Your body is your bodyguard too – sounds a little off, but it is true. When you have an infection in your body, your own body is actually enough to heal that infection; when you cut yourself, your own body has the tools to heal it. The blood that flows in our body is a lot more powerful than most of us think, and it can do a lot more than just healing cuts and infections’ blood can help regrow your hair!


How Does Blood Help With Hair Regrowth?


Even though PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma therapy has been around for a really long time, the uses of the same for hair regrowth have started coming into the forefront only recently. It has been used in sports medicine for a really long time – the procedure has been used to treat injuries to joints, muscles and even the Achilles tendon because the process is known to instigate the stem cells to jump into action.


Blood from your body will be extracted in a small amount, red and white cells from the blood will be separated using a centrifuge, and the remaining plasma will be turned into a growth serum, which will be injected back into the scalp. Studies have shown that PRP delivers extremely promising results and increases natural hair growth in a few sessions because the platelets in the injection prod inactive hair follicles or even newly implanted hair follicles grow.


How Can PRP Help?


One of the best things about PRP is that it is effective for most people, however, you still might want to consult a professional first. And in case you are considered an ideal candidate for the procedure, there are plenty of benefits that you will be able to reap:

  • If you have been experiencing baldness or an overall thinning, then PRP can help restore your hairline naturally.

  • If you have thin patches in your head, PRP can help make your hair look thicker and add volume as well.

  • PRP is a great way to give your self-confidence a boost because many people tend to lose their confidence when they lose their hair.

  • PRP is known to have long-lasting effects, which means that you will not have to keep going back from maintenance sessions, allowing you to concentrate on more important things in life.


Who Would Make an Ideal Candidate for PRP?


It’s important to know
if you would make an ideal candidate for PRP. When you are trying to get your hair back, we suggest that you first look for the best PRP hair loss treatment clinic, because you need to make sure that you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Although PRP can be done on almost everyone, it is best that you get the advice from a professional first. Here are the factors that will make you an ideal candidate for PRP:

  • If you have only started to lose hair

  • If you have androgenetic alopecia

  • If you have hair thinning due to genetic traits

  • If you have lost hair because of traction alopecia

  • If you have lost hair due to hairstyles that pull hair too much


It is important to remember that PRP will not work if you have gone completely bald, having underlying medical conditions such as lupus, have hair loss due to hormonal imbalance such as thyroid-related issues or are on medications such as blood thinners.


Does PRP Really Work?


Because there are no real standardized procedures (because each doctor or practitioner will be using different methodologies and formulae), it is a little difficult to tabulate the actual efficacy and longevity of the results, however, most studies have shown that PRP, when done correctly can give positive results. While there are almost no side effects to PRP, most people who have undergone the procedure have said that they have observed a decline in hair loss and noticed an improved growth pattern. In most cases, hair growth should start anywhere between the first and fourth session, but results tend to vary from person to person.


Should You Be Considering PRP for Yourself?


By talking to a specialist, you should be able to figure out whether you are an ideal candidate for the procedure or not. You will need to have all the underlying causes charted out and you might need to get some tests done to determine the same. For instance, if your hair loss is being caused due to hormonal imbalance, you might need any procedure done at all, because medications should be able to rectify it all. When you are talking to the medical practitioner, make sure that you disclose your entire medical history, including details such as smoking and use of alcohol. You will also have to remember that this is considered a cosmetic procedure, which is why most insurance providers will not cover the procedure.
