What is PRP Therapy?
PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma. PRP is an advanced technique of regenerative medicine.It involves injecting a patient’s own platelets into the weakened cells and thus empowering them to grow. Each cubic centimeter of plasma contains millions of growth factors that encourage stem cells in the hair follicle to grow and work efficiently. Platelet PRP therapy is one of the safest aesthetic procedures, as the chances of allergic reactions are minimal based on the fact that the patient’s own plasma is injected and has no external element.
PRP Vs. PRGF
PRP hair therapy and PRGF(Plasma Rich in Growth Factors) , are both somewhat the same. It’s just about the layers of plasma that are different in both. Cost of both the procedures varies, and PRGF is more expensive and ultimate results of both the procedures are also the same.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
The hype of PRP is worth it because of the following benefits:
100% Natural treatment for hair loss: PRP therapy involves the utilization of a person’s own growth factors for hair rejuvenation. It boosts up the body’s own healing mechanism for hair growth and thus grows hair naturally.
100% Safe Treatment: PRP treatment does not involve induction of any drug or external agent. That is why the chances of tissue rejection and allergic reactions are virtually 0% which means the treatment is 100% safe.
Non-surgical hair restoration: PRP therapy restores your hair without any surgical protocols. It is a minimally invasive procedure that is less time-consuming and more comfortable. On the other hand, surgical hair restoration, like hair transplants, may consume more time and cost. But keep in mind that PRP therapy for hair is never an alternative for a hair transplant.
PRP Therapy Recovery Time: Being a non-surgical hair loss treatment, there is no recovery time or downtime for the patients. You can easily continue your job, business, or routine activities right after your PRP session.
Painless procedure: PRP is a quick, noninvasive, and painless procedure. There is minimal to no pain associated with the procedure, and you can comfortably take your sessions. At our hair loss clinic in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, we perform this procedure under local anesthesia which is given through a nerve block that means your scalp is completely numb before starting PRP therapy for hair loss so that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort.
Customization: PRP therapy along with microneedling can be easily customized according to your individual needs. Whether you have hair thinning, hairline recession, or hair fall, it can be programmed according to your hair restoration goals.
What Makes JJ Aesthetics Unique: We use a PRP gun that fulfills the purpose of microneedling. We use imported kits, also free laser light therapy is given that stimulates hair growth. The pain is minimal. Our expert doctors perform this procedure with precision. These are the factors that make JJ Aesthetics one of the best clinics for PRP therapy in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. We perform 15 to 20 PRPs per day that makes our doctors stand out in what they do.
Experience PRP Therapy at JJ Aesthetics
A PRP session at JJ Aesthetics primarily consists of two basic steps:
- Clinical Consultation:
First of all, you go through a consultation session with the doctor. They thoroughly conduct your hair analysis based on clinical history, examination and lab tests (If Required)
- The Procedure
- Topical Anesthesia: We apply topical anesthesia to your scalp before treatment to make the procedure painless.
- Blood collection: We take a small amount of blood from your vein and then centrifuge it.
- PRP Extraction: After centrifuging the blood, we carefully extract plasma from the superficial layer, which is enriched with platelets, growth factors, and bioactive proteins.
- Injection of PRP: Dr. injects this platelet-rich plasma directly into the scalp tissues with the help of a syringe.
- Hair restoration: Bioactive proteins and growth factors in the PRP stimulate the formation of new blood vessels and regenerative cells that restore hair proteins. It turns hair from the telogen (hair-shedding) phase to the anagen (hair-growth) phase. So you might feel increased hair fall during initial sessions of PRP that is a positive indicator.
This whole treatment takes about 30–40 minutes. Since there is no downtime, you can resume your daily activities after your PRP session.
Pre-treatment care of PRP therapy
Below is your to-do list before your PRP therapy session:
- Fulfill yourself with a healthy and nutritious meal and drink plenty of water before arriving at the clinic for your session.
- Don’t take anti-inflammatory/blood thinner drugs at least five days before your session.
Post-treatment care of PRP therapy
Mark your to-do list after the session:
- Keep your treatment area dry and clean for at least 2 to 3 hours.
- Don’t bend your head for at least 3 to 4 hrs.
- Wash your hair with mild shampoo after 24 hours.
- Avoid strenuous physical activities like exercise, swimming, and running for 3 to 4 hrs after the treatment.
- Don’t use alcohol, smoking, or high-caffeine drinks after your treatment, as they can delay the healing process.
- Don’t expose yourself too much to the sun for at least 24 hours.
Risk Factors / Side effects of PRP Therapy
Since PRP is an autologous process, there are no chances of hypersensitivity reactions; however, there are some possible risks associated with the treatment. They may be caused by the injection itself. These include:
- Bruising or redness on the injection site.
- Mild swelling on the forehead.
- Tissue injury or infection at the injection site.
- Feeling of mild itching or pain.
- Feeling of nausea and dizziness after the procedure.
- Feeling of numbness (hard and heavy head) for 3 to 4 hrs.
These symptoms vary from patient to patient and usually resolve automatically within a few hours. The chances of complications are very low if PRP for hair is done by expert doctors, as we do receive complicated cases that are done by the technicians and quacks. In case of any complication after your procedure, you may consult with our doctors.
Role of PRP before and after Hair Transplantation
PRP therapy is used to preserve extracted grafts during the hair transplantation procedure and also injecting it in your scalp reverses the damages of follicle during it.
After hair transplantation, PRP sessions are highly recommended to strengthen your existing hair and to increase the better growth of your transplanted hair.
FAQs
You can consider PRP therapy as a treatment of choice if you’re suffering from diffused hair loss,androgenetic alopecia, male pattern baldness, female hair loss, alopecia areata,telogen effluvium and all types of common hair losses. PRP hair treatment is a routine hair care therapy to improve overall health of your hair, like facials are done for the skin care. However, the doctor makes the ultimate decision based on the clinical history and physical examination of the patient.
Results of PRP lasts for a longer period of time but not forever. For example, the results usually last for a minimum of nine months to a maximum of two years, depending on the health condition of every patient. You need to treat the basic cause and continue medications as per your condition/disease.
We recommend scheduling follow-up sessions every 2 to 3 months or year to maintain your treatment results. Following a healthy lifestyle like adequate sleep, a balanced diet, exercise, and managing stress levels helps you achieve long-lasting results.
This is a very commonly asked question and a bit difficult to answer because it depends on the hair loss process of every person, which varies from one person to another.
Usually 4 to 5 sessions are required to see visible effects. The doctors place these sessions 2 to 3 weeks apart. However in case of extreme hair loss or delayed hair growth, more sessions may be recommended by the doctor.
It may take up to 90 Days or longer to see the results of your PRP therapy. It depends upon multiple factors like the cause for hair loss, your genetic hair growth cycle, any underlying disease, or the extent of hair loss. In case of a positive family history for hair loss, you may require maintenance sessions quarterly. Usually after 3 sessions you can see the difference. In case of extreme hair loss, PRP therapy will stop the hair fall initially, followed by new hair growth, later on improving the overall health and shine of your hair.
It is better to take photographs before your treatment to compare your hair growth after the treatment.
The cost of a PRP hair therapy session in Rawalpindi and Islamabad varies according to the condition being treated. Generally, it starts from Rs. 8000 to Rs 12000.
