PRP-therapy for the treatment of alopecia is a new method of hair loss treatment in men and women, since the regenerative properties of growth factors of blood platelets are used. It is effective both as the hair loss treatment and after hair transplantation as an additional therapy to enhance its effect.

​

Plasma takes 55% of the blood and contains red and white blood cells, platelets, proteins, various nutrients, vitamins, electrolytes and other components and promotes their movement in the circulatory system of the body. Two components of other components of the plasma enriched with platelets, which are of interest in relation to PRP are cytokines (growth (development), differentiation and immune response proteins) and growth factors.

​

The growth factors are specific proteins released from various cells of our body (for example, platelets) and help to recover tissue problems or damages by developing the regenerative and recovering properties.

It is achieved by:

• Reactivation of inert stem progenitor cells in the area of tissue repair;

• Activation of cell proliferation in this area;

• Increasing cellular metabolism;

• Diversification, that is transformation of cells into other types of cells; in this case stem progenitor cells into hair follicle cells.

 

As platelets contain growth factors, the PRP therapy by increasing the concentration of the growth factors, activates more adult stem cells that direct the renewal of the target area, and as a result the self-healing of damages is achieved within a shorter time period and with larger effect.

​

The reactivation of damaged hair follicles is reached especially in the field of hair loss, and as a result they are ready not only to give new hair but also to strengthen the existing hair, to increase their diameter and length.
