PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy is new and exciting, non-surgical concept of regenerative medicine to stimulate hair growth in a natural way. PRP for hair loss is a simple, 3-step medical treatment in which a person's blood is drawn from his vein, processed and then injected into the scalp.

It is also referred to as 'Vampire' or 'Dracula' therapy; as it involves re-injection of one's own blood into one's own body part to be treated (but after processing).

What is PRP hair treatment?

---

The primary purpose of using PRP in hair restoration is to stimulate inactive or newly implanted hair follicles into an active growth phase as PRP contains many growth factors essential for hair growth such as Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF).

PRP therapy for hair treatment is getting huge popularity in India and world over as it's a very simple 30-minutes procedure which delivers quick and promising results; and without any considerable side-effects.

It works best

• in patients with diffuse thinning who tend to lose hair all over their scalp.
• in persons with miniaturized hair where hair become very thin and weak and start falling even on gentle rubbing/combing.

PRP triggers hair growth by increasing blood supply to the hair shaft and in turn increasing the length and thickness of hair shaft along with causing new hair growth.

However, the patients who have permanent baldness over their head (where hair roots are completely damaged), require hair transplant as PRP therapy alone can't bring the desired results in such patients. But in these cases also, PRP therapy has a definite role when used in combination with hair transplant (pre-operatively, intra-operatively, or post-operatively). As it not only helps in healthier and faster growth of transplanted hair, but also provides nutrition and stimulates the growth of existing thinning hair at the same time, thus improving the overall results of hair transplant.

Aura has introduced this revolutionary and innovative, non surgical hair restoration therapy. Initially the benefits of PRP therapy were considered ‘only theoretical', but now there is enough research and evidence to believe that PRP does work for hair loss and is a safe and effective way of reversing hair loss and stimulating new hair growth. And that's why it is gaining immense popularity worldwide and more and more people are opting for this wonderful treatment.

In a study from many institutes on more than 100 patients, we found that PRP worked like an elixir for hair regrowth of new as well as dormant hair follicles.
