Hair and Skin Treatment with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)?
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is plasma enriched with platelets derived from a person's own blood. This plasma contains platelets that release growth factors and trigger the body's repair mechanisms. PRP is widely used in dermatology for hair loss, skin rejuvenation, and anti-aging purposes.
PRP for Hair Treatment
PRP treatment for hair is effective in reducing hair loss and improving hair quality. The procedure includes:
- Blood Draw: A specific amount of blood is drawn from the patient.
- Centrifuge Process: The blood is centrifuged in a special device to obtain platelet-rich plasma.
- Application: The PRP is injected into the scalp using micro-injection techniques.
Benefits:
- Reduces and halts hair loss.
- Promotes new hair growth.
- Thickens and strengthens hair strands.
- Improves overall scalp health.
PRP for Skin Treatment
