To understand how PRP works, it is important to be aware of the role that platelets play in healing.Platelets are a component of blood, along with red and white blood cells. When a person sustains a cut or wound, the platelets are some of the body’s “first responders” that arrive to stop the bleeding and promote healing.Researchers theorized that if they could extract concentrated platelets and inject them into damaged areas of the body, they could accelerate healing.To produce PRP, a medical professional will take a blood sample and put it into a machine called a centrifuge. This machine spins at a rapid rate, which separates the components of the blood. The medical professional then extracts the platelets for injection.PRP contains a range of growth factors and proteins that speed tissue repair. As some types of hair loss result from damage to hair follicles, researchers initially hypothesized that PRP could help regrow hair by reversing the process that occurs in androgenetic alopecia. Since then, PRP has become a popular method of restoring hair growth.
The following steps are an example of a common approach to PRP injections for hair loss:
The entire process may take about 1 hour, and several sessions may be necessary. After receiving PRP treatment, a person can usually return to their regular activities without any limitations.
What Is The Total Count Of Hair On The Human Scalp?
At an approximate rate, healthy hair in a human grows at 0.35 mm/day [1]. And, the terminal count of hair on a human scalp ranges from 80,000 to 120,000.
The growth of hair starts in a hair follicle. The follicles receive essential nutrients from the blood vessels connected to their base. From the beginning of growth to falling out, your hair undergoes four stages: anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen .
"At any given time, around 90% of your hair is in a growing phase while the other 10% is in the resting phase,".
When your hair goes through the anagen phase for a reasonable duration and then gradually reaches the exogen phase, it is considered to be normal hair fall. Every day, around 50-100 hair strands may reach the exogen phase and shed off naturally.
However, as you grow old, the duration of the anagen phase keeps decreasing naturally with each cycle, which we can correlate with the Ayurvedic concept of normal hair fall growth cycle of hair.
Around 70% of men may experience hair loss in their lifetime, while that is observed to be only 40% in women. Men are more prone to androgenic alopecia , which can be inherited genetically. It is the hair loss caused by Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hormones in men. DHT hormones, which are synthesized from testosterone, block the blood vessels in hair follicles, and stop the nutrient supply for hair growth. This eventually leads to follicle shrinkage and hair loss.
Even women may experience DHT hair loss, but not as heavily as men because of their different genetic disposition. However, women experience increased hair fall during events such as pregnancy and menopause. Sometimes, postpartum hair loss can last as long as a year in new moms. In men, hair loss can be noticed as thinning scalp hair, receding hairline, and sometimes as a horseshoe-shaped pattern with the crown exposed. In women, we observe hair loss as general hair thinning (especially at the crown region).
Did you know it is absolutely normal to have hair fall? Yes! Indeed hair fall is a natural phenomenon that occurs in your body. While a new hair grows in the follicle, the old hair must vacate it.
All hair goes through a natural cycle of growth, rest and fall, much like the leaves of the trees. As seasons dictate the leaf’s fate, our hair growth is dependent on our Ayurvedic Prakriti (genetics), age, nutrition, metabolism, and lifestyle.
Hair mesotherapy is a medical practice which has been approved by FDA and of which results are significantly effective. Men and women who realize that their hair is thinning rapidly, can have healthier hair by feeding their hair with this method. In the hair mesotherapy method, microinjection is performed in minimal dosages from the middle part of hair skin through using very fine-tipped needles.
Through microinjection, the dermis layer, which is the functional layer of the skin, is stimulated and the minerals, oligelement, vitamins and regulators required by the hair root are given to the tissue. The procedure is applied locally and this practice may be performed to everyone, regardless of gender or age.
Hair mesotherapy method is applied locally and gives high qualified results. It can be applied to different areas by selecting only the desired areas. While the shedding area is stimulated, hair roots are also positively affected by this practice. Another advantage is that, the practice is completed in few sessions. In many practices, people recognize the positive results even in the first session. Drugs applied in low cost hair mesotherapy are applied by physician
