Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy For Hair Loss

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy For Women

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy for hair loss uses a woman’s blood as growth factor to promote new hair growth. One of the particular advantages of this therapy is that it is non surgical and non invasive. PRP therapy treatment for hair loss in women is often used in conjunction with hair transplant surgery in order to produce the most optimal results. The process itself involves three different steps in treatment.

 

 

The first step involves taking a small amount of blood from the patient that is then centrifuged. The portion of the blood sample that contains the most platelets is separated and stored, while the rest of the sample is discarded. One portion of the kept sample is lysed to promote the production of growth factors in the sample.

Next, the patient’s scalp is actively stimulated to promote the wound healing process. In Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for women, this is a necessary step, because it utilizes the growth factors and platelets that PRP therapy promotes. A product, called the ScalpRoller, is used to stimulate the process. It is necessary to create puncture wounds in the scalp to activate the healing process. The ScalpRoller contains 192 different titanium needles that all puncture the skin of the scalp at the same depth. It uses less pressure and causes less pain to the patient than the use of a single needle. Furthermore, it saves the surgeon more time overall in the PRP therapy treatment for hair loss in women.

The final step in Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for women is to inject the platelet rich blood sample into the scalp. The stimulated hair follicle cells use the growth factors that are contained within the sample. In clinical trials, PRP therapy for hair loss in women has been proven to generate new hair growth and to thicken existing hair growth. In one reported case, an alopecia patient was treated, and new hair growth was reported. PRP therapy for hair loss was only recently presented at an ISHRS conference within the last two years. As of yet, it is only available to a select group of patients. However, as further investigations are conducted into this new therapy regime, the treatment is expected to become available to the general public.

Product Recommendation

It is now possible to buy a scalp roller for your to continuous use at home. Nanogen ScalpRoller has been designed for this purpose and still features the titanium micro-needles to dramatically increase absorption of topical hair regrowth treatments. So if you are currently using products such as topical minoxidil, Rogaine or Propecia, the Nanogen Scalp Roller, it has been proven to increase absorption by 5 tines ormore, making the treatments even more effective by reducing the length of time it takes to see results!
