PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a hair treatment method frequently used for people experiencing hair loss, and especially for patients with androgenetic alopecia.

PRP treatment is a treatment method used to eliminate hair loss and thin, weak hair problems. The PRP method is not a surgical hair transplant method; it is a medical procedure that strengthens the hair strands from the root. Scientific research on PRP treatment has shown that platelet-rich plasma injections trigger natural hair growth and, by increasing blood flow to the hair follicle, thicken and strengthen the hair strands. In addition, PRP technology has in recent years also played an active role in wound and tissue treatment. Therefore it would be correct to say that the effectiveness of PRP treatment has been proven by scientific studies.

In PRP treatment, a blood sample is taken from the patient to whom PRP will be applied, and this sample is processed in a special device to separate the platelets from the blood. The platelets separated from the blood are injected into the scalp and applied as a hair treatment method. PRP hair treatment is a suitable treatment method for hair types that are thinning, breaking and shedding, and showing mild hair loss.

Benefits of PRP Treatment

PRP, that is platelet-rich plasma, is concentrated blood plasma containing about three to five times the number of platelets normally present in the bloodstream. The platelets in this concentrated blood plasma contain a high number of growth factors. These factors stimulate dormant hair follicles and help accelerate collagen production. At the end of this process, the hair strands of patients who have received PRP treatment thicken and their hair looks denser.

How Is PRP Hair Treatment Applied?

This method, which aims to minimize hair loss and strengthen the hair strands, is carried out by centrifuging blood taken from the patient to obtain platelet-rich plasma. The platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient's blood is injected into the scalp with a syringe.
