PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. It is a procedure that uses a person’s own blood to help stimulate hair growth. The procedure involves drawing blood from the patient, separating the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood, and then injecting the plasma into the scalp.

PRP Procedure to promote Hair growth

The platelets in the plasma contain growth factors, which are proteins that help to repair and regenerate tissues. When these growth factors are injected into the scalp, they can help to stimulate hair growth by promoting the growth of new hair follicles and increasing the thickness of existing hair follicles.

PRP therapy is a relatively new treatment for hair loss, but it has shown promising results in clinical trials. In one study, 81% of patients who received PRP therapy experienced a reduction in hair loss after six months.

The benefits of PRP therapy for hair include:

• Can help to prevent hair loss
• Can help to stimulate new hair growth
• Can increase the thickness of existing hair
• Is a relatively safe procedure

Uses a patient’s own blood, so there is no risk of rejection
The risks of PRP therapy for hair are relatively minor and include:

• Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site
• Infection (rare)
  
  PRP therapy is not a cure for hair loss, but it can be an effective way to prevent hair loss and stimulate new hair growth. If you are considering PRP therapy for hair loss, talk to your doctor to see if it is right for you.
