PRP Hair Treatment?
Platelets are one of the 4 constituents of blood, the rest being the White Blood Cells (WBC), Red Blood Cells (RBC) and Plasma. The simple understanding of a layman is his knowledge of platelet function in blood clotting during an injury. This is true because of its composition of 30 biologically active proteins which help it in this task and in tissue healing.
PRP Hair Treatment has been used over the years in dermatological practice, trichology and aesthetics because of the fundamental role of platelets in wound healing. This healing ability is made possible because of the 7 fundamental protein growth factors that are actively secreted by platelets which initiate the wound healing process.
Platelet Rich Plasma Hair Treatment uses fresh blood samples obtained at the time of treatment. Blood is drawn with the inclusion of an anticoagulant to prevent platelet activation before use. The blood drawn through venepuncture by a phlebotomist is subjected to differential centrifugation to separate the red blood cells, white blood cells and the final platelets which are suspended in the top plasma volume. The supernatant plasma contains a high platelet count which is then transferred into another sterile tube and used for the PRP procedure.
