PRP treatment for hair fall is a procedure in which your blood is drawn and then injected into your scalp with injections to promote natural hair growth.
Nowadays almost everyone is suffering from hair loss. Be it male or female doesn’t matter, hair loss is plausible among each one of us. Not only adults even the children are suffering. If this continues then the time isn’t far where each one of us would be using wigs and there will also come a time where there is no availability of hair to even create wigs.
But don’t you worry, there are treatments that prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. And one such treatment is the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP therapy is a three-step treatment that involves drawing one’s own blood then the blood is put into a centrifuge, a machine that separates the red blood cells from the plasma and then the plasma is injected into the scalp.
Our blood is made up of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Plasma is the fluid part of the blood which suspends and carries blood cells and nutrients throughout the body. Platelets are blood cells that play several roles in the body such as they help in a blood clot, promote healing and form new cellular growth. The main reason for using PRP in hair restoration is to trigger inactive hair follicles into an active growth phase. It regenerates hair growth, revamps scalp health and hastens to heal and improve overall quality, thickness, and density of your hair.
