PRP during hair transplantation is a method that specialists apply to accelerate wound healing and hair growth after transplantation. The aim of PRP treatment is to revive the hair follicles, which have started to shed and have lost their strength and healthy structure. Hair loss decreases and hair strands thicken in the transplant area. Red dots and scabs that occur after the surgery disappear quickly and the hair growth potential increases.
PRP means the person’s own natural plasma fluid, which contains quite a lot of platelets than it should. In PRP, it is the person’s own blood. Therefore, it is not possible for any immune reaction to occur. In other words, PRP does not cause an allergic reaction as well.
The process of PRP
Specialists examine 10 ccs of blood from a person under laboratory conditions, and they acquire red blood. Provided in this red blood; a specific application of white blood cells, platelets, makes the plasma for PRP treatment. They inject this plasma into the part where the hair loss begins, or the hair follicles lose their strength.
This method takes approximately 30 minutes. There is no pain or scar on the operation after the application. After the application, the person can return to his / her daily life. Doctors recommend renewing the application once a year for the long-term results. Furthermore, the PRP method can also treat skin resurfacing, wrinkles, scars and acne scars.
PRP in Hair Transplantation
The PRP method has three functional applications for hair transplantation:
After hair transplantation ensures the permanence of hair follicles. (PRP supported FUE).
After the hair transplantation complete the recovery in quite a short time.
Rejuvenate and revitalize newly hair follicles.
PRP contains 9 main stem cell-stimulating growth factors to ensure that the hair follicle remains intact in the external environment and also provides oxygen and nutrient uptake of hair follicles in a short time with the new microvessel forming growth hormone it contains.
A certain time passes during the acquisition of hair follicles from the donor site and transfer to the recipient site. It is very important in order to maintain the survival of the hair follicles during this time. The roots wait in a cooled zone and in special solutions. The addition of PRP to the holding solutions or washing the hair follicles directly with the PRP solution is beneficial and enables the effects to occur more quickly. It increases the survival time of hair follicles, accelerating wound healing and triggering hair follicles to produce hair.
PRP after the operation
After hair transplantation, PRP treatment supports hair attachment and growth. In PRP assisted hair transplantation technique, doctors apply PRP vaccine to the healthy hair grafts from the donor area. In this way, the direction, angle and depth of the new hair follicles become more accurate, and the rate of obtaining natural-looking results increase. PRP assisted hair transplantation is a painless and leak-free technique, and it makes the transplantation process permanent. Specialists use special implant tools in PRP assisted hair transplantation. The diameter of the tools is less than one millimetre.
