PRP Hair Treatment in Turkey

Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is a three-step treatment for hair loss and thinning. Hair loss or thinning may occur due to multiple reasons from genetics to nutritional deficiencies or lack of care. The process involves drawing the blood of the patient, extracting the plasma, and injecting it into the scalp. PRP contains various growth factors and proteins that stimulate and reactivate the dormant hair follicles. It nourishes the hair follicles and speeds up the hair growth process. PRP is a non-surgical treatment with a fast recovery process. Patients do not have to stay in the hospital after PRP hair treatment. They can go back to work the same day or the next day.

PRP hair treatment is an effective treatment for various hair conditions such as Androgenetic Alopecia (pattern baldness), psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis. These conditions directly affect the scalp and weaken the hair follicle. PRP provides the follicles with the necessary nourishment for growth and replenishment. The National Library of Medicine reveals that androgenic alopecia or pattern balding affects 50 million men and 30 million women in the US. Over 500,000 non-surgical hair and skin treatments are performed every year in Turkey. The region attracts more than 2 million foreigners every year for medical treatments.

Platelet-rich plasma is a non-surgical treatment for hair growth and hair strengthening. The procedure involves drawing the patient’s blood and injecting the platelets into the scalp. The proteins and growth factors in the platelets nourish and heal the hair follicles. It encourages hair growth in bald patches and thinning areas. Doctors typically recommend this treatment when there is major hair loss due to pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men and women. Doctors may also suggest this treatment as an alternative to a hair transplant if for some reason the patient cannot get it.

Hair PRP is a three-step process that takes 15-20 minutes in either a clinic or a hospital. Here is how the process works:

  1. Blood Withdrawal: The first part of the PRP treatment is the withdrawal of blood from the patient’s body. Typically, the blood is withdrawn from the arm. The blood is prepared for platelet-rich plasma extraction.

  2. PRP extraction: The blood is placed in a centrifuge to process it into three layers. The layers include platelet-poor plasma, platelet-rich plasma, and red blood cells. The platelet-rich plasma or PRP is collected and prepared to be injected.

  3. PRP injection: The platelet-rich plasma or PRP is then injected into the areas affected by hair loss or hair thinning.

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a treatment to stimulate and reactivate the hair follicles for hair growth. Here is the science behind the treatment:

  1. Platelets in the blood contain growth plasma and proteins that have healing properties.
  2. When the plasma is injected into the scalp it nourishes and heals the hair follicles.
  3. The growth factors and proteins in the plasma lead to hair growth in bald patches and thinning regions of the head.
  4. Hair growth takes at least 3 to 6 months and requires at least 2 to 3 sessions in a month.
  5. Immediate results can be seen in hair thickness and texture.
  6. Patients must be persistent and patient throughout the treatment to reap noticeable results.
