Intensified hair loss affects both men and women - and almost at any age. It can be associated with various factors - stress, unbalanced diet, illnesses overcome, the use of various medications, as well as hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy or menopause. One of the most effective methods of stimulating hair growth offered by aesthetic dermatology is hair restoration with plasma or PRP injections (platelet rich plasma). It is a progressive treatment and restoration method, more effective than all other injections
applicable in trichology.

A PRP injection is a material obtained from the patient himself. During the procedure, blood is taken from a vein, placed in a special device or centrifuge and plasma is separated from it together with platelets. The activated platelets start releasing growth factors that promote rapid tissue regeneration. Invasively - with the help of a needle, plasma with platelets is introduced into the skin where active processes start. This stimulates the hair follicle, which moves into the renewal and growth stage. After the procedure, hair growth and structure improve, resulting in stronger and thicker hair. With the help of injections, it is possible to not only improve the general condition of the hair but also to stop or slow down hair loss.

How often should the procedure be performed?

The procedure should be performed in the form of a course - 3 to 5 times. If it is about improving the general condition of the hair after illness, pregnancy or a prolonged period of stress, then usually one course is enough and later the patient can decide whether it is necessary to repeat it. If the goal is to stop hair loss associated with androgenic alopecia, then it is advisable to repeat the course every year. With such a diagnosis, our goal is to prolong the hair growth phase.

Before and after the procedure

Before the manipulation, the hair should be washed and plenty of water drunk, so that the necessary amount of plasma for the material is sufficient. The whole process takes no more than one hour. Afterwards, you can go about your usual daily activities. Considering that the skin is punctured with a needle, you should refrain from chemical hair treatments - coloring, bleaching, etc., for the first few days.

PRP injections are used not only for hair restoration, they also help in the treatment of dandruff, as well as improving beard coverage in men. If the beard has become uneven, or as a result of stress, alopecia patches have appeared where hair no longer grows, this problem is best solved with the help of plasma injections. This regenerative procedure is also used to improve the quality of facial, décolleté and hand skin.

Overall, it can be said that plasma injections are a natural and unique procedure because the stimulating components are obtained from the patient's own blood. The effect is much greater than chemical meso preparations for hair stimulation, and the risk of allergies is also eliminated.
