PRP is derived from calibrated centrifuging of the patient’s own blood sample. The platelet rich plasma is then extracted and injected into the affected area. The PRP so derived is rich in excellent growth factors.
PRP for Hair
Hair loss that occurs due to multiple reasons like age, certain medical treatments, hormonal imbalances, androgenic alopecia( male pattern baldness) responds well to PRP therapy. It’s injected into the deeper layers of the scalp for promoting follicular growth and rejuvenate dead hair follicles.
