Comprehensive PRP Treatment in Lucknow for Hair Restoration


To understand how PRP works, it is important to know platelets' role in healing.

Platelets and white and red blood cells are blood components. When an individual sustains a cut or wound, the platelets exist as some of the body's "first responders" that reach to control the bleeding and promote healing.

Experimenters theorized that if they could extract concentrated platelets and inject them into damaged parts of the body, they could accelerate healing.

To produce PRP, a medical professional will collect blood and put it into a centrifuge machine. This machine spins rapidly, which splits the components of the blood. The medical professional then extracts the platelets-rich plasma for injection.

PRP contains growth factors and proteins that quicken tissue repair. As some kinds of hair loss result from injury to hair follicles, researchers originally hypothesized that PRP could help regrow hair by changing the process in androgenetic alopecia.

Since then, PRP has evolved into a popular method of restoring hair growth. In addition, Skin Specialist in Lucknow have also used PRP Treatment in Lucknow to treat damages to the tendons, muscles, and ligaments, such as those that individuals sustain during sporting activities.

What is PRP

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy for hair loss is a three-step medical treatment in which your blood is extracted, processed, and then injected into the affected area of the scalp.

PRP injections trigger natural hair growth and maintain it by increasing blood supply to the hair follicle and the hair shaft's thickness. Sometimes this approach is combined with other hair loss procedures or medications.

PRP therapy has been used since the 1980s. PRP is used to heal injured tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

The steps involved in PRP therapy are:

Step 1: Collect the patient's blood. Less than two ounces (between 15 to 50 millilitres) is required for the procedure. The collection is virtually identical to the therapy process of giving blood for a blood test, with a collection needle inserted into a vein in the arm and the blood captured in a small vial.

Step 2: Centrifuge the blood and collect the platelets. A centrifuge is a machine that spins at high speeds. This movement physically divides the solid and liquid components of the blood: red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes), and plasma (liquid).
Regular blood contains about 200,000 platelets per millilitre, while platelet-rich plasma contains as much as five times that amount. The resulting three to seven millilitres of platelet-rich plasma will be collected in a syringe & injected immediately.

Step 3: Inject the PRP into the desired site. The final syringe of platelet-rich plasma will contain approximately 1-2 teaspoons of fluid. With the guidance of an ultrasound probe, the PRP will guide you to the proper location based on the nature of the injury treated.

Dos and Don’ts for PRP Injections

You need to take specific steps before and after the treatment. The same is true of things you should avoid doing if you want to see results and reduce the likelihood of suffering from adverse effects.

Pre-Procedure Dos

Hairs should be shampooed and conditioned before the process. It is clean and free of grease and dirt particles this way. Before the injections, it creates a sterile environment on your scalp.

Drink at least 16 ounces of water and have a healthy breakfast. You won't likely feel queasy, lightheaded, or dizzy this way. However, be mindful that dermatologists will extract blood. So you should eat something before going if getting that done on an empty stomach makes you queasy.

Post-Procedure Dos

Go back to your routine. It would help if you didn't experience disability or discomfort after receiving PRP injections. Unlike other operations, you shouldn't feel sleepy or worn out after this one.

Wash your hair unless the injection location is particularly sore or uncomfortable.

Pre-Procedure Don'ts

Before getting your PRP injections, wait at least three days before using any hair products like gel or hairspray. You may get adverse effects later on as a result of this.

If possible, avoid heavy drinking or smoking before an event. As a result, you could not be eligible for the operation since your platelet count will be much lower.

Post-Procedure Don'ts

For at least 72 hours following the PRP injections, avoid getting your hair coloured or permed. The abrasive chemicals will irritate the injection site and may result in problems. It also makes scalp pain worse.

Risks Of PRP Therapy For Hair Loss

The enriched plasma was created using the patient's blood. Therefore an allergic reaction is possible. The PRP is composed primarily of white blood cells, the body's natural defence mechanism against allergens. As a result, there is an incredibly little probability of infection.
