PRP therapy is becoming a popular complement to face and hair transplants in Dubai. PRP can help accelerate the growth of transplanted hair roots while also thickening existing hair. Recent studies have suggested that applying PRP to the scalp can address androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Complex baldness problems may require getting once-a-month PRP treatments for four to six months.
For all patients addressing hair loss, consistent treatment with PRP therapy yields optimal results.
What Is PRP Treatment
Our blood platelets are rich in growth factors that help induce the growth of any cells, including collagen cells in the face and hair root cells on the scalp.
PRP treatments work by triggering natural hair growth and skin rejuvenation naturally, by increasing the blood supply to the skin and scalp.
For hair follicles, this not only effectively boost hair production, but thickness as well. For the face, collagen production is boosted, which is what makes our skin feel plumper and more elastic.
PRP therapy has proven to be a safe therapy that requires no surgery and has no adverse side effects. It uses your own blood cell platelets, which means your body won’t reject the treatment.
Process Of PRP Treatment For Hair
The PRP therapy process for hair is a 3 step treatment.
First, your blood is drawn. It is then spun in a centrifuge in order to separate its layers. This creates a concentrated layer of plasma, which is rich in the platelets that are needed for hair growth. Once the platelets have been separated, they are injected into the areas of the scalp that need treatment, stimulating natural hair growth.
PRP Treatments at Cosmocare Clinic may require between 2 to 6 sessions, depending on the amount of hair fall you have. It’s a painless process,
Process Of PRP Treatment For Face
PRP treatments for the face are also done in a 3 step process that is the same as what is done for hair loss treatments.
The only difference is where the injections are done, in this case, the dermis. The platelets injected to form a kind of matrix that stimulates and promotes collagen. It also helps facial tissue to regenerate, which tightens, tones, and smooths the skin, giving it a more youthful look.
There is no downtime for this procedure and a local anaesthetic is used to reduce any discomfort from the injections.
The results can be seen right away, however, this will improve over a 6 month period.
Benefits of PRP Treatments
