Introduction to PRP for Hair
PRP is an innovative, non-surgical treatment option for hair loss, harnessing the power of your body’s natural growth factors. By concentrating and injecting your own platelets into the scalp, PRP therapy stimulates hair follicles to promote new hair growth and thickness. This cutting-edge treatment is gaining popularity for its effectiveness and natural approach to combating hair loss.
Who is PRP Ideal For?
PRP therapy is ideal for both men and women experiencing early signs of hair thinning or loss. It’s particularly effective for:
- Individuals with androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair thinning).
- Those who prefer non-surgical treatment methods.
- Patients seeking to enhance the results of other hair restoration treatments.
- Anyone looking for a natural approach to hair loss treatment using their body’s own healing properties. It is important to have a consultation to assess your suitability for PRP therapy.
The Treatment Process
Consultation: Your PRP journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Sibel Ulusan, where your hair loss pattern and goals are assessed.
Blood Collection and Processing: A small amount of your blood is drawn and then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
PRP Injection: The concentrated PRP is then carefully injected into targeted areas of your scalp.
Post-Treatment Care: We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results. The procedure is minimally invasive with little to no downtime.
Results and Timeline
Following PRP treatment, patients typically observe initial improvements within a few weeks, with more significant results noticeable after a few months. The full impact of PRP therapy is generally visible within three to six months post-treatment, with patients experiencing increased hair fullness and a reduction in hair loss. Results may vary, and follow-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain and enhance the hair growth effects.
Regular follow-up sessions with Dr. Ulusan will help monitor your progress and tailor ongoing treatment as needed.
