“PRP treatment is based on plasma-protein growth factor contained in the blood, the main inducer of hair growth process!”
PRP is an acronym for platelet-rich plasma, a natural process to accelerate hair growth based on blood plasma protein/platelets.
Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a board-certified plastic surgeon- head of Dr. Karishma Aesthetics and her team regularly performs PRP treatment for hair growth and skin rejuvenation at her clinic in Bangalore, India.
The cost of PRP treatment in Bangalore is pretty much affordable compared to hair transplant surgery influenced many people to opt for this result-centric option.
PRP treatment or platelet-rich plasma is a natural method to induce hair growth or skin rejuvenation that works on blood plasma proteins drawn from the patient’s body. The method of PRP is used for both skin rejuvenation and hair regrowth, gaining popularity in the cosmetic fraternity due to its properties of natural option, risk-free tendency, and result-proven characteristics.
PRP for hair growth follows drawing blood from a patient’s body and centrifugation to concentrate the blood plasma protein to accelerate the hair growth process. Then, the drawn blood is injected into the hair loss areas through microneedles, which involves a bearable amount of pain easily managed by numbing creams or local anesthesia.
Step I (Drawing blood): Dr. Karishma or a team member will draw blood from your arm. The drawn blood is sent for the centrifugal process to collect the concentrated form of blood to inject them into the areas of the scalp where hair growth is desired.
Step II (Centrifugation of blood): After blood draws from your arm, it is centrifuged at a higher speed via a centrifuge machine to collect a highly concentrated form of platelets. The centrifuge process will separate the blood into three layers: plasma, platelets, and red blood cells.
Step III (Injection process): The concentrated form of platelet-rich plasma is drawn into a syringe and injected into the scalp areas that require hair regrowth.
The PRP treatment is a natural way to boost hair growth, especially for those suffering from hair thinning issues. The growth factors in blood plasma protein/platelets promote healthy hair growth and use the patient’s healing system to improve the hair growth cycle. Since because PRP involves growth factor in its most concentrated form, it helps accelerate the thickness of the hair shaft and the amount of blood supply to the hair follicles.
The PRP is a bio-effective treatment for hair loss and offers a natural outcome followed by regrowth of hair roots from the areas where hair loss is prominent. PRP is strongly recommended for women struggling with a severe hair thinning issue due to female pattern baldness (Androgenic alopecia), offering them a new regrowth of hair roots.
The most significant benefit of PRP injections is their flexibility in drawing blood from anywhere in your body. PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your blood and obtaining its concentration form, followed by a spinning process. The centrifuge machine helps collect the growth factor enriched platelets, and cellular signaling factors are injected into the hair loss areas, accelerating hair growth.
Note: PRP is combined with hair transplant procedures to offer optimal results.
The involvement of PRP therapy has a significant role in hair loss treatment, as it is a bio-effective option to induce hair regrowth. Mostly, people opt for the non-surgical alternative to correct or improve the issue when they are ineligible for the surgical procedure or are hesitant or not okay with the downtime. In that case, PRP is a boon for those who are dealing with severe hair thinning/pattern baldness but do not wish to go under the knife. Moreover, PRP used to reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles results in a healthier and thicker hair shaft.
