PRP Therapy for Hair Loss Treatment
PRP Therapy for Hair Loss Treatment
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment at Ishaa Skin & Hair Clinic in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.
Some in the medical community think that PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and increasing the thickness of the hair shaft. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.
There hasn’t been enough research to prove if PRP is an effective hair loss treatment. However,
Platelets are a component of blood, along with red and white blood cells. When a person sustains a cut or wound, the platelets are some of the body’s “first responders” that arrive to stop the bleeding and promote healing.
PRP contains a range of growth factors and proteins that speed tissue repair. As some types of hair loss result from damage to hair follicles, researchers initially hypothesized that PRP could help regrow hair by reversing the process that occurs in androgenetic alopecia.
Plasma is the liquid part of your blood that’s mostly made of water and protein. It lets red and white blood cells and platelets move through your bloodstream. Platelets are a type of blood cell that makes your blood clot. They also play a role in healing.
Who Can Receive Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy?
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is for people who are in good health and do not have any serious skin conditions. Those suffering from aging, crepey skin will see the best results from platelet-rich plasma therapy.
Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma
Stimulate Collagen Production
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it defends your skin from free radicals that can harm your skin. With regular use, vitamin C can help heal blemishes, reduce hyperpigmentation, and keep your skin from sagging. To maintain a bright, even-toned, refreshed look, Dr. Deeplai Marthineni recommends adding vitamin C to your skincare routine.
Plump Sagging Skin
Plasma-rich therapy treatment can dramatically reverse years of skin damage in one session. By penetrating deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen production and connective tissue regeneration, skin will tighten and appear more lifted post-treatment. Ishaa Skin and Hair clinic Hyderabad, we often recommend combining platelet-rich plasma therapy.
Diminish Acne Scars
Many people between the ages of 18 to 30 struggle with acne. If you are looking to alleviate the damage caused by acne, consider PRP acne scar injections. These injections contain a concentration of platelets, growth factors, stem cells, and other components which initiate neocollagenesis – the process of forming new collagen.
Treat Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a condition in which your skin appears discolored or blotchy due to an excess of melanin in the skin. Issues with hyperpigmentation can be addressed through microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, which creates tiny openings in the skin to promote collagen production. In turn, issues such as scar hyperpigmentation, melasma or sun spots, can be remedied by platelet-rich plasma.
Improve Hair Health & Volume
Platelet-rich plasma can accelerate healing in many areas of the body, including hair follicles. Many dermatologists utilize this treatment to reduce hair loss and increase the diameter of hairs and the density of hair growth. To ensure the best possible outcome, and maintain results, we suggest adding in a supplement designed to enhance hair health.
Healing injuries
PRP injections can help heal injuries to muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. PRP can also be used to speed up recovery after surgery
