Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has become an increasingly popular and effective treatment for hair loss, showing promising results across various types of alopecia. At DYU Aesthetics in Bangalore, we offer PRP hair treatment to help individuals combat hair thinning and stimulate hair regrowth. In this blog, we’ll explore what PRP treatment is, its benefits, expected results, and the duration of its effects. We’ll also answer common questions about PRP hair treatment and provide tips for maximizing its effectiveness.
What is PRP?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a regenerative medicine technique that uses platelets—small cell fragments in your blood that contain growth factors. These growth factors promote cell reproduction and tissue regeneration, making PRP an effective treatment for hair loss.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to separate the PRP from other blood components. This PRP is then injected into areas of the scalp affected by hair thinning or hair loss. Once in the scalp, PRP stimulates hair follicles, prolongs the growth phase, and increases hair density, promoting healthier, fuller hair.
How Successful is PRP for Hair Loss?
Research shows that PRP treatment has a high success rate in improving hair count, thickness, and hair shaft diameter, particularly for those with androgenetic alopecia. Here’s a breakdown of some findings:
- Hair count improved by 29.2% after three PRP sessions.
- Hair thickness increased by 46.4% after three sessions.
- Hair shaft diameter increased more significantly than with minoxidil alone, a common hair growth medication.
- PRP satisfaction: 87.5% of participants were satisfied with PRP results compared to 37.7% for minoxidil alone.
How Long Do PRP Results Last?
PRP results are generally temporary, with maintenance sessions required to sustain the benefits. Studies suggest:
- Most clients retain PRP benefits for up to 12 months.
- Hair density may begin to decline within six months if maintenance sessions are not undertaken.
- A follow-up session every 3-6 months is typically recommended for lasting results.
Enhancing PRP Treatment Effectiveness
To maximize the results of PRP treatment, it can be combined with other hair loss treatments, such as:
- Minoxidil: Studies indicate that combining PRP with minoxidil enhances results.
- Hair Transplant: PRP can accelerate recovery and improve density after a hair transplant.
PRP Treatment Side Effects
Since PRP uses your own plasma, the risk of allergic reactions is low. However, some clients may experience mild side effects, including:
- Mild pain or bruising at the injection site
- Temporary swelling or redness
In rare cases, potential side effects may include infection, tissue damage, or minor bleeding. Our specialists provide detailed guidance on side effects, post-treatment care, and personalized recommendations to minimize discomfort.
