Injections of hair plasma are the most effective treatment for genetic baldness and hair loss. It is a technique that uses blood plasma to renew cells and stimulate collagen production, allowing hair to regrow.
Plasma injection technology for hair
The hair plasma injection technique involves drawing blood from the patient, treating it in a specific way to extract plasma rich in protein and platelets, and then reinjecting it into the scalp's middle skin layer to stimulate hair growth.
How to conduct plasma hair sessions
During hair plasma injection, there are three major steps that occur:
Drawing a blood sample from the patient
A sterile syringe is used to draw blood from the patient's arm, which is then placed in a tube with specific instructions.
Blood samples are separated and processed.
The blood tube is centrifuged for 10 minutes at high speed, followed by 5 minutes at low speed.
Inside the device, blood is separated into three layers:
- The upper layer is platelet-poor plasma.
- The middle layer, rich in platelets.
- The lower layer, which are red blood cells.
The doctor separates the plasma-rich layer with a separate tube, and sometimes it is treated by adding some vitamins that help hair growth.
Plasma injection into the scalp
The doctor injects the local anesthetic into the specific areas of the scalp so that the patient does not feel pain during the procedure.
Platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp, targeting the middle layer of the skin.
How many plasma sessions does hair need?
The patient usually requires three sessions, with a 4-6 week interval between each, and the sessions must be repeated every 4 or 6 months to ensure continued healthy hair growth. Visible outcomes typically occur three to six months following the final session.
