Platelet-rich plasma treatment is performed in a hospital, where some blood is taken from the person.
The platelet-rich blood components are separated from the other components through centrifugation.
The platelet-rich portion, which contains platelets, white blood cells, growth factors, and cytokines, is then injected into the person's scalp. The treatment takes an hour and a half at most.
Men and women who suffer from hair thinning or hair loss are suitable candidates for PRP hair treatment. The treatment is applied in repeated sessions, and this frequency can be applied every 2 months or every 3 months for one year depending on the patient’s condition. If a more intensive treatment is needed, it can be applied with hair mesotherapy, and if these two treatments are applied in parallel, a period of 15 days should pass between them.
At Dr. Serkan Aygin Center, the day after the hair transplantation operation after applying the bandages, PRP treatment can be applied according to the patient's desire with or instead of laser treatment. PRP treatment after hair transplantation operations helps the tissues to heal quickly, and the hair in the transplanted areas to remain in the active growth phase for a long time. It also helps the transplanted hair to adapt to the transplanted area after the operation.
