PRP hair therapy - side effects

Trichologists note that more than 60% of men and about 40% of women suffer from excessive hair loss. This figure increases with age. And then many people begin to look for various ways to restore thick hair: they buy supposedly miraculous shampoos, rub in various products, and sign up for a bunch of cosmetic procedures. And sometimes they don't think about the fact that some of these methods will not bring any result, and some have many side effects.

Our beauty salon offers PRP therapy to restore hair health and stop the excessive hair loss process. The benefits of prp hair treatment are that it’s effective and has almost no hair side effects.

What is PRP therapy?

PRP hair treatment is a procedure that consists of injecting the client's blood plasma enriched with platelets. Plasma is injected into the scalp, which improves the nutrition of hair follicles, strengthens blood vessels, and triggers hair growth factors. This treatment method restores natural regeneration processes and improves the condition of the scalp with almost no side effects. Excessive hair loss stops, the hair becomes thick and healthy.
PRP therapy is prescribed if:
  • hair loss is severe, including in men with androgenetic alopecia;
  • hair is thin, brittle, split ends;
  • hair grow very slowly;
  • the scalp is inflamed, dry or oily.
The specialists of our beauty salon recommend PRP therapy before nano extensions, correction of hair extensions, or keratin straightening if the hair is too thin and exhausted.

PRP hair treatment side effects

Plasma therapy is usually very well tolerated. Side effects include:
  • temporary reactions after the procedure. Redness at the injection sites, swelling, mild discomfort or pain, if any, will disappear in a few days;
  • formation of hematomas. Some people may experience small hematomas during injection procedures, which disappear over time;
  • Allergic reactions don’t occur at all, as PRP therapy uses the client's own blood. The body doesn’t need to adapt to the injected substance.
To avoid infections during PRP injections, it’s important to choose a beauty salon that complies with all hygiene and safety standards. In our beauty salon, we use only sterile equipment and disposable syringes.

Hair care after PRP therapy

In order, to minimize after prp treatment for hair side effects, you should follow a few simple rules:
  • don’t wash your hair for at least a day after the treatment to give the plasma time to work;
  • don’t visit saunas, baths, solariums, don’t take too hot a shower in the first days after the treatment session;
  • comb your hair carefully so as not to injure the scalp;
  • avoid physical activity and vigorous exercise for several days to avoid the risk of inflammation at the injection sites;
  • use hair products without aggressive chemical components after PRP therapy, as this will reduce side effects hair, so hair will start to recover faster;
  • maintain a healthy diet and drinking regime.
Hair care after the procedure is no less important than the therapy itself.

The benefits of prp for hair are noticeable after two sessions. Hair becomes shiny and healthy-looking. The number of hairs that fall out every day is reduced. And new ones grow faster, are stronger and more elastic. In general, it’s recommended to conduct 5-7 sessions every 10-14 days. The result of the treatment lasts for several years.
