream minimizes the pain and discomfort caused by the injection.

After this operation, your scalp is slightly inflamed.

Of course, this is normal and will be resolved within the next 24 hours.

Hair PRP duration

The PRP injection must be repeated about 5 times every 3 to 4 weeks. Sometimes you may even need another course of treatment about 8 to 9 months later.

How many sessions of hair PRP treatment are needed?

Successful hair PRP guidelines state that this procedure should be performed in the initial period for 3 months and includes several sessions depending on the individual's personal needs.

Then PRP injection should be repeated every 3 to 6 months to maintain and strengthen the results of the operation.

PRP results

The results of this action will not be permanent. Because the injected solution keeps the hair only in the growth phase.

Therefore, additional treatment sessions should be performed to maintain the results of PRP surgery.

This prevents the hair from returning to its original state.

You can maintain the results by holding additional sessions every 3 to 6 months.

Will the results of hair PRP be visible immediately after its end?

No, note that PRP is not an instant miracle. The results will take some time. Of course, the time required to achieve the result requires a sufficient number of treatment sessions in this operation.

The effects of PRP on increasing hair growth will begin to appear 3 to 4 months after the procedure.

The maximum thickness and density of hair will be after this period.

The compounds in PRP take a relatively long time to fully affect the growth of hair follicles.

This process will take place in the coming months and after the end of the full course of treatment.

In fact, you should wait at least 8 months to see the most hair growth results.

PRP treatable areas

PRP can be used for hair loss on eyebrows, scalp or beard and mustache.

How to do PRP for strengthen hair

Step 1: First, the doctor draw 35 to 40 cc of blood from the patient`s arm.

Step 2: The received blood is poured into several kits (tubes) for PRP. The tubes are placed in a device called Centrifuge.

Step 3: The blood drawn must be rotated in two 10-minute steps. This separates the blood components.

Concentrated platelets are also separated from other components of the blood.

This prepares the PRP, which contains stem cell growth factors, for the scalp.

Step 4: Platelet-rich plasma is injected by a fine needle with length 3 to 4 mm.

The doctor should do this in different parts of the treated area.

It should also inject a small amount of the substance into the skin at each injection.

Comparison of mesotherapy and PRP

As you know, in addition to hair transplantation, methods such as mesotherapy or PRP are used to treat hair loss or baldness.

Each of these methods has its drawbacks and disadvantages that make none of them a 100% safe method to treat hair loss alone.

These techniques are mainly to strengthen the areas suffering from hair loss and strengthen the hair follicles.

Both methods are suitable for those who suffer from thinning hair and hair loss, not those who suffer from baldness or severe hair loss.

Both methods are performed in a few sessions, but each session of mesotherapy, which is half an hour, is less than hair PRP, which usually lasts 1 hour.

In some cases, these two methods can be used together to achieve lasting results and better together.

Usually, there is no possibility of infection or skin disorders in these two methods.

Both methods help the body's metabolism and blood circulation, especially mesotherapy.

It should be noted that more customers go to mesotherapy because it is cheaper and takes less time.

Both procedures should be performed by a experienced physician.

Neither of these two treatments is completely definitive for hair loss, and sometimes it is necessary to use other methods for treatment.

There is not much pain and bleeding in either method.

These two methods are not suitable for people with baldness and usually do not work.
