Hair PRP
PRP stands for “Platelet Rich Plasma”, meaning platelet rich plasma. Platelets are cells that enable blood clotting and accelerate tissue healing. In PRP treatment, the person’s own blood is taken and made rich in platelets through a special process and this plasma is injected into the hair follicles.
How Does Hair PRP Treatment Work?
In hair PRP treatment, the growth factors contained in platelets, when injected into the hair follicles, provide cell renewal and stimulation of hair follicles. In addition to stopping hair loss, this procedure strengthens weakened hair follicles and promotes new hair growth.
Treatment Process and Number of Sessions
In order for PRP treatment to give effective results, it is generally recommended to have 3-4 sessions 3-4 weeks apart. After these sessions, maintenance sessions 1-2 times a year can help maintain the results. Although the effects of the treatment vary from person to person, visible results usually appear after the 3rd session.
How Permanent are the Results of PRP Treatment?
The effects of hair PRP treatment can last for a long time, depending on aftercare. Since it strengthens the hair follicles and slows down hair loss, the results obtained after treatment can last for several years. Regular support sessions can extend this period.
Is PRP treatment painful?
There may be minimal discomfort during PRP treatment. There may be a slight feeling of pressure when injected with fine needles applied to the scalp, but it is a painless procedure for most patients. Anesthetic cream can be used if necessary.
When do treatment results start to appear?
Treatment results usually start to appear after 2-3 sessions. Effects such as reduction in hair loss and improvement in hair quality become more evident within a few months.
