Hair PRP
History
Istanbul’s successes in the hair transplant industry have taken the world by storm, with an increasing number of international patients flocking to Istanbul for hair transplant operations. Hair transplant clinics in Turkey have also continued to offer a range of non-surgical treatments for hair loss. One example of this is the PRP, or Platelet Rich Plasma, treatment, which is available as part of SHIFT’s selection of services.
PRP for Hair
What is Hair PRP?
PRP involves extracting a small blood sample from the arm of a patient and placing this into a centrifuge for around 12 minutes. Once removed from the centrifuge, there will be three separate levels: platelet-rich plasma, platelet-poor plasma and red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma is then separated and injected back into the scalp of the patient to encourage hair growth.
A PRP treatment will not normally take more than an hour and should involve only a minimal amount of discomfort. There are no significant post-treatment precautions to observe following a PRP session, and patients will be able to return to their normal lives without problems.
It is normally necessary to perform more than one PRP session in order to achieve the best results. Most patients would be advised to have one session monthly for a series of several months and then to do follow-up ‘maintenance’ sessions every few months after that.
Advantages
What are the Advantages of Hair PRP?
PRP is one of a small number of non-surgical hair restoration methods, alongside temporary hair product solutions. In most patients, PRP has been found to boost hair growth and improve the overall aesthetic appearance of the hair, but only while the treatment is continued.
PRP is helpful in the sense that it is not a particularly invasive treatment, it does not involve a long period of downtime and it does not imply significant changes to the patient’s routine.
After Hair Transplant
Hair PRP in Hair Transplant Operations
As well as being available as a standalone treatment, PRP can be used in combination with a hair transplant (during the procedure, and also in the months following this, if you choose to do so). SHIFT will apply PRP to the patient’s scalp after completing the rest of the operation. This creates optimum conditions for the newly transplanted grafts, while also boosting the overall condition of the scalp area.
Disadvantages
What are the Disadvantages of Hair PRP?
The main disadvantage of PRP is that it is only a temporary solution, and so it will not alter the genetic processes that first led to the patient’s hair loss. Like Minoxidil and Finasteride, the beneficial effects will only continue insofar as the course of treatment continues.
Another disadvantage of PRP is that it will not necessarily achieve equally good results for all patients. It will normally achieve the most striking results on patients who are still in the early stages of hair loss.
Finally, some patients may not necessarily be good candidates for PRP treatment: for example, if they suffer from a hormone imbalance, an autoimmune disorder, or are heavy users of cigarettes, alcohol or controlled substances. A good hair transplant clinic will take such factors into consideration when proposing a course of treatment.
Hair PRP in Turkey
PRP is widely used in Turkey as a complement to surgical and non-surgical hair restoration solutions and also as a standalone treatment. Turkey’s emphasis on providing high-quality aesthetic medical solutions means that PRP treatment in Turkey is of a very good standard.
