PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
Are you losing your hair? If so, you may be considering PRP therapy. PRP therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own blood to stimulate hair growth.
What is PRP therapy?
PRP therapy stands for platelet-rich plasma therapy.
Platelets are a type of blood cell that helps with clotting. They also
contain growth factors, which are proteins that help cells to grow and
repair themselves.
During PRP therapy, a small amount of blood is drawn from your arm.
The blood is then processed to separate the platelets. The platelets
are then injected into the scalp, where they release growth factors that
can help to repair damaged hair follicles and promote new hair growth.
How does PRP therapy work?
The growth factors released by the platelets in PRP therapy can help to:
- Stimulate the growth of new hair follicles
- Repair damaged hair follicles
- Increase the thickness of existing hair
