Hair loss treatment with PRP

Autohaemotherapy against hair loss

Shiny, full head of hair symbolises health and vitality. For women, long, strong hair is a sign of femininity and a youthful appearance. For men, too, the splendour of hair is a sign of youthful vitality. Severe hair loss causes bald areas to form on the scalp. If the phenomenon worsens, those affected avoid contact with their fellow men. They are ashamed of the external blemish. Before the treatment with platelet-rich blood plasma begins, dermatologists at Dermacare clarify the possible causes of hair loss by means of a blood test.

What to do against hair loss?

Human hair normally goes through several growth cycles. In the process, up to 100 hairs fall out in one day. The hair roots form new hair, so that the loss usually has no visible consequences. For example, infections or the intake of medication lead to a permanent loss of hair. A lack of nutrients and the normal aging process also cause the loss of the main hair. Men tend to have receding hairline and a bald forehead. Female patients have thin hair which thins out more and more.

Excessive hair loss is mainly a cosmetic problem. In the worst case, it can also lead to psychological disorders of the affected persons. They withdraw from society and often develop depression. What to do against hair loss? An effective remedy for hair loss is treatment with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). The abbreviation refers to the body’s own blood plasma, which contains numerous platelets. They have growth hormones that have a positive effect on cell production.

How does the autohaemotherapy against hair loss work?

In autohaemotherapy (PRP therapy or autohaemotherapy with plasma), the patient’s own blood is taken and blood plasma is extracted from it using a special procedure. In platelet-rich plasma (PRP), at least eight growth factors, thrombin or stem cells are highly concentrated and have a rejuvenating effect on the hair roots. They lead to a natural regeneration of the cells, which in turn stimulates hair growth. The body’s own growth hormones in the blood plasma play an essential role in this process.

Before the actual therapy, blood is taken from the patient and then medically prepared. During the process, the white blood components are separated from the red ones. The plasma is then injected into the scalp of the patient. The autohaemotherapy results in a strengthening of the hair roots. This prevents the permanent loss of scalp hair. It therefore prevents bald spots. In addition, the regrowing hair looks stronger and healthier. Due to the fullness of the hair, the patients appear rejuvenated and self-confident.

The treatment with the platelet-rich plasma ensures long-term success. Usually one session is not enough to stop the hair loss completely. The physicians recommend three autologous blood treatments at intervals of one month each. After that, a refresher treatment should be carried out one year later.
