PRP (PLATELET-RICH PLASMA) TREATMENT

In recent years, PRP has gained much popularity for its various benefits to the skin and hair.
Platelets, when injected back into the skin, become activated, and in turn, stimulate collagen production.

Growth factors play a major role in healing and regeneration. As a result, PRP improves skin quality and helps in hair loss related problems. The doctor will first make a complete assessment of your condition before determining whether PRP is the ideal treatment for you. Lab tests may be required.

• Blood is drawn from the vein, like when you give blood for lab testing.
• This is then processed in a centrifuge.
• The clear plasma is removed out of the tube and then injected into the affected areas.
• Results may vary according to the patient’s physiology. Since the treatment involves using the patient’s own blood, it is extremely safe.
• Side-effects are minimal and temporary: Bruising, pain, swelling

WHEN IS PRP RECOMMENDED?

• Hair Loss, Post hair transplant
• Anti-ageing

A special mention must be made about PRP in hair loss. This treatment has been used widely for patients suffering from hair loss, either as a monotherapy or with other treatments. It is especially helpful in stress-related hair loss and post-hair transplant to nourish the newly rooted hairs.
