PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a nonsurgical hair-loss treatment that involves injecting platelets, extracted from your own blood, into your scalp to restore thinning hair.
PRP hair restoration is considered a safe and less invasive alternative treatment option than hair transplant surgery, and the Doctor/trained Registered Nurse who perform it say it can stimulate the follicles and slow the rate of hair loss. In some cases, it may even help regrow hair.
Platelets in your blood contain growth factors, or the cell-signaling proteins that orchestrate the body’s tissue rejuvenation and healing systems. Plasma is the fluid in blood that carries the platelets, along with red blood cells and white blood cells.
Some studies suggest that PRP may help increase stem cell proliferation to aid in healing.
