Is PRP Safe for Hair Restoration?
Yes, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for hair restoration. PRP uses your own blood, which is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets—these are rich in growth factors that promote healing and regeneration. Since it's autologous (from your own body), the risk of allergic reactions or rejection is extremely low.
Safety Highlights:
- Minimal side effects: possible mild tenderness or swelling at injection sites.
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive.
- Typically performed in a clinic without the need for downtime.
Clinical Insight: Studies suggest PRP may improve hair density and reduce hair thinning by stimulating dormant hair follicles. It's especially beneficial in the early stages of androgenic alopecia (pattern hair loss).
