Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), also called autologous conditioned plasma, is a powerful treatment gaining recognition for enhancing recovery and results in various medical fields, including hair restoration. PRP is derived from the patient’s blood, and processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate the platelets in the plasma. These platelets are packed with growth factors that can significantly aid in healing and regeneration.
PRP injections are particularly effective in hair restoration promoting hair growth and preventing further hair loss. They play a vital role after hair transplant surgery by strengthening the transplanted hair follicles and helping new ones thrive. Starting PRP therapy about one month after surgery is recommended for several reasons:
Benefits of PRP After Hair Transplant:
Stronger Grafted Hair: PRP supports the strength and survival of newly transplanted follicles, encouraging healthier and more robust growth.
Faster Recovery: PRP injections accelerate the healing of the scalp, helping patients recover from surgery more quickly.
Enhanced Hair Growth: PRP helps stimulate the growth of new anagen hair, the phase where active hair growth occurs, particularly beneficial for FUE transplant patients.
Prevent Hair Loss: PRP not only boosts growth in transplanted hair but also helps treat and prevent further hair loss across the entire scalp, including areas where no transplant was performed.
Activate Dormant Follicles: For some patients, PRP therapy can help activate follicles that were previously dormant, contributing to overall hair volume and health.
In summary, integrating PRP into your post-surgery care plan can enhance the results of your hair transplant by making the grafts stronger, improving recovery, and promoting the growth of thicker, healthier hair.
