PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) HAIR
PRP stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma. This treatment involves withdrawing a small amount of a person’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting this plasma into the scalp.
Platelets contain growth factors that may play a role in cell signaling and tissue repair. In hair applications, PRP is sometimes considered as a supportive option for people experiencing thinning hair. It is thought to help nourish hair follicles and may contribute to healthier-looking hair. Effectiveness can vary depending on individual factors such as blood quality, genetics, and overall health.
