PRP treatment and application areas.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is the most demanded hair treatment application in hair loss. This treatment has many application areas. Not only for hair loss but also for skin regeneration (facial youth). This treatment is often preferred for the brightness of the skin exposed to too much sun and for the healing of tissues.

The platelet-rich plasma in your body is loaded with numerous growth factors and nutrient-rich compounds that promote healing at the cellular level. In the event of an injury, bruise or cut, it is this substance that quickly heals your wounds.

In some cases, platelet-rich plasma needs to be injected externally. For example, if you have osteoarthritis of the knee, the injured area cannot easily receive nutrients from inside the body. In such cases, injecting the plasma directly into the wound makes it possible for it to heal much more quickly than usual. In some cases, PRP treatment also has a direct effect on pain levels.

PRP treatment for hair loss

Patients suffering from hair loss usually have a characteristic shrinkage of the hair follicles. Over time, as the follicle shrinks, it starts to produce thinner hair in the area.  Just as we have just explained, by injecting the plasma from the outside, that is, by injecting plasma into the scalp, the hair follicles are healthier and thicker and fuller hair growth is ensured.

We know that platelet-rich plasma accelerates the transition from the dormant "telogen" state of the hair follicle to the actively growing "anogen" state, as well as shortening the healing time required after hair transplantation. With PRP applications, we focus on the regenerative powers in your body and bring back the health of your hair with the power of platelets.

Researches find PRP applications positive

Platelet-rich plasma application has been proven to be effective in regrowing hair for patients in recent scientific studies. Taking into account the average number of hairs, hair density and terminal hair density, there is a statistically significant effect in the 6th month of the application compared to the beginning.

Things to do before PRP treatment

• Avoid smoking 15 days before PRP application
• Avoid alcohol consumption during this time.
• Avoid situations that are likely to have a bad impact on your health.
• Be sure to take medication regularly, only if prescribed by a doctor.

How is PRP application done?

Before starting the treatment, 10 cc of blood is taken from the patient and processed for 10-15 minutes. Appropriate amounts of PRP are injected into the area predetermined by the specialist.

Is PRP treatment done only once?

PRP treatment is a non-invasive treatment method that requires multiple repetitions.  There will be intervals between PRP sessions that our hair transplant specialist will specify to you in advance.  Our specialist will determine how many sessions of PRP treatment you will receive as a result of the first consultation process.

Is PRP effective in case of hair loss?

Anyone who experiences hair thinning and hair loss can benefit from PRP application.  However, patients who experience hair loss on their head should examine hair transplantation treatment.

How to take care after PRP?

• Post PRP care is extremely important.
• You should not smoke for a while after PRP.

Avoid heavy exercise or any exercise for at least one day.

Are there any side effects of PRP applications?

You may experience mild side effects in PRP applications. There may be some watering, some swelling symptoms and redness in your scalp for a short period of time. If you feel too much discomfort, you can apply an ice pack to relieve the area by talking to our specialist.

Can I return to work after PRP treatment?

After the treatment, you can return to work without any problems. We recommend to rest if possible.
