PRP for Hair and Eyebrows
Operation Description
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment, known as the "vampire treatment," was initially used in surgery and orthopedics to accelerate tissue healing. Subsequently, this treatment found application in aesthetic dermatology for skin and hair care. The process resembles mesotherapy, but instead of a mesotherapy cocktail, the patient's blood plasma rich in platelets is used.
PRP Hair Treatment
Platelets are blood cells crucial for the healing process, containing growth factors and proteins that stimulate natural skin renewal and healing. It is thought that by injecting PRP serum into the hair follicles, weakened or inactive follicles will be stimulated and activated. The ultimate goal is hair growth in thinned areas and an improvement in hair quality and thickness. In addition to hair, PRP treatment is also used to promote hair growth in the eyebrow area.

Candidates
PRP hair treatment can benefit anyone looking to improve hair quality and stimulate new hair growth in areas that have become thin. Ideal candidates may include:
- Individuals experiencing hair thinning due to various factors
- Those noticing increased hair loss and deteriorating hair quality
- Individuals diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia
- Women after childbirth or during menopause, periods associated with sudden hair loss
- Individuals who have undergone hair transplantation
- Those who prefer not to use synthetic hair products
- Individuals seeking a natural and minimally invasive way to stimulate faster hair growth
Preparation
Preparation for PRP hair and eyebrow treatment does not require any special activities. The evening or morning before the treatment, it is necessary to thoroughly wash the hair and avoid using any hair gels or sprays. It is also advisable to refrain from using anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or aspirin a few days before treatment, as they can affect blood platelet levels.
Operation time
The PRP treatment begins by drawing blood from the patient's vein. Afterward, the blood goes through a centrifuge, during which platelets are separated. The obtained PRP serum is injected into the scalp using a fine needle. The serum will nourish the hair follicles and stimulate the scalp, enhancing circulation. The PRP treatment takes about an hour.
When Are the Results of PRP Treatment Visible?
Hair growth is a gradual process, so the first results, such as improved hair quality, increased hair thickness, and the appearance of new follicles, will be noticeable approximately two weeks after the treatment. The growth of new hair will be visible over the next 3 to 6 months.
PRP Eyebrows
Similar to hair, eyebrows may thin over the years, or small gaps may appear where hair does not grow. Plasma treatment can also be performed on the eyebrow region to stimulate follicles, aiming to promote the growth of missing hairs and give eyebrows a denser appearance. The entire procedure is the same as PRP for hair, and results will become noticeable after 3 to 4 weeks. Like hair, it is necessary to undergo several PRP eyebrow treatments for better and longer-lasting results.
Recovery
Patients can return to their daily activities after PRP treatment. For two days after the treatment, it is advised to avoid intense physical activity, swimming, sauna, excessive sun exposure, and using less aggressive shampoos. What also should not be used are aggressive hair products, sprays, hair lacquers, or other styling products for some time until the scalp has recovered. Hair washing is not recommended in the first 24 hours after treatment.
Safety precautions
As PRP treatment involves the use of micro-needles, minor bruising from needle punctures, redness, and a sensation of mild swelling may occur afterward. There might be a slight tightening, tingling, and sensitivity of the scalp. These side effects will subside in the next two days. Severe swelling, bruising, and infections are very rare. If PRP treatment is performed by doctors trained for such procedures, as is the case at Colić Hospital, and if the patient follows all pre and post-treatment skincare instructions, serious complications can be avoided.
