PRP, which stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, is also known as platelet rich plasma therapy. In this treatment method, the patient’s own blood is used. “What is PRP mesotherapy?” In short, the question can be answered as separating the blood taken from the person and applying it to the scalp. With this treatment, it is aimed to repair hair follicles and reduce hair loss. In this method, which provides great benefits in a short time, there is no risk of an allergic reaction as the person’s own blood is used.
What is PRP mesotherapy?
Many procedures can be done to prevent hair loss on the scalp. PRP is one of them. PRP mesotherapy is the process of separating the blood taken from the person and injecting it into the scalp. In this way, the hair follicles are stimulated with the person’s own blood and shedding can be prevented. It is also effective for strengthening and growing hair. Since the person’s own blood is used, more effective and faster results can be obtained.
How is PRP mesotherapy done?
It is wondered how PRP mesotherapy is applied. For this application, blood taken from the person is needed. That is, firstly, 10 to 20 ml of blood is taken from the patient’s venous blood. The red cells in this blood are then separated by microfiltration and centrifugation techniques. Afterwards, a plasma material rich in platelets and platelets is obtained. This resulting material is applied to the hair follicles of the person.
This procedure, which is applied for tissue regeneration, is performed using micro-scale and very fine needles. Therefore, it is similar to mesotherapy in terms of application method. However, the difference between PRP and mesotherapy is the material used in these treatments. While the person’s own blood is used in PRP, components such as vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes are used in hair mesotherapy. In other words, although PRP and mesotherapy are the same in terms of application, they are different in terms of injection material.
Does PRP grow hair?
People who have no hair are researching whether PRP grows new hair. This treatment method is applied to revitalize weak and thin hair. It is also suitable for people experiencing genetic hair loss. However, people who have no hair can not have PRP hair treatment. Because this method does not grow new hair. If there is a strand of hair but it is dormant and cannot grow, then PRP is effective. It has the function of repairing and restoring the hair.
It is not possible to resort to any treatment other than hair transplantation to prevent hair growth in a balding area. In other words, this treatment cannot be applied to people who do not have hair. However, for those who have weak hair structure, weakened hair strands over time, and those who experience hair loss genetically or periodically, PRP and mesotherapy treatment can give very effective results when used together appropriately.
