PRP THERAPY

PRP therapy, or platelet-rich plasma therapy, is a treatment for hair loss that uses the patient's own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate tissue healing and improve skin, hair, and joint health.

Typical reactions may occur at the injection sites after PRP therapy, such as discomfort upon touch, slight swelling, redness, and bruising. These symptoms are normal and usually resolve within a few days.

After a PRP therapy procedure, it is recommended to avoid washing your hair for 24 hours and to avoid using harsh hair and scalp care products. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations to achieve the best results from plasma therapy.

The effect of PRP therapy usually lasts up to a year, but it is recommended to repeat the course of plasma therapy once every 6-12 months to maintain the achieved result.

Before the plasma therapy procedure, it is necessary to take a general blood test, a coagulogram (to assess blood clotting), and tests for HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. It is also recommended to perform a test for the level of platelets in the blood. These tests will help ensure the safety and effectiveness of the PRP therapy procedure for the patient.

PRP therapy helps to solve a wide range of hair problems: from ordinary seasonal shedding to serious forms of baldness. The procedure is effective in case of stress and post-COVID hair loss, as well as in case of signs of hair weakening – thinning, increased brittleness and slow growth.

 The method of plasma therapy is successfully used for different types of alopecia, including hereditary. In addition, PRP therapy is indispensable in preparation for hair transplantation. The course should be completed 10 days before the surgery, and during the recovery period after the transplant.

At the GMC clinic in Moscow, plasma therapy is performed according to international diagnostic and treatment protocols, and our qualified specialists have a European level of training and more than 5 years of practical experience in the treatment of alopecia. We use state-of-the-art expert-class equipment (latest generation plasma centrifuges, plasma quality control systems, microscopes for precise diagnostics), which allows us to achieve quick and accurate results. An individual treatment program is developed for each patient, taking into account all the individual characteristics of their body. We offer fixed prices without hidden additional charges, and payment can be made in installments at any convenient bank without interest.

The number of procedures depends on the specific problem and the patient's individual characteristics, but a course of 7-10 PRP therapy procedures is usually recommended, with an interval of 2-3 weeks.

PRP-therapy is effectively combined with mesotherapy and laser therapy. It is also used as a maintenance procedure after hair transplantation. Our clinic's doctor will select the optimal set of plasma therapy procedures based on the condition of your hair and scalp.

The average duration of one plasma therapy procedure is 30-40 minutes. Of these, about 15-20 minutes are spent preparing the plasma, and the actual process of injecting the plasma takes 10-15 minutes. After the PRP therapy procedure, the doctor performs a follow-up examination, which takes an additional 5-10 minutes.

A full course of PRP therapy at the GMC clinic in Moscow consists of 3-4 procedures with an interval of 2-3 weeks. To maintain the results, it is recommended to repeat the course 1-2 times a year, depending on the individual characteristics of the body and the indications. If necessary, individual areas can be corrected with maintenance plasma therapy procedures every 6-12 months.

On the first day, avoid any contact with the scalp and postpone washing your hair for 24-48 hours. During this period, it is advisable to wear a hat to protect your skin from UV radiation. For two days after PRP therapy, refrain from using harsh cosmetic products, including peels and scrubs. Additionally, avoid visiting saunas, steam rooms, tanning beds, and swimming pools for at least a week to allow your skin to fully recover and maximize the effectiveness of PRP therapy.
