Hair loss causes low self esteem, anxiety, depression and even social withdrawal. The good news is that PRP hair treatment in Nairobi enables you to grow your hair and regain your self confidence.
Ahead, we have expounded on the benefits of PRP hair treatment as well as its potential risks and cost.
What Is PRP Hair Treatment?
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma.
Platelets are components of blood which contains growth factors.
Platelet rich plasma or PRP means plasma with a lot of platelets.
This platelet rich plasma is obtained from the blood of the person being treated for hair loss. A small amount of the person’s blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge. It is then spun and the components of the blood separate. This enables the PRP to be extracted from the blood.
The PRP is then introduced into the scalp by using a device which has micro-needles in a procedure known as microneedling.
The growth factors from the platelets then stimulate the hair follicles and this results in hair growth.
PRP Hair Treatment In Nairobi Benefits
PRP has the following numerous benefits:
*It has been proven effective for treating hair loss. A study found that it was effective treatment for patients with androgenic alopecia (AGA) which is also known as male pattern baldness. In this study men who had not responded to medications like minoxidil and finasteride received PRP in their scalps and their hair count increased.
*PRP therapy results in hair that is thicker, stronger and denser as the growth factors stimulate the hair follicles.
*It is a natural therapy which utilizes substances from your own blood to treat hair loss.
*It is a quick procedure as the entire process takes around 1 hour.
*PRP hair therapy has no downtime as the person can return to their normal activities after the procedure. This is unlike hair transplant which has downtime of 1-2 weeks.
*It is cheaper than getting a hair transplant.
These 6 benefits make PRP therapy worth the money.
PRP Risks
PRP is considered very safe since it is obtained from the client’s own blood. This fact reduces the risk of allergic reactions to almost nil.
However, PRP may be associated with some pain on the scalp. This pain is minimized by the application of numbing cream like we do at the Almasi Hair Clinic in Nairobi Kenya.
