PRP or platelet rich plasma
What?
-PRP is a concentrate of platelets and growth factors in plasma (the liquid part of blood) used in the treatment of hairfall, stretch marks, acne scars, wounds, ulcers and skin rejuvenation.
-It is prepared from your own blood (so completely natural)
-The growth factors in it stimulate stem cells in the hair follicles for hair regrowth, or increase collagen production in the skin for skin healing and rejuvenation
How?
-Blood is drawn from your veins (like they do in any routine blood test)
-We centrifuge and further process the blood to obtain concentrated platelets and growth factors
-This rich concentrate is now injected into your scalp or scars (depending on the indication)
-This entire process takes about 1- 1.5 hours
-Normally, 4-5 sittings, each spaced 1 month apart are needed to show full results
