What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma is a regenerative medicine that uses a concentrated form of the patient's own blood to stimulate the healing of different skin injuries and wounds.

‍

The treatment process involves drawing a small amount of blood and then using a centrifuge to separate the platelets from other blood components. And then, the resulting plasma, rich in platelets, is injected into the targeted area, such as the skin, joints, or scalp.

‍

PRP is very common in aesthetic treatments to rejuvenate the skin, treat hair loss, and accelerate the healing of injuries.

‍

PRP, Stem Cell injection, What's The Difference?

The most obvious difference between PRP and stem cells lies in the components of these two therapies. PRP, as we indicated earlier, comes from blood plasma, while stem cells come mainly from bone marrow and fat cells.

‍

Another key difference between these two treatments is the source of blood. In fact, Platelet-rich plasma uses a blood sample of the patient himself, whereas stem cells can sometimes come from a donor.

‍

The role of Platelets is to boost the healing process and not replace the damaged blood cells. On the other hand, stem cell injection aims to replace cells you've lost directly.

‍

Is PRP Effective for Hair Loss?

For sure! PRP is a very effective treatment when it comes to preventing hair loss and hair thinning. Not only that! It also works to regrow hair, particularly in cases of androgenetic alopecia.

‍

PRP is very rich in growth factors, which will stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase and promote hair regrowth at the injection site. Because PRP uses the patient's own blood, it's a very safe approach with minimal risk of allergic reactions or complications.

PRP Hair Treatment Cost in Qatar

Microneedling With PRP Benefits

For those who don't know, It's very common for dermatologists to use Microneedling with PRP; it's also referred to as "vampire facial." Which combines the benefits of microneedling with the regenerative properties of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

‍

Microneedling with PRP comes with several benefits for the skin, and here are the most common ones:

‍

• Boosts collagen production even more.
• Improves skin texture and tone
• Ensures a shorter recovery time and more efficient healing.
• Significantly reduces the appearance of popular skin conditions like hyperpigmentation, sun damage, large pores, stretch marks, etc.
• Offers long-lasting and consistent results.
• It's considered a safe and natural option with little to no downtime.

PRP How Long Does it Last?

The duration of Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment results can vary depending on the type of treatment, the area being treated, and individual factors like age, health, and lifestyle. Here's a general overview of how long PRP results can last in different applications:

‍

• Hair Loss Treatment: 12 to 18 months; maintenance is required every 4 to 6 months.
• Skin Rejuvenation: 6 to 12 months; touch-ups are recommended once or twice a year.
• Joint Injuries: 6 to 12 months; repeat injections may be needed annually.

‍

Precautions After PRP injection

After undergoing a PRP treatment, there is little to no downtime, but it's always necessary to take some precautions to achieve optimal outcomes. Here are some guidelines you have to follow after the injection:

‍

• Avoid rubbing or touching the injected area after the treatment for around 12 hours.
• Don't apply ice or heat for at least 72 hours after the procedure.
• Avoid having a shower or swimming after the treatment.
• Stay hydrated and consume healthy food.
• Stay away from smoking or consuming alcohol, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
• Postpone any physical activity or exercise for at least two days post-treatment.

‍
