What is Platelet Rich Plasma?

El Platelet Rich Plasma, or PRP, is a medical treatment aimed at treating hair problems such as hair loss, loss of quality and lack of density. PRP promotes hair regeneration thanks to the direct application of the rich growth factors contained in the plasma.

It must be a specialized doctor who recommends and performs this hair treatment. It lasts approximately 20 minutes and once the patient is finished, he can return home normally. The process is simple, outpatient and consists of several phases.

Blood draw  

Platelet Rich Plasma in the eyebrows begins with the extraction of a small amount of blood from the patient. From it, the platelet cells that contain the rich growth factors beneficial for capillary health will be extracted later.

The extracted blood is subjected to a special centrifugation process through which the platelet cells are separated from the rest of the blood components.

Once the enriched plasma is obtained, it is injected into the eyebrows through subdermal infiltrations. Once the Platelet Rich Plasma in the eyebrows is finished, the patient can return home and lead a completely normal life.

Is Platelet Rich Plasma beneficial for eyebrows?

Platelet Rich Plasma is beneficial since it helps to maintain the hair of the area with thickness and quality. This treatment is not usually used in isolation, but it is more common to use Platelet Rich Plasma on the eyebrows after a eyebrow implant. This is done mainly due to the great regenerative effect of the enriched plasma, promoting the healing of post-surgery eyebrows and thus obtaining a faster and more effective recovery, as indicated by our expert doctors in hair care. 

However, Platelet Rich Plasma in the eyebrows will not cause new hair to grow in the area. The only way to recover the density of the eyebrows is through FUE eyebrow grafting.

Other uses of PRP

Platelet Rich Plasma in the eyebrows is not the only use given to this medical treatment. Its tissue regenerative effect makes it highly beneficial to also apply it to other parts of the body.

PRP on the beard

With the same purpose that Platelet Rich Plasma is applied to the eyebrows, it is also carried out in the beard. In Hospital Capilar we apply PRP to the beard in patients who have undergone a beard graft, mainly to improve healing and, ultimately, achieve a better aesthetic result.  

PRP in the hair

The most common use of PRP is when it is applied to the scalp. It is one of the most widespread hair treatments today, since it stops hair loss, improves hair quality and promotes the proper functioning of hair follicles.

In these cases, PRP is used as an isolated treatment in cases of telogen effluvium or hair loss Covid o Stress, although it is also highly beneficial in patients who undergo hair grafting.
