There are hair transplantation clinics all
over the world, including in Turkey. These clinics can help to treat you even
if you do not yet need or want a hair transplant done. The PRP or platelet rich plasma treatment can
be done instead of or along with a hair transplant procedure. This is a method
that is available in many clinics and can be done to treat thinning hair and
where there is minimal hair loss. PRP is a non-surgical treatment which is
designed so as to help stimulate the hair to grow. This is also an excellent
option for those patients who have recently had the FUE transplant.

Some experts may recommend you have the PRP
treatment every three or four months. Some doctors also recommend PRP if you
suffer side effects of other hair loss products such as minoxidil.
How PRP is done
Human blood is a rich source of nutrients as
well as platelets, stem cells and growth factors. The idea is to extract blood
plasma which has a lot of the platelets present.
Blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge.
This is a special machine that spins very fast so that molecules of different
size and weights can be easily separated from each other. In this way the
platelets can be easily removed from the red blood cells that are also found in
the plasma.
The remaining platelet-rich plasma is then
injected into the scalp where it stimulates the stem cells around the hair
follicles. Scientists have found compelling evidence that stem cells can and do
help the regrowth of hair follicles.
The PRP works to stimulate inactive hair
follicles and those that have just been grafted into place. Several growth
factors are produced from the PRP including platelet growth factor and
fibroblast growth factor among others.
These growth factors all help to repair
damaged tissues and stimulate the growth of the skin and its tissues, including
hair follicles.
Who can’t have PRP?
Most people are good candidates for the
procedure. However, there are exceptions, for instance, people who have
infections, problems with blood clots and blood disorders such as
thrombocytopenia should not have the procedure done.
It is also not recommended if you are a heavy
smoker and drinker or take drugs. You should also check with your doctor if you
are taking prescription medications that could potentially interfere with the
treatment.
Should you have a PRP with a Turkey hair
transplant?
The decision is ultimately up to you as to if
you want to do this procedure instead of or in addition to a hair transplant
such as the FUE. There are clinics in Turkey, such as the Vera Clinic that
offer PRP therapy instead of and in conjunction with a FUE hair transplant
procedure. Click here for further information.
It is important, though, that you are in good
health before getting the PRP procedure. This is to reduce the chance of
complications and increase the odds of the procedure working well.
Platelet rich plasma or PRP Therapy is an advanced treatment that can be used for skin rejuvenation and hair growth. It is a safe, short, simple, and effective option which is providing you the natural results.
