What is PRP?

PRP stands for "Platelet Rich Plasma", meaning platelet-rich plasma. In the PRP hair loss method, your own blood plasma is used to deliver important growth factors directly to the hair root. Through this targeted stimulation, hair growth can be sustainably promoted and hair loss can be stopped.

How does the PRP method work?

  1. Blood collection: At the beginning, a small amount of blood is taken, similar to a routine blood test.
  2. Preparation: The collected blood is processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
  3. Injection: The obtained plasma is then injected into the affected scalp areas. Here it unfolds its regenerative effect and supports hair growth.

Advantages of PRP treatment

  • Natural therapy: Since only the body's own substances are used, the procedure is very well tolerated.
  • Targeted effect: The PRP hair growth treatment works directly at the hair root, where it promotes regeneration and can specifically treat hair loss.
  • Quick recovery: The treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and allows for an immediate return to everyday life.

Home remedies for hair loss

Although home remedies do not replace professional treatments like PRP, they can have a supportive effect:

  1. Scalp Massages: Regular massages promote blood circulation and can support hair growth.
  2. Nutrition: A balanced diet with sufficient vitamins and minerals is important for strong and healthy hair.
  3. Essential Oils: Rosemary or peppermint oil can be used as an addition in shampoos or hair masks to stimulate the scalp.
  4. Aloe Vera: The gel from the aloe plant provides moisture and can soothe irritated scalp.

Please note that these home remedies do not offer scientifically proven healing effects and it is always advisable to seek medical advice for persistent hair loss.

Frequently Asked Questions about PRP for Hair Loss

What should I consider before a PRP treatment for the hair?
  • Abstaining from certain medications: Blood-thinning agents (e.g., Aspirin, Ibuprofen) can increase the risk of hematomas. Therefore, be sure to consult with your doctor in advance about whether and when you should stop taking blood-thinning medications.
  • No alcohol or nicotine intake before the treatment: It is recommended to avoid alcohol and cigarettes for at least 24 hours before the PRP session, as both can impair circulation and thus the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Hair washing: Wash your hair on the day of the treatment or the evening before, so that the scalp is free from styling products.
  • Drink plenty: Good hydration supports the quality of your blood and can contribute to the effectiveness of the PRP treatment.
