Many men and women suffer from hair loss and hair thinning, and as a result of damage to their self-confidence and body image, it is therefore important to treat the problem and not ignore it and neglect it, because it will not go away on its own.
There are many reasons for baldness, ranging from factors that we can influence, such as managing an unhealthy lifestyle that includes an insufficient amount of sleep, improper nutrition, or increased mental stress, to factors over which we have no control, such as the natural aging process and the genetic load of each of us .
There are many treatments for the problem, one of the most recommended, innovative and accepted treatments today is prp hair treatment. PRP treatment is a treatment in which the patient’s blood is taken, certain components of the plasma called the platelets, which are responsible for and linked to blood clotting, are distilled from it, and they are injected back into the scalp using a syringe or gun and help the blood flow in the scalp and encourage the regeneration and growth processes of the hair follicles. Many patients choose the recommendation of the leading experts in the field to combine prp treatment before and after hair transplantation.
When performing PRP treatment after a hair transplant, the goal is firstly to maximize the results of the hair transplant, and secondly to prevent further hair loss in areas of the scalp that have not yet gone bald at the time of the transplant and are expected to go bald later on due to the known genetics. For the purposes of maximizing results, preserving the existing hair and preventing future baldness, it is usually customary to combine drug treatment such as the use of drugs such as Propecia, Rogaine and Minoxidil as well as regular intake of vitamins such as dwarf palm, biotin and more.
Hair transplantation is an aesthetic surgery that aims to give the appearance of natural, dense and healthy hair to men and women suffering from baldness. During the surgery, hair follicles are taken from the back of the scalp, or from areas where there is no hair loss or fear of future hair loss, and these hair follicles are transferred to bald areas of the scalp where there is hair loss and increased hair thinning.
PRP treatment before hair transplantation will usually be performed for several main reasons. Sometimes the degree of baldness is not severe enough that the patient is currently not a suitable candidate and it is still not possible to perform a hair transplant, but on the other hand the hair loss bothers the patient and he wants to slow it down and postpone the transplant as much as possible. Reasons for this incompatibility, for example, may be too young age or limited financial ability that prevents the patient from undergoing a hair transplant.
The purpose of prp hair treatment is to prevent hair loss, thicken the existing hair follicles and encourage renewed hair growth. Many patients ask if it is recommended to do a PRP treatment after a hair transplant? The answer is absolutely! Many hair transplant clinics recommend PRP treatment as a complementary treatment after hair transplant. PRP hair treatment is suitable for men as well as women and must be performed by a doctor licensed by the Ministry of Health only.
