Hair Loss in Men: Grow Hair Naturally and Affordably up to 80% with PRP

In recent years, PRP has become one of the most searched hair loss therapies on the internet, thanks to its convenience, affordability, and natural healing ability. But what is PRP? How does it work, and is it really as effective as described? Let’s take 5 minutes to check out these key points that you should know about this fantastic treatment.

What is PRP

PRP, standing for Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a medical treatment that uses nothing but a person’s own blood to promote their healing process. There are 3 steps involved in the treatment, including:

  • A nurse will collect a small amount of blood (into a special PRP tube)
  • The tube is placed into a centrifuge machine that spins. (During this process, the blood will separate into 3 distinctive layers. One of the layers will be PRP)
  • PRP is injected into the hair loss areas or other injured areas, such as the face or injured tendons, ligaments, and muscles of other injured parts.
  • How does PRP work

    Simply put, when you get injured by a cut, Platelets are the cells that clot your blood and tell your body’s tissue to heal and grow. Due to their healing functions, many fields of medicine have started utilizing Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as a natural way to speed up recovery and promote the growth of healthier tissue in less time.

    Doctors recently discovered the benefits of PRP for hair restoration by using your body’s natural growth factors to repair and stimulate new hair growth. Therefore, this is the most natural way to regrow your hair without medication or surgery.
