Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an exciting new technology that encourages hair growth and stimulation. It is a natural solution that utilizes your own platelets for treatment, hence, no side effects at all! We have been performing PRP therapy as a proactive therapeutic option for male and female patients experiencing hair loss.
Platelet rich plasma is concentrated blood plasma which contains 3-5 times the number of platelets found in normal circulatory blood. It contains various growth factors and bio active proteins that aid in hair growth in male and female hair loss.

The plasma contain growth factors which have significant positive effects on hair growth. The platelet growth factors:
• Activates hair stem cells leading to hair production
• Gives strength to the existing hair
• Reverses hair miniaturization
• Reduces hair loss
• Increase the actual number and quality of hairs
PRP is safe and natural because the procedure concentrates the good cells from your own body directly back into the area where it is needed. There is absolutely no chance of getting an infection from another human being. The injections prove their benefits quite remarkably within a month of the injection being given.
