I must say that hair loss isn’t a joking matter, especially when you are quite young in age and hoping to flaunt your beauty in your youth. Quite a number of us have been left puzzled about the exact treatment for hair loss.
From my experience, hair loss is a terrible fact that you may live with without understanding when it will end or being assured of the exact period whether your hair will grow back.
There are many hair loss treatments, but the fact is that those treatments will provide greater efficacy in case you ascertain the underlying cause of your hair loss, says the expert at ASG hair transplant centre.
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is one of the possible hair loss treatments used to regrow hair in both males and females battling male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness.
How Does PRP Therapy Work
-
PRP Therapy was introduced a decade ago in the hair transplant and hair restoration sector after being used in the orthopedic sector.
-
With this, PRP treatment in India begins with obtaining a given sample of blood from an individual. Your own blood sample will be spun in a centrifuge to acquire the platelet-rich plasma.
-
The highly concentrated platelet-rich plasma will be injected back into the affected region of the scalp (thinning or bald) to regrow your hair.
-
The injected plasma facilitates repair and growth of cells and healing which at last bring about collagen production.
How much treatment is required
Platelet Rich Plasma is mainly administered depending on one’s rate and type of hair loss.
A number of treatment rounds if obviously required to restore your hair, which may be 3 to 5 sessions depending on the extent of hair loss.
The injections of PRP are administered monthly or as the hair transplant surgeon or dermatologist may indicate necessary.
One may experience discomfort at the injection site during its administration, but it’s just for a short period of time.
Who is the candidate for PRP Therapy?
-
Much as PRP therapy is quick treatment, less costly and effective, not all are candidates for the treatment.
-
The treatment will produce suitable results in case there is less hair loss with no extreme bald patches.
-
Patients with an underlying thyroid disease or lupus may not also benefit from the treatment.
-
Blood thinners may also reduce the amount of results from PRP treatment.
Comparing PRP treatment with other hair restoration methods
Hair Transplant
Patients with visible patches (baldness) are recommended to have a hair transplant than PRP therapy since the treatment is for onset hair loss. The hair transplant in Jalandhar is seen as a lifetime investment since it will recover the lost hair for once and for all.
FDA-approved medications
-
Finasteride and Rogaine are the two hair loss approved medications. These treatments are also possible immediate hair loss treatments when a hair expert is consulted.
-
Some patients may first try out either of these treatments before opting for PRP therapy.
