Chapter 114- PRP Scalp Injections for Hair Loss
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentration of platelets and plasma derived from your own blood. PRP is a rich source of specialized proteins called growth factors and cytokines that promote hair growth and healing.
The treatment is a simple in-office procedure where a small sample of your own blood is processed in a lab. The sample is spun at a high rate of speed in a special centrifuge to separate the PRP from other components of blood.
The PRP is injected into targeted areas of your scalp. There is no downtime post-treatment, and you can resume your regular activities immediately after the procedure.
For optimal results, PRP injection therapy should be administered 3 - 6 times a year.
