PRP stands for Platelet-rich plasma, which is derived from blood. Blood has hundreds of components and many of them have the power to stimulate hair growth. Hair PRP may be a new concept in India, but PRP treatments have been used for ages to treat several chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Only recently has PRP become famous as the elixir that restores hair and skin health. Hair PRP uses the same working principle as PRP used to treat tendon injuries and osteoarthritis. We will find out all about hair PRP, the mechanism of its action, the ideal candidate for hair PRP, its benefits, possible side effects, and where you can get hair PRP done safely!
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is derived from blood. Don’t worry! At VLCC, our experienced dermatologist will draw a small amount of blood from you and process it to isolate the plasma.
This plasma has a large number of platelets with growth factors.
The doctor uses tiny, microneedles to deliver the PRP just under your scalp around the areas of hair loss.
Platelet-rich plasma has a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors as compared to your blood. So, when the extracted PRP is injected back under your scalp, it stimulates the dormant hair follicles.
The higher concentration of growth factors in PRP encourages hair growth in areas of the scalp that have been experiencing balding. The exact mechanism of how these growth factors stimulate hair follicles and hair growth is still unknown, but multiple studies have shown the effectiveness of hair PRP in the treatment of balding.
Are you experiencing excessive hair fall and hair thinning? Do you have male-pattern baldness? Have you tried hair supplements and hair growth sprays to no avail? Then you are indeed the ideal candidate for PRP hair treatment.
Hair PRP has long-term results that can last between 3 and 6 months! If you want a long-term solution to your endless hair fall and thinning, then hair PRP is the next logical step for you.
Hair PRP can help men and women reduce hair thinning. As long as you are an adult, and do not have any chronic health issues, you can opt for hair PRP at any VLCC Clinic near you. Our expert dermatologists will listen to your concerns and provide you with a tailored solution suited for your hair loss problem.
The number of sessions of hair PRP required depends highly on the individual and the extent of their hair-related problems. It is best to speak to a certified and experienced professional before you opt for hair PRP since they can assess exactly how many sessions you need.
At VLCC, we have seen people experience visible results with just 3 hair PRP sessions as well. However, those with finer and brittle hair do require up to 6 hair PRP sessions.
Your hair and scalp will require a thorough check before we can confirm the number of sessions you will need for the desired results.
Hair PRP is a long-term solution, but it is not permanent. It is impossible to predict how long the effects will last, but results from multiple studies show that the treatment showed results 3 months after the final session, and in many cases, the renewed hair growth, density, and thickness persisted for 6 to 12 months!
Hair PRP is an investment if you want a boost of confidence. It is a scientific and minimally invasive way to boost your hair growth. You can opt for hair PRP once in 6 months to maintain your lush hair.
The result of hair PRP sessions can vary between two individuals of the same age, build, and sex, but the benefits of hair PRP are undeniable.
Ideally, you should get your hair PRP sessions twice a year at 6 months gap to maintain your hair growth. It is especially true for male pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia. You must understand that the hormones in your body are causing your follicles to shed faster than they can grow hair, so you have to counter their effect with hair PRP treatment and that will require more than one session per year. That is perfectly normal and even suggested by experts!
Whether you have androgenic alopecia or any other causes of hair thinning, hair PRP can help regrow your hair. Even women who are victims of hormone-dependent hair loss caused by hypothyroidism can benefit from hair PRP treatment.
Since hair PRP involves the use of the client’s own blood, there is no chance of infection. There is also no chance of allergies since your own blood components are used to treat hair loss in a very localised manner.
At accredited clinics such as VLCC, the practitioner will only use sterile equipment and new microneedles for the entire procedure. That ensures the minimum risk of exposure to external infections.
Just like any minimally invasive procedure, hair PRP can have the following side effects -
Please note that these are completely normal after any PRP treatment. These happen due to the microneedling and delivery of the PRP under the skin. They should resolve on their own within a week.
Your personal consultant at VLCC will help you with the post-treatment care. If your pain or swelling is too much, you can always reach out to your consultant for additional medical care.
Hair PRP is minimally invasive, which means microneedles will be used to introduce the platelet-rich plasma under your scalp. VLCC has the latest tech, and trained experts who ensure a sterile environment and safe practice when it comes to microneedling.
You must choose the clinic wisely for processes like these which involve microneedling or PRP. The cleanliness of the equipment and the experience of the professional can make the process safe and painless for you.
Moreover, every VLCC clinic has performed hundreds of hair PRP sessions over the past year, which gives them the know-how of exactly how many sessions you need and how frequently you might need them to maintain your hair health, thickness, and growth.
