PRP therapy is a remedial and protective therapeutic treatment. PRP involves centrifuging a patient’s blood sample to separate out the red blood cells from the platelet-rich plasma and then injecting this platelet-rich plasma into the treated areas.

This plasma is very rich in growth factors, which along with platelets, stimulate natural healing processes. This concentrated ‘platelet-rich plasma’ is injected into the skin, all over the scalp or other treated areas. It helps the skin, and scalp to rejuvenate, and facilitates acceptance of hair follicles transplanted from the back of the head to other areas. Since the plasma has come from the patient’s own body, there are no allergic reactions.

We use PRP after a hair transplant to have the transplanted grafts grow stronger, healthier, and better quality new hair. PRP injections are also known to help prevent and treat hair loss, which is beneficial to the rest of the scalp that hasn’t had a transplant procedure.
