PRP hair treatment: Boost the stem cells in the hair bulb

Baldness is a full or partial absence of hair. Men are most affected by this phenomenon. However, some women can also suffer from baldness. There are many causes of excessive hair loss.

Baldness is primarily caused by hereditary factors. As a result, if your father suffered from mild baldness, you are very likely to develop a receding hairline.

There can also be other causes such as stress, anxiety, poor diet or even taking certain medications can speed up the hair cycle and cause it to fall out more quickly.

Today, cosmetic medicine can treat the initial stages of baldness and prevent the hair from falling out. Indeed, PRP hair treatment uses growth factors contained in platelet rich plasma (PRP). This means that PRP can stimulate the hair follicle by acting directly on the stem cells.

This solution reduces hair loss and makes your hair thick, supple and silky. 

Before undergoing PRP hair treatment, you should have an initial consultation with your surgeon. This informs them about your background and helps them eliminate certain contraindications that could inhibit the operation.

During the procedure:

• A nurse will take a blood sample.
• They will then centrifuge the blood to separate the plasma and platelets from the other components of your blood.
• The surgeon then injects platelet rich plasma into your scalp using a fine needle.

After the procedure, you may notice bruising and redness around the site of the injection. These reactions are completely normal and will disappear within a few hours.

PRP hair injections are usually carried out under local anaesthetic in an operating room on an outpatient basis. 

The PRP hair injection session lasts 30 minutes on average.

After the first session, your hair will already look shinier, silkier and thicker to the touch.

After the second session, you will notice a clear reduction in hair loss.

After the third session, you will notice the hair starting to grow.

To increase the results of the PRP injections, you will have a session with the Miltahead helmet between each injection session.

You should have one or two top-up sessions each year to maintain the results achieved by the PRP hair treatment.
