What is hair PRP?
The word PRP stands for PLASMA RICH PLATELET. PRP is a 100% natural method that uses the patient’s own blood components to stimulate and regenerate damaged tissues in the face, neck, head, chest, hands, and body.
There are several components in the blood, the most important of which are red and white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets are one of the most important sources of cell growth factors in the body. Platelets contain proteins and important growth factors that are very effective in repairing. Platelets are actually blood cells that help regenerate tissues and grow new cells.
PRP injected into specific areas of the scalp acts as a stimulant, promoting collagen growth, tissue regeneration and repair, making the skin firm. In this process, cell proliferation and cell regeneration and rejuvenation are accelerated, and at older ages, it increases the freshness of the skin.
Who are the best candidates for PRP?
The PRP method is used to treat androgenetic alopecia, or hereditary baldness, which is seen in both men and women with different patterns.
PRP experts believe that this method can also be used to treat thinning hair in women with alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is caused by severe hair pulling to tie it or braid hair and other hair styles that require hair pulling.
Research has shown that the best candidates for PRP are people who have recently had hair loss. In fact, this method is not effective for people who are completely bald and does not cause hair regrowth in people who have lost all their hair.

Although the PRP method strengthens natural and grafted hair, it cannot be used for everyone. People with active scalp infections, as well as people with a history of viral infections such as shingles, diabetes, any blood clotting disorder, or patients taking anticoagulants such as aspirin, or medications They use immunosuppressants such as cyclosporine, cannot use this method.
