Every person typically loses 50 to 100 hairs a day. This is usually unnoticeable because new hair is grown immediately but if the new hair does not grow that is when hair loss occurs. Hair loss is extremely common in today’s world which ultimately results in hair thinning. There are hundreds of different treatments for hair loss some are effective while some are not. Every treatment has its own levels of reliability and success. Whereas some treatments make complete sense scientifically. One of those treatments is platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP) Platelet-rich plasma is a therapy of hair for people who suffer from hair loss which is very common. In this treatment a person’s blood is drawn from his body then that blood is processed and
lastly, that processed blood is injected into the scalp of that person. When Platelet-rich plasma is extracted from your blood using a centrifuge-like mechanism which has the capacity to separate the substance from your blood and boost the concentration of a specific protein that promotes the healing process.
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is used by doctors for healing various areas of the body. Using this treatment for the purpose of hair loss is a brand new technique.
Platelets are basically components of blood along with red and white blood cells. When a person heals from a cut or wound. The platelets play a major role to promote the healing process of that cut or wound.
According to researchers if they could extract concentrated platelets and inject them into the area which is damaged then they could promote the healing process.
Platelet-rich plasma is consists of growth factors and proteins that can speed up tissue repair. As some types of hair loss are due to damaged follicles. Researchers hypothesized that the treatment of PRP could help in the process of regrowing hair.
