Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment is a non-surgical procedure that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate hair growth, improve hair thickness and overall hair quality and hair Here’s a detailed explanation of the PRP hair treatment process:
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation: Before undergoing PRP hair treatment, you will have a consultation with Dr. Amit Tanajirao Suryawanshi (MDS)
- Your medical history will be reviewed, including any underlying health conditions or medications.
- The provider will perform a thorough examination of your scalp to assess the extent of hair loss, the condition of your hair follicles, and the areas that need treatment.
- Your goals and expectations for the treatment will be discussed, and a personalized treatment plan will be created.
Step 2: Blood Collection: If you are considered a suitable candidate for PRP hair treatment, the procedure begins with a blood draw. This blood draw is similar to a routine blood test and is typically performed in a sterile environment.
Step 3: Centrifugation: The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge machine, which spins at high speeds to separate the blood into its various components, including red blood cells, plasma, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP is the portion of the blood that contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors.
Step 4: PRP Preparation: The PRP is then carefully prepared for injection. In some cases, an activating agent like calcium chloride may be added to enhance the platelets’ effectiveness.
Step 5: Local Anesthesia: Before the PRP injection, a local anesthetic is applied to the scalp. This helps minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Step 6: PRP Injection: The PRP solution is injected directly into the targeted areas of the scalp where hair loss or thinning is a concern. The injections are typically administered using a fine needle, and the depth and pattern of injection may vary depending on the treatment plan.
Step 7: Post-Treatment Care: After the PRP injection, you may experience some minor redness or tenderness at the injection sites. This is normal and usually subsides next day. Most patients can resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
Step 8: Follow-Up and Maintenance: PRP treatment for hair is often administered as a series of sessions,(5 to 7) typically spaced a month apart. The number of sessions required may vary based on the severity of hair loss and the desired results. After the initial series of treatments, clients can take maintenance sessions at regular intervals of 3 months to sustain the results.
Expected Results:
- Stimulation of hair follicles.
- Increased hair density.
- Improved hair thickness and quality.
- Hair fall / Hair loss is stopped.
- Enhanced overall scalp health.
PRP treatment can be used in combination with other hair treatments such as oral and topical medications.
