The use of Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP treatment for hair loss is a relatively new technique in dermatology. However, it has quickly grabbed the attention of top dermatologists and researchers due to its several positive hair regrowth outcomes in patients with different degrees of hair loss.
What is PRP treatment for hair loss?
PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP treatment in Melbourne for hair loss is a 3-step non-surgical medical procedure, in which, the patient’s blood is extracted and processed to acquire the enriched platelets or high growth factors present in the blood. These enriched platelets are then administered to the bald areas of the scalp.
These enriched platelets trigger hair regrowth in the bald areas of the scalp and maintain it by enhancing blood supply to the hair follicles and increasing the hair shaft thickness.
The enriched platelets also stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin — the protein-rich growth factors of new healthy skin tissues. These new ski tissues further aid hair regrowth on the scalp.
PRP treatment Procedure
PRP skin treatment in Melbourne for hair loss is a 3 step process:
Step 1: First, blood is drawn from the patient, typically from their arm. This blood sample is then placed in a centrifuge — a spinning machine that rapidly spins the blood to segregate it into fluids of different densities.
Step 2: After 10 minutes in the centrifuge the blood gets segregated into three layers of fluids with different densities:
- Platelet-rich plasma
- Platelet poor plasma
- Red blood cells
The Platelet Rich Plasma is utilised while the rest is discarded.
Step 3: This Platelet-rich plasma fluid is then admitted into the bald areas of the scalp via a microneedle syringe. Local anesthesia is applied to minimise the discomfort.
