In recent years, doctors have learned that the body has the ability to heal itself. PRP treatment – Platelet-rich-plasma therapy is a form of regenerative medicine that can harness those abilities and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue.

What is plasma and what are platelets?

Plasma is the liquid portion of whole blood. It is composed largely of water and proteins, and it provides a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets, also called thrombocytes, are blood cells that cause blood clots and other necessary growth healing functions.
Platelet activation plays a key role in the body’s natural healing process.

What is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and what are PRP injections?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses injections of a concentration of a patient’s own platelets to accelerate the growth of transplanted hair follicles, reduce hairloss and increase the thckness of thinning hair. In this way, PRP injections use each individual patient’s own healing system to improve his hairloss problems.

PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into the thinning area. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces.

That way we can prevent hairloss and increase the survival of the transplanted hair follicles.
Prp therapy is ideal for patients who face hairloss and have not actual gaps but lots of thin hair which reduce their hairdensity but also for patients who have a hairtransplant procedure and want to maximaze and accelarate hairgrowth and at the same time prevent more hairloss in the future.
