PRP Hair Treatment

Through Platelet-Rich Plasma / PRP treatment, hair is enriched by thrombocytes in the patient’s own plasma. After a sample of blood has been drawn, the plasma is separated from the blood using a centrifugation process.

The plasma is rich with growth factors from the patient’s own body, so by injecting it back into the same person’s scalp, it boosts the growth and strength of hair follicles in the area. PRP is a treatment that has been long utilized across the world, and is also a common treatment for wound and soft tissue healing.

What Is PRP Hair Treatment Used For?

PRP is a treatment that is applied for thinning hair, especially as a result of androgenetic alopecia, mostly known as male pattern hair loss. PRP helps to prevent hair loss and to strengthen weak hair. PRP may also be applied after hair transplantation performed at Dr.Serkan Aygın Clinic to enhance the hair transplantation results.

PRP treatment is preferred by many patients as it helps the post-operative healing process as well as positively affects hair growth and hair thickness after hair transplant operations.

How Is PRP Application Performed?

The PRP process begins by collecting blood from the patient. This sample is then spun in a centrifuge, in order to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the other components of whole blood. The concentrated plasma of blood includes platelets, leukocytes, growth factors, and cytokines, all of which enrich and promote hair growth. The plasma is injected into the scalp of the patient. The whole process, from blood sample to injection, takes around 45 minutes. (Most of which is spent waiting for the centrifuge to separate the plasma from the blood.)
