Blood consists of red cells, white cells and plasma. Blood plasma is a yellowish liquid component of the blood that holds blood cells of whole blood in suspension. It’s the liquid part of the blood that carries cells and proteins throughout the body. Platelets are a component of the blood whose function is to react to bleeding from a blood vessel injury by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot.
Furthermore, platelets promote cell growth and regeneration. Platelets are also known to be a source of growth factors that promote tissue recovery by increasing blood flow and cytokines.
Platelets are responsible for promoting and enhancing the function of hair follicles used via plasma injection treatment. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a treatment in which components of the blood (the red cells and the plasma) are separated and the platelets are then injected into the targeted area of the scalp. The scalp is the part of the skin that covers the top of the head.
Plasma injection is a common and new non- surgical method for treating hair loss and restoring hair for both men and women. It depends on the use of blood cells in a way that only enriched cells which contain different types of proteins remain in plasma liquid. The blood is spun in a centrifuge and the platelet rich plasma is separated from the rest of the blood.
What makes you a suitable candidate for PRP treatment?
PRP injections do not need many conditions to be available. You can get this treatment as long as you do not suffer from chronic conditions that cause hair loss.
It is also better not to suffer from any blood diseases such as anaemia or immunodeficiency, otherwise the treatment will not have the desired results.
The result will be seen after a few weeks and continue to improve over time. By the end of the full course of treatment, hair loss will be will no longer be a problem.
How is a plasma injection used for hair in Turkey?
Plasma injection treatment has become one of the most cosmetic methods in beauty centres. This procedure can be performed without the fear of any side effects or complications, with a high success rate. Moreover, it has become a method approved in cosmetic centres in Turkey as well as Europe and the Arab region.
Plasma injections are used in the following way:
The area being treated is thoroughly cleaned to prevent any microbes from moving into the scalp. Injection points are marked. The doctor then injects the plasma into the targeted area. Finally, the area is cleaned to dried.
PRP sessions
Following extensive research, doctors have found that high concentration of platelet-rich plasma helps stimulate hair growth during its natural growth cycle. The number of sessions varies from case to case. However, on average, it is usually one session a month spread over three months or more, depending on what the doctor considers to be the most appropriate for your condition. The number of sessions is usually determined according to your condition, degree of hair loss, rapidity of hair growth, age, and changing hormones.
