How Does PRP Work?
PRP is a three-step medical treatment in which a person’s blood is drawn, processed, and then injected into the scalp.
- Blood is drawn from the patient’s arm and put into a centrifuge to separate fluids of different densities.
- Separation of the blood into PRP and red blood cells. Platelets are important cells that stop you from bleeding when you cut yourself, they also release growth factors that attract and stimulate stem cell production to the damaged area.
- Inject the PRP into the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles and promote hair growth. It is the platelets that activate tissue repair and regenerate the damaged hair follicles.
