The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, spinning it in a centrifuge to isolate the platelets, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma into the scalp. These platelets release growth factors that can improve blood supply to the hair follicles, strengthen hair roots, and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle. All while taming inflammation and helping with scalp disorders! <strong><u>How many PRP sessions are needed, and when will I see results?<\/u><\/strong> Answer: Most treatment plans start with 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4\u20136 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 4\u20136 months, depending on individual response and severity of hair loss. Visible results such as reduced shedding and increased hair density typically appear after 3 to 6 months, although some may notice early improvements sooner. <strong><u>Is PRP Therapy safe and are there any side effects?<\/u><\/strong> Answer: PRP is generally considered very safe because it uses the patient\u2019s own blood, minimising the risk of allergic reactions or infections. Common side effects are mild and may include temporary soreness, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a day. Serious side effects are rare when performed by a qualified professional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Understanding Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that uses a concentration of the patient\u2019s own platelets to stimulate hair growth.
