PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a treatment for hair loss that uses the patient's own blood to promote hair growth. PRP is derived from the patient's blood by centrifuging it to separate the platelets from the other blood components. The platelets are then injected into the scalp, where they release growth factors that stimulate hair follicles and promote hair growth.
PRP has been shown to be effective in treating both male and female hair loss. In women, PRP has been shown to increase hair density by 30% and reduce hair shedding by 50%. PRP is also safe and well-tolerated, with no serious side effects reported.
