The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is common to many medical specialties, including the area of the capillary.
The PRP is derived from blood which comes from the collection of a small amount of blood from the patient, followed by centrifugation to separate the components. The portion collected, and rich in platelets is injected directly into the area to be treated.
The use of PRP in Hair Treatments
The use of PRP in the treatment of hair loss or baldness can stimulate the cells responsible for hair growth and enhance the strength of the thread in the areas where it is applied, resulting in stronger, durable and thick hair. As the platelet-rich plasma is derived from the patient's own blood, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reactions.
When associated with hair transplant, PRP can be injected either in the receiver area as in the donor area, to speed up the healing process and promote the formation of new blood vessels nourishing and regenerating follicles.
