Does PRP help hair grow?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a treatment that uses a patient’s own blood plasma, which is rich in growth factors, to promote healing and rejuvenation in the skin and scalp.

PRP therapy is a relatively new treatment for hair loss, and it works by stimulating the growth of new hair follicles and promoting the growth of existing hair. The treatment is based on the idea that the growth factors and other substances in the PRP can stimulate the hair follicles to enter into the growth phase and promote the growth of new hair.

PRP therapy for hair loss is typically done by taking a small blood sample from the patient, similar to a routine blood test, and then placing it in a centrifuge to spin and separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. The PRP is then injected into the scalp or applied topically using a microneedling device or a derma roller.

Although it’s a relatively new treatment, there have been several studies that have shown the potential benefits of PRP therapy for hair loss, with some patients reporting an increase in hair growth and thickness after the treatment. Results have been 80% effective on patients with recent hair loss or thinning. However, it’s important to note that the results can vary depending on the individual.

It’s also worth mentioning that PRP therapy should be used in conjunction with other hair loss treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride, and a healthy lifestyle, good skincare, and a balanced diet can all contribute to healthy hair growth.

It’s always best to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate your individual needs and provide the best advice on how to achieve the best results. If you’re worried about hair loss, book a consultation with one of our medical professionals today.
