Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment that uses your body’s natural healing ability to rejuvenate your cells. This treatment can be used for several different reasons, including joint health. When it comes to PRP for hair, does it really work? Here’s the scoop on this revolutionary treatment creating all the buzz right now!
What Is PRP?
PRP is a serum that is made from concentrated plasma extracted from your blood. This serum is injected into the patient in an attempt to heal the targeted area for healthier cells.
What Does PRP For Hair Do?
When it comes to your scalp, PRP is used to stimulate hair follicles so you grow more hair. This treatment works best if you are in the process of losing your hair but are not yet entirely bald.
Does It Really Work?
Based on several studies, PRP can be a very effective treatment for hair loss. In many cases, it works better than other hair loss treatments. PRP has been shown to improve hair thickness, growth, and strength.
There are some types of hair loss that can be corrected by this treatment more effectively than others. For instance, it works well for those with alopecia. Your own level of blood platelets can also impact the results. Patients with a higher level of blood platelets usually experience more successful results.
To see results, you will need to go through a full round of treatments. It is also a good idea to have maintenance injections to keep your new hair growing.
