Why is the PRP method used in hair?

Apart from this, the PRP method is normally used together with all types of hair transplants, in order to maximize surgery outcomes. This method promotes the healing of patients’ scalp, positively influencing the growth and development of implanted hair follicles.
The use of the PRP method, together with FUE hair transplantation, allows the hair tissue to regenerate more rapidly, increasing the growth phase of the hair follicles which remain longer. This way, new blood vessels are generated in the receiving region which promote adequate nourishment of the implanted follicles.

This treatment must be done several times, according to the indications of the team of hair transplant specialists.
