HOW DOES PRP WORK?

There are three stages of this therapy. Firstly, a certain amount of blood that is around 60-100ml is taken from the body of the concerned patient. Then the blood is centrifuged. The part where there are more growth factors and platelets is taken out from the blood and saved by the surgeon. The patient is given an anesthesia so that they may not feel any pain during the therapy.

In the second stage, the wound healing process is activated by stimulating the scalp. This is necessary to do this process to use the platelets and growth factors which are the real heroes in PRP therapy. During some past years, common needles were used to inject and they would make the patients feel pain because of the needles. Now, surgeons have also found a solution for this problem and they have invented a product which they call “Scalproller”. It is a microneedle roller and it contains around 192 unique titanium needles which are used to open the skin with the same depth every time. It causes quite lesser pain as compared to common needles. It also saves the time of surgeon as it is rolled over the scalp.

The third stage deals with re-injecting the growth factors and platelets into the scalp. Hair follicles and Stimulated cells utilize these factors and cause new hair to grow. This thing not only helps to grow new hair but also converts thin hair into thick.

Autologous blood products and mesechymal stem cells in a human blood play a vital in this process.  The process of PRP therapy deals with healing and regeneration of tissues that is done with the help of special growth factors which are present in the autologous blood products.  This process has been endorsed in the medical literature of the United States and Europe. Not only for hair, PRP process is used for many purposes like orthopedics, plastic suregey, neurosurgery, and sports medicines. In all these areas of study, this process has been widely accepted because of its successful results.
