PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is the application of plasma obtained from your own blood to the scalp. Mesotherapy delivers vitamin and nutrient mixtures to the scalp through micro-injections.
How are they done?
- For PRP, a small amount of blood is taken and processed in a centrifuge.
- The resulting plasma is applied to the scalp with fine needles.
- The procedure is short; mild redness and tenderness can follow.
What are they used for?
They are chosen as supportive treatment in early thinning or to support the scalp after a hair transplant. The effect varies from person to person and several sessions are usually advised.
Expectations
PRP and mesotherapy do not bring back lost hair follicles and do not replace a transplant on their own. Your physician decides whether they suit you.
