FAQs
Hair growth treatment with PRP typically involves 4 injections every 15 days for 3 months or 3 monthly injections for 6 months. Results are observed during this period, and the effects continue to be visible afterward.
There are several potential side effects that doctors discuss with patients within Creative Arts Aesthetic before performing fresh frozen plasma injections for hair, including:
- Some pain during treatment
- Headache
- Itching
- Swelling at the injection site
- Temporary discoloration
Several factors may increase the risk of side effects during PRP treatment, including:
- Taking certain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), within 48 hours of PRP therapy
- Underlying health conditions, such as low platelet count, blood inflammation, or platelet disorders
- Some types of cancer, such as bone cancer
- Smoking
- Receiving certain types of steroid injections within 2 to 4 weeks of PRP therapy
- Fever
- Anemia
PRP treatment increased hair density and peaked at 3 months, but after 6 months of treatment, hair density began to decrease. Therefore, researchers recommend PRP every 6 months for the best results.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is considered an innovative treatment within Creative Arts Aesthetic for addressing hair loss issues. This treatment relies on using components of plasma found in the blood, which contain growth factors and proteins believed to help promote hair growth and improve its condition.
1. PRP for Hair
PRP therapy works by stimulating blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow, and providing the necessary oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. Some believe that PRP stimulates stem cells in the scalp, leading to cell renewal and strengthening of the hair. In this treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, and the plasma containing platelets is separated from the blood. Then, the pure plasma is injected into the scalp using fine needles.
2. Benefits of PRP for Hair
Fresh frozen plasma offers numerous benefits and is considered one of the most effective treatments in hair care and combating hair loss. Within Creative Arts Aesthetic, we discuss the advantages and benefits of plasma therapy for hair, including:
- Stimulating hair growth and increasing its thickness, in addition to protecting hair follicles from premature shedding.
- Helping to increase hair thickness and density.
- Stimulating hair growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles.
3. Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Androgenetic Alopecia
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a treatment used by doctors to accelerate the healing process and may help restore hair growth in suitable patients. PRP is taken from the patient’s own blood and contains a high concentration of platelets. This treatment may be effective in patients diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia, also known as male and female pattern baldness, where the size of hair follicles decreases. PRP therapy enhances hair follicles to become thicker.
