PRP - Hair Loss/Thinning/Facials

PRP, which stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma is a medical treatment that utilises the patient’s own blood to promote healing and regeneration. The process involves extracting a small amount of blood from the patient, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. This concentrated plasma is then injected back into the patient’s body at the site of injury or damage.

The platelets in the plasma contain growth factors and other bioactive proteins that aid in tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the affected area, PRP stimulates the body’s natural healing response, promoting the growth of new cells and blood vessels, and accelerating the repair process.

Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and improving hair thickness. The growth factors in PRP help prolong the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and decrease the telogen (resting) phase, resulting in increased hair density.

PRP therapy has shown promising results in stimulating hair growth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness) and other types of hair loss. PRP therapy can be used in combination with other hair loss treatments, such as medications (e.g., minoxidil, finasteride) or hair transplant surgery, to enhance results.
