The Science of PRP - Unlocking Its Benefits and Future Potential:
PRP – Platelet-rich plasma therapy is a completely natural, minimally invasive procedure that encourages excellent hair growth by using your own blood. PRP is a branch of regenerative Medical Science and is used extensively and successfully in the field of Medicine. PRP pledges to decrease hair loss dramatically and increase hair thickness and volume substantially.
Understanding the Basics of PRP Therapy:
What is PRP?
How does PRP Therapy Work?
- Firstly, your blood is collected, and drawn from your arm.
- The blood is spun in a centrifuge, and it is separated into the components.
- Platelets are collected and the platelet-packed plasma is introduced into your scalp specifically at those sites where there is significant hair thinning and hair loss.
- The PRP is introduced into your scalp at precisely half-inch intervals.
- PRP boosts the supply of blood to the hair follicle and helps activate your hair growth, making your hair thick, strong and healthy.
- PRP is so popular and well-loved because it increases the hair count, promotes hair thickness, peps up hair volume and lengthens your hair cycle’s growth stage.
Follow-up Sessions of PRP Treatment:
Precautions and Aftercare Following PRP Treatment:
- There will be some degree of pain, bruising and inflammation in the scalp, which may last for about 5 days. Consult your doctor and take the necessary medications.
- If the pain does not subside, the infection may have set in; antibiotics may be required. Conferring with the doctor is vital.
- Stay away from vigorous exercise, direct sunlight and heat exposure for a week after the treatment.
- Use shampoo and conditioner as prescribed by your trichologist.
- No hair products should be used for 2 days after the procedure.
- Avoid swimming for a week after the procedure.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking for a week after the treatment.
- Keep your water intake good.
The Science Behind PRP:
Role of Platelets in PRP:
The Benefits and Effectiveness of PRP Therapy:
- PRP helps conserve your existing hair, in cases of Androgenetic Alopecia and Androgenic Alopecia.
- It puts a stopper to hair thinning and accelerates hair regeneration.
- Increases the thickness and volume of your hair, giving you a full head of hair.
- As a consequence, your self-confidence and self-esteem get tremendously boosted.
Limitations of PRP Therapy:
- If you have a chronic disorder, PRP won’t yield results. The chronic disease – diabetes mellitus, hypertension or any other medical condition needs to be treated first. PRP will not fix the underlying problem. Hair loss will continue despite having the PRP therapy. When PRP is done in conjunction with treating the disorder, that’s when you will see results.
- When there’s a hormone imbalance or when you have drastic oscillations in your hormone profile, such as a thyroid abnormality or PCOS, medicines are necessary to bring the hormone profile in order; thereafter PRP will tackle the hair loss issue.
- There are times when PRP won’t work when hair loss is because of other reasons apart from male or female pattern balding. Hair loss because of undue stress or scarring alopecia can not be handled well by PRP.
The Risks and Side Effects Associated with PRP:
- You will experience a little pain and discomfort at the site of the injection.
- There may be minimal bleeding or redness at the injection site.
- Some people complain of slight soreness.
- A very small percentage of patients have complained of mild headaches, feelings of tightness, swelling and oozing.

FAQs:
Heavy smokers, those on blood thinners, or those who have a medical condition like liver disease, diabetes mellitus, cancer, chronic infections, or low platelet count, are poor candidates. Your doctor will decide what’s best for you based on your medical profile and history.
1 PRP session will take about 1 hour to complete.
PRP works well for those who have mild to moderate hair loss. PRP encourages natural hair growth, and the therapy will work only if you have active or dormant hair follicles. Those who are completely bald have inactive hair follicles, or severely damaged hair follicles or hair follicles which don’t exist; in these cases, PRP won’t yield any results.
Needles used for PRP are very fine. The injections do not hurt; however, some do experience a little bit of discomfort and pain in some parts of the scalp.
Most people can start to notice hair regrowth within three months. It can take up to 12 months for you to notice a significant difference in the overall thickness and quality of your hair.
