PRP TO HAIR LOSS
What is PRP?
PRP is used to promote a more rapid healing of wounds and more rapid hair growth after a hair transplant. Treatment with PRP is intended to help the weak hair follicles, which tend to precipitate, to revitalize. It was observed that the hair in the treated area is less thin in patients treated with PRP and the hair shafts be thicker.
By patients who had a PRP treatment after their hair transplant surgery, the healing process is faster. The red spots and scabs appearing after the procedure go faster away, hair growth and the capacity of the transplanted hair follicles is higher.
PRP is the patient’s plasma with an increased percentage of thrombocytes. PRP is basically like having your own blood before the operation. As the patient’s blood is used, no immune responses were observed. PRP does not cause allergic reactions.
