Going through hair loss is troubling! But you are not alone, as it is a common problem faced by many men and women across all age groups. To speak scientifically, hair loss and thinning occur due to a number of causes such as genetics, stressful life, certain medical conditions, hormonal changes, and so on. And one of the most common types of hair loss observed in both males and females is Androgenic alopecia or pattern alopecia. 

There are seemingly a lot of treatments for hair loss with varying levels of success rates and reliability. But there are just some treatments that are more scientifically backed than others. One such treatment is platelet-rich plasma therapy for hair, also known as Hair PRP. But what if we tell you this treatment not only addresses hair loss issues but can also stimulate hair growth? 

Introducing a minimally invasive and 100% expert-led Hair PRP with Growth Factor Concentrate (Hair PRP GFC) Treatment at Kaya! Intrigued much? Let us take you through all the details you need to know about this hair PRP treatment!

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy is a medical treatment wherein the patient’s blood is drawn, medically processed, and then extracted plasma is injected into the scalp. PRPs have a strong medical history, for they have been used since the 1980s. What makes PRP an ideal choice for hair loss treatment is the fact that it is concentrated blood plasma that contains around 3-5 times the number of platelets found in the normal circulating blood. In addition, the PRP contains platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), and other bioactive proteins which aid in the healing process and stimulate hair regrowth! 

This plasma therapy for hair is advanced, minimally invasive, and a therapeutic procedure to treat hair loss conditions in patients who require hair growth stimulation too. To sum up, it is primarily used for arresting hair fall, enhancing the quality of existing hair, and stimulating new hair growth if viable hair follicles are present.

The process of plasma hair treatment with growth factor concentrate can be broken down into the following easy steps -

Step 1 – Drawing Blood from the body

Your blood is drawn through routine blood testing, typically from your arm.

Step 2 – Drawn blood is placed for 35 to 45 minutes in a specific test tube with GFC already in an upright position.

Step 3 – Centrifuging the drawn blood

The drawn blood in GFC tubes is then put into a centrifuge, a machine that spins rapidly, to separate fluids of different densities. This process results in your blood being separated into three layers:

• platelet-poor plasma
• platelet-rich plasma
• red blood cells

As a result, we only take the plasma rich in platelets and growth factors as they are useful in tissue regeneration and healing. And the system eliminates granulocytes which may hurt tissue regeneration and wound healing. 

Step 4 – Preparing the scalp

The concentrated PRP has to be injected into the scalp, where plasma treatment for hair loss is required. So, it is important to prepare the scalp to receive the PRP. For this, the scalp needs to be stimulated to activate the wound-healing process. Hence topical anaesthesia is applied on the portion of the scalp where PRP injection for hair loss will be used.

Step 5 – Injecting hair PRP

The platelet-rich plasma with GFC is drawn into a syringe and injected into areas of the scalp that need the treatment.

At Kaya, we offer a specialised Hair PRP with growth factor treatment, where we not only help to arrest hair loss but also stimulate hair growth if there are viable hair follicles present. We help you feel confident about your hair and fall in love with them all over again!

The Hair PRP GFC treatment helps treat hair loss conditions, typically Androgenic Alopecia or Pattern baldness, which is common in males and females. Moreover, the platelet-derived growth factor and the other bioactive ingredients help to stimulate hair growth if there are any viable hair follicles present.

Anyone suffering from patterned hair loss or Androgenetic Alopecia can opt for plasma therapy for hair. Your Dermatologists may recommend this treatment after completing a thorough diagnosis, going through your medical history, and conducting a trichoscopy. However, the minimum age for this treatment is 18 years.
