PRP application has become the most popular method in the treatment of both genetic and seasonal hair loss. In PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment; Your own blood, enriched in clotting (platelet) cells, is given back to the scalp by injection.
The clotting cells circulating in the blood are the source of many molecules and growth factors involved in wound healing. These factors are also used in hair treatment with PRP application.
In this application, approximately 10 ml of blood is taken from the person with hair loss into a specially prepared PRP tube. By allowing this tube to rotate rapidly in the centrifuge, platelet cells in the blood are separated from other elements of the blood. Thus, while there are 200-400 thousand platelet cells per milliliter in our blood in normal circulation, there are 1-1.5 million platelets in condensed plasma. Prepared PRP in liquid form is given to the scalp as point injections with very thin special needle tips.
Thanks to the growth factors released from the cells with PRP given to the tissue, tissue healing begins, capillary formation is triggered, and the rejuvenation process begins. The nutrition of hair follicles improves. By stimulating weak hair follicles, PRP strengthens thin and indistinct hair, and makes all hair thicker and look bright and vibrant. PRP is very effective on hair follicles. In almost every patient, shedding decreases significantly even in the first 2 weeks, existing hair strands thicken, and new hair growth becomes visible in the second month. The seemingly empty areas on the scalp begin to fill. Good results are obtained in both male and female patients.
