Supportive treatment
PRP Hair Treatment
A supportive method in which platelet-rich plasma prepared from your own blood is applied to the scalp.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) involves taking a sample of a person’s own blood, separating the platelet-rich plasma in a centrifuge and applying it to the scalp with fine needles. As a supportive approach to hair loss, it may be considered on its own or as part of a hair transplant plan. Its effect varies from person to person; the number and spacing of sessions are determined by the doctor.
