PRP TREATMENT FOR HAIR
There is a simple logic behind PRP treatment. First, some blood is taken from the body of the person to be treated. Then, this blood is separated from the plasma by applying a special process. The obtained plasmas are given back to the application site by injection. Plasmas exhibit a very rich structure in terms of cells called platelets. The main function of platelets in the body is to ensure blood clotting. However, other than that, platelets contain some growth factors. Platelets therefore play a significant role when it comes to wound healing. It is used in skin rejuvenation processes in dermatology applications for cosmetic purposes. In addition, PRP treatment is also used in healing cracks, eliminating hair loss and in orthopedic applications. It provides a natural rejuvenation and healing without giving a foreign substance or drug to the body.
OBJECTIVES OF PRP TREATMENT
We said that platelets form the backbone of PRP treatment because of the growth factors they contain. Because of this feature, PRP therapy has found its use in many medical branches. Due to the effect of environmental factors and aging, many changes occur in your skin. The elasticity of your skin will decrease, sagging will increase and wrinkles will increase. The reason for all this is the decrease in collagen and fiber production in the skin. The purpose of PRP treatment is to reactivate collagen and fiber production and thus to eliminate skin problems. The PRP process, which can be applied to the skin, can also be implemented to prevent hair loss and strengthen the hair.
HAIR TREATMENT WITH PRP
Losing 100 to 150 strands of hair on average in a day is considered normal by the authorities. If the number is higher, this indicates hair loss. PRP treatment has provided significant success in the prevention of hair loss. As we mentioned, in the PRP process, the patients' own blood is taken and subjected to a special separation process. Platelets obtained from the blood are injected into the area where the hair loss is experienced in order to nourish and develop the hair follicles. This method is even more effective if there is a specific genetic hair loss. It is possible to accompany PRP application with hair mesotherapy.
For the PRP application to be made for the hair, 10 cc of the patient's venous blood is taken. This amount corresponds to 10% of a tea glass. The blood is centrifuged and separated into red and white. Red blood contains white blood cells, platelets, coagulation factors and PFT (platelet growth factors). The red blood is then reprocessed. It will be injected into the area where the hair is shed by napping method. The aim is to renew the tissues in the area where the hair is shed.
Hair treatment with PRP takes about 30 minutes. During the application, it is not possible for the patients to get hurt. After the application, there will be no traces, and people can continue their routine life from wherever they wish. Hair treatment with PRP should be applied at 15-day intervals for 3 to 4 months. It is sufficient to apply it once a year in the following process. In this method, since the plasmas used are obtained from the patient, there is no risk of allergy.
HOW IS PRP APPLIED?
The procedure must be performed by a specialist doctor. First, the blood to be taken from the patient is placed in a special tube in a sterile environment. This blood is then placed in a tube containing gel. The substances in the blood in the tube, which is passed through the centrifugation process, are separated for 5 to 8 minutes. The plasma part in the blood, which is rich in platelets and growth factors, will be separated in this way. Then, it is time to apply the mixture to the area where the hair is shed by injection. According to the needs of the patients, PRP can be combined with mesotherapy. The results of the application are effective for the long term. The scalp can be revitalized and structured in the easiest way. It is practical and can be applied safely. What it supports is not only the production of new collagen, but also supporting the vital functions of the scalp.
PRP treatment has no negative side effects. No swelling, bruising or pain occurs at the injection site. Since the patients' own blood is used, there is no danger of infection or allergy. It is not applied to people with bleeding disease and thrombocyte deficiency.
