What is PRP hair therapy ?
PRP (plasma rich plasma) therapy is used in numerous areas of medicine. One of the most popular applications of PRP in Vancouver is treatment of hair loss and hair rejuvenation. PRP hair therapy involves three easy steps:
Step 1: A small amount of blood is taken from your arm.
Step 2: The blood sample is put into a machine (centrifuge) and the Platelet rich portion (PRP) is extracted.
Step 3: The platelet rich portion (which is also known as liquid gold or PRP) is serially injected into your scalp (this could be done manually with a needle or semi-automatically with a mesotherapy gun).
How does PRP hair therapy work ?
The platelets are the blood cells that contain thousands of natural growth factors. These growth factors can trigger our cells to proliferate (grow, divide and stay healthy), they speed-up the healing process and stimulate tissue regeneration.
When injected into the scalp, these powerful growth factors result in:
1: Increased hair growth
2: Thickening of existing hair follicles
3: Increased density of hair
4: Increased blood supply to scalp and hair
