Plasma Therapy (PRP) for Scalp
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy for the scalp is an innovative method for treating hair loss and stimulating hair growth. The procedure uses platelet-rich plasma extracted from the patient’s own blood to activate regenerative processes in the scalp and hair follicles.
How does the procedure work?
-
Blood extraction – A small amount of blood (usually 10-20 ml) is drawn from the patient.
-
Centrifugation – The blood is processed in a special centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components.
-
Injection into the scalp – The extracted PRP is injected with fine needles into areas affected by hair loss.
The procedure usually lasts 30-60 minutes, and the patient can return to daily activities immediately after.
Who is it suitable for?
-
People with androgenic alopecia (hereditary hair loss)
-
Men and women with thinning hair
-
Those experiencing diffuse hair loss due to stress, hormonal imbalance, or illness
-
Patients looking to enhance the effects of a hair transplant
What are the benefits of PRP therapy?
- Stimulates new hair growth
- Strengthens existing hair follicles
- Slows down hair loss
- Improves blood circulation in the scalp
- Natural and safe procedure – no chemicals or medications involved
Are there any side effects?
PRP therapy is safe with minimal risk since it uses the patient’s own blood.
Possible mild side effects include redness, swelling, or scalp sensitivity, which subside within 1-2 days.
How many sessions are needed?
A typical recommendation is 3-6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-6 months.
