What is PRP treatment for hair loss?

PRP treatment for hair loss is a cosmetic procedure that helps to restore hair growth that has been lost due to hormonal or genetic issues. A blood sample is collected from the patient, processed and separated from red blood cells, and platelet-rich plasma is injected into the scalp.

The theory behind this treatment is that platelets injected deep into the scalp to reach the roots of hair follicles may stimulate specialized hair growth cells known as dermal papilla cells.

Key Facts About PRP Treatment

In our discussion of the difference between hair transplantation and PRP treatment, now that we've covered "What is PRP treatment?" Let us take a moment to review what you should know about PRP treatment and its potential benefits for improving hair quality and density.

Benefits of PRP Injections

Some of the benefits of PRP injections for hair loss include:

• This is a simple procedure that does not require local anesthesia.
• Reduces the time it takes for hair to grow, which helps to increase hair shaft thickness and stimulate hair growth.
• It has almost no side effects and does not cause allergies because the platelets injected are obtained from the patient himself.

Drawbacks of PRP Treatment

Some of the drawbacks of PRP hair injections include:

• It may take several sessions to complete the treatment, which can be inconvenient for those who prefer immediate results in fewer sessions.

Hair Transplantation with DHI Technique

Hair transplantation methods have expanded, and in this article, we will discuss the most recent technique in the world of hair transplantation, DHI direct hair transplantation, which uses a Choi implant pen, a specialized tool that performs extraction and planting operations directly. 

This pen is used to extract hair follicles from the donor area and place them directly in the area of hair loss, which distinguishes "direct hair transplantation."
