PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Low Energy
PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Low Energy refers to a specific method of administering platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair loss. Platelet-rich plasma is a substance derived from a person’s own blood that contains a concentrated amount of platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins.
In the Low Energy technique, the process involves the following steps:
Blood Collection: A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient, typically from the arm, similar to a routine blood test.
Centrifugation: The collected blood sample is then processed in a centrifuge machine. The centrifuge separates the blood into its different components based on density. This process helps isolate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components.
3. Activation: Once the platelet-rich plasma is obtained, it may be activated using a low-energy method. Activation can involve the addition of calcium chloride or other substances to stimulate the release of growth factors from the platelets
4. Injection: The activated platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas of hair loss or thinning. The injections are usually performed using fine needles or a specialized injector device.
The goal of PRP Low Energy therapy is to harness the growth factors and other bioactive substances present in platelet-rich plasma to stimulate hair growth, improve hair thickness, and prolong the hair growth cycle. The growth factors in the PRP are believed to promote cell growth, enhance blood supply to the hair follicles, and reduce inflammation.
PRP Low Energy therapy is typically performed as a series of treatments, with each session spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions and the specific treatment protocol may vary depending on the individual and the severity of hair loss.
It’s important to note that while PRP Low Energy therapy has shown promising results for some individuals, its effectiveness may vary, and it may not work for everyone. It’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist or hair specialist to determine if PRP therapy is a suitable treatment option for your specific hair loss condition and to discuss the potential benefits and limitations of the procedure.
