Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

What is it?

One of the great innovations of Regenerative Medicine is the treatment with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), a minimally invasive and non-surgical procedure that uses the patient’s own platelets, rich in growth factors, to stimulate the development of hair follicles.

This treatment consists of the collection of a blood sample from the patient and the extraction of the plasma portion with a high concentration of platelets, through a centrifugation process. Then this portion of the platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp, stimulating the regeneration of hair follicles and promoting healthier and bulkier hair growth. PRP treatment improves hair thickness and density, as well as helping to reduce hair loss.

Since this treatment uses the regenerative properties of the patient’s own platelets, PRP is a highly safe treatment with no risk of rejection and therefore widely used in various areas of medicine, given its proven effectiveness.

Eu tive um problema com queda de cabelo durante anos e tentei diversos tratamentos mas sem sucesso. Foi então que um amigo me recomendou a Capilart. Eles foram muito prestativos desde a minha primeira consulta até o pós-operatório, e agora eu sinto-me muito melhor. Recomendo fortemente a Capilart para qualquer pessoa que precise de um transplante capilar de qualidade.

FAQ

How does Hair PRP treatment work?

The treatment of PRP consists of the extraction of a portion of the patient's blood, highly concentrated in platelets. Platelets are rich in growth factors and have the ability to stimulate the regeneration of hair follicles. When injected directly into the scalp, platelets release growth factors that activate the stem cells present in the follicles, improving blood circulation and stimulating the production of new hair. This results in healthier hair growth and higher hair density.

What are the hair benefits of PRP treatment?

PRP treatment offers several benefits for hair, including stimulating hair growth, strengthening existing follicles, reducing hair loss, improving the texture and thickness of the strands. In addition, PRP is a non-surgical and safe treatment, using the patient's own blood, which reduces the risks of rejection or side effects.

How long does each PRP treatment session take?

The duration of each PRP treatment session can vary, but it usually takes about 30 minutes, including the time required for the preparation of the PRP and the administration of the injections into the scalp. Immediately after the administration of PRP, it is possible to resume normal living activities without any kind of restriction.

Is PRP treatment painful?

Treatment of PRP is generally well tolerated by patients. Before the injections, a local anaesthetic may be applied to minimize any discomfort. During the procedure, one may feel a feeling of pressure or stinging, but the pain is usually minimal. After treatment, some patients may experience some discomfort or tenderness in the scalp, which goes away quickly.

Is there a possibility of rejection of Capillary PRP?

Capillary PRP is obtained from the patient's own blood, which significantly reduces the risk of rejection or serious side effects. As PRP is autologous, that is, derived from the organism itself, the possibility of rejection is extremely low.

How often should hair PRP treatments be performed?

The frequency of treatment with Capillary PRP may vary according to the individual needs of each patient. An initial series of sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is generally recommended to stimulate hair growth. After this initial phase, maintenance sessions may be performed every 6 to 12 months, depending on the patient's response to treatment. It is important to discuss with the specialist doctor the optimal frequency to get the best results.

When do you notice the first results of PRP treatment?

The results of PRP treatment can vary from person to person. Usually, the first signs of improvement can be observed after a few weeks or months, just with one session. However, to get more meaningful and long-lasting results, several treatment sessions are recommended.

Is PRP treatment suitable for all types of hair loss?

PRP treatment can be beneficial for several types of hair loss, including androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium and other hair conditions. However, a specialized medical evaluation is essential to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific case.
