PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp. First, PRP is extracted from your own blood, which is full of growth factors and essential proteins. Next, this nonsurgical treatment uses your own platelets and applies them to the areas of your scalp with thinning hair to stimulate the follicles and regrow your hair. As a result, patients often experience improved hair density and regrowth over time.
Platelets are responsible for healing wounds and regenerating weak skin cells. Specifically, PRP provides a potent dose of pure platelet treatment by isolating platelets from the blood. This process is achieved by extracting a small amount of the patient’s blood and placing it in a centrifuge, where the platelets are separated and collected. Subsequently, the platelet-rich plasma is reintroduced to the skin, serving as a natural superfood to allow for healthier skin regrowth. In addition, this approach enhances the scalp’s overall health and supports long-term hair restoration.
