The platelet - rich plasma (PRP) brings great benefits to accelerate results capillary graft and improve alopecia.
The PRP is one of the treatments most commonly used by hair implants to achieve better results in treatment. A blood sample is taken from the patient himself; this blood is centrifuged to obtain platelets and to be able to activate them to obtain growth factors. Once obtained, they are infiltrated into the scalp with microinjections.
Benefits of platelet rich plasma (PRP) together with capillary graft
1. Prepare the receiving area for the hair graft. PRP stimulates the regions where these hair follicles are to be placed. It favors blood circulation, the appearance of blood vessels, as well as the formation of new hair and greater thickness in the existing one. In addition, it also brings the necessary nutrients to the area so that the follicle adapts better and its growth accelerates.
2. Helps protect the donor area of the hair graft. Plasma is a great tissue regenerator, so it will make healing faster and all the scalp tissue from which capillary units have been extracted recovers much earlier.
3. It is a very comfortable and minimally invasive technique. The PRP is injected under local anesthesia and with the capillary mesotherapy technique (small superficial injections throughout the area to be treated).
4. Keeps the follicles in better condition. There is very little time between extraction and implantation, but follicles can become dehydrated once they have been removed. The plasma for alopecia hydrates and preserves them intact for a better implantation.
5. Presents excellent results to combat androgenetic alopecia. In both men and women, PRP has been proven to work very well to regenerate hair follicles in mild and more severe alopecia (combined with hair grafting). In this alopecia, it is usually also usual to prescribe an oral treatment that controls the high level of androgens.
6. There is no risk of rejection or allergies. Any patient could have a PRP treatment because only their own blood is drawn and injected. In fact, it is as simple as analytics. It does not require prior tests.
