What is platelet rich plasma (PRP)?
One of the blood components is called platelet. The platelets stimulate hair follicles function by their own growth factors. In PRP, platelet-rich plasma is injected in to the scalp. Repeated injections increase blood flow. It seems that increased blood supply along with platelets, trigger hair growth and make hair shafts thicker. All is used in this method is from the blood and plasma. This can reduce the risk of sensitivity. This method is suitable for people who are not completely bald and are in the first stages of hair loss and hairs become only weak.
Patients should stop smoking 3 to 5 days before the procedure. Smoking affects the blood flow that delays the healing time. They shouldn't drink alcohol 3 days before the treatment. Doctors should take medical history. Since some medications such as aspirin, plavix and dabigatran or warfarin and rivaroxaban and any anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen or Celecoxib should be held under the doctor’s supervision. Also supplements such as gingko biloba, omega 3, fish oil and vitamin B & E must be held due to the increasing risk of bleeding during the surgery.
