WHAT IS PRP?

It is a non-invasive non-surgical pain free treatment for hair loss. PRP is a natural product produced from your own blood cells. The platelet rich plasma contains growth factors (such as TGF-beta, PDGF-AB, bFGF, IGF, VEGF and EGF) and bioactive proteins (globulin, albumin, fibrinogen), nutrients, vitamins, hormones and electrolytes which speed up tissue repair and regeneration. A blood sample is taken and put through a centrifuge to separate the different cellular components. The PRP layer rich in growth factors and bioactive proteins is then extracted from this. Once this PRP is prepped and activated it is injected into the affected areas of the scalp to stimulate hair growth.The treatment increases hair density and reduces hair loss to normal levels. Noticeable improvements are seen within weeks with hair growth continuing to improve over 6 months. PRP can be combined with other hair loss treatments including topical or oral minoxidil, oral finasteride, hair transplants, and supplements.
