Are you looking for an effective solution for your hair loss? PRP Therapy may regrow it for you. PRP Therapy is an emerging remedy for hair loss, but some patients are apprehensive about it since it involves a series of injections. Because of this, one of the questions doctors often get asked about the procedure is – Does PRP therapy for hair loss hurt.
PRP Therapy for Hair Loss
PRP Therapy for hair loss is a non-surgical hair regeneration system based on wound healing technology that utilizes platelet rich plasma. Data obtained from studies carried out using PRP for hair loss, indicate that the growth factors released by the platelets help to stimulate the stem cells in the hair follicle, resulting in hair growth. However, individual results may vary with each patient.
How it works
Blood is first drawn from the patient and then spun in a centrifuge, to separate the platelets and plasma. The plasma is then injected into the areas of the scalp where hair loss has occurred.
It typically takes about 3 PRP treatments to see results.
Does PRP Therapy for Hair Loss Hurt?
PRP Therapy for hair loss is a safe, comfortable treatment that is not painful. Local anesthesia or numbing creamis applied to the scalp at the start of treatment, so the area is completely numbby the time the PRP injections are made. As a result, patients don’t usually feel any discomfort during treatment.
