Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy offers natural solutions for hair restoration and skin rejuvenation, as well as helping speed healing after sports injuries.
Healthcare professionals may draw blood and use a centrifuge to isolate platelets from other blood components for injection into injured areas. Once separated, concentrated platelets may then be administered, says our Dermatologist in Mumbai.
How long will the results last?
PRP therapy has also proven helpful for osteoarthritis, skin rejuvenation and post-surgical swelling reduction. PRP uses only your own blood, meaning no allergic reactions occur and most patients experience minimal pain or slight bleeding after injection of needle.
Before beginning your PRP hair treatment in Mumbai, doctors run several tests to make sure you’re an ideal candidate for the procedure. They’ll check to make sure you have sufficient functioning hair follicles that are in good health; and that there are no underlying genetic conditions causing further loss of follicles. Once treatment is finished, results usually take between 4-6 weeks; though individual results will depend on how many sessions have been attended and annual maintenance appointments will likely be necessary.
How many sessions will I need?
Platelet rich plasma for hair is available in the form of packages designed to give patients the results they desire without placing unnecessary financial strain on them.
Procedure The treatment entails drawing blood and then using a centrifuge to process platelets into plasma that contains your natural growth hormones and other regenerative chemicals, and injecting this plasma directly into the scalp through a syringe for injection into treatment – we use numbing techniques with 31 gauge needles for added comfort during this step.
PRP therapy can be used on all forms of thinning or receding hair. When combined with micro needling, this treatment can promote hair growth and thicken certain sections. Although PRP treatments aren’t permanent solutions, they can still provide long-term improvements that leave undeniable long-term results – usually taking three – six PRP sessions spaced out over several weeks to achieve results.
What are the side effects of PRP?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair growth injection is extracted from your blood using a centrifuge and then injected using needles into areas that need treatment, for instance thinning hair. Your physician will make multiple injections into your scalp where PRP needs to be applied in order to boost growth.
As part of your procedure, you may experience mild discomfort; to ensure maximum comfort during this phase of the treatment, your physician can use various numbing agents and techniques.
PRP therapy has quickly gained in popularity in sports medicine due to its ability to hasten recovery from injuries. Many high profile athletes have used PRP injections and injections with PRP therapy as part of their injury treatments; Garrett Richards from Los Angeles Dodgers received PRP injections to address ligament tear injuries, while Steph Curry of Golden State Warriors utilized it in helping his knee heal faster after injury. PRP can also be used effectively against chronic tendon injuries like tennis elbow or patellar tendonitis; in addition, its capabilities can provide relief from chronic tendon injuries as well as various musculoskeletal conditions.
How will I know if I’m a good candidate for PRP?
PRP treatment can be helpful to most people suffering from alopecia aerate or thinning hair, especially those who have not responded positively to conventional therapies or finasteride.
Before determining whether PRP therapy is right for you, we will perform various tests to identify genetic causes of hair loss as well as examine follicle functioning. Based on these results we will determine how many sessions need to take place before you see positive results, says our best dermatologist in Mumbai.
Conclusion
PRP treatment begins by drawing blood, which will then be placed into a centrifuge to separate out platelet-rich plasma from other white and red blood cells in your system. Once separated, this serum will then be injected directly into your scalp using needles – with minimal pain or bleeding during this procedure. However, prior and post treatment it’s best to refrain from eating fried food, alcohol and cigarettes to achieve the best result from PRP treatments.
