Platelets form an important constituent of blood just like red and white blood cells. They are mainly involved in clotting of blood after any injury. Apart from that they also contain many growth factors (PDGF,TGF,FGF-2,IGF etc.) which play an important role in healing and recovery of the tissues. PRP has many applications in sports medicine where it is used for recovery of bone, muscle, ligament injuries and presently its use is being tried in many other specialties like neurosurgery, ophthalmology, cardiac surgery, cosmetic surgeries like hair restoration etc. PRP is autologous and hence immunologically neutral .It is free from allergic and foreign body reactions. Procedure: Patient’s blood is withdrawn just as for any other blood investigation. It is then processed for a fixed period so that cells settle down in layers and plasma is separated. Platelet rich plasma contains 4-8 times platelets per cubic cm than normal plasma. It is processed further and applied to the scalp with the help of injections or causing slight injury to the scalp. The rationale for using PRP is to increase the number of platelets and growth factors at the site of tissue injury where it enhances tissue recovery, health. Therapy may stimulate the dormant follicular stem cells to produce new hair, increase the diameter of existing hair, prevent or halt ongoing hair loss and increase the blood circulation to that site. Treatment is given as multiple sessions with interval of about 4 weeks in between two sittings. Minimum three sessions required for great results. Patient may be simultaneously prescribed other medications for enhanced effect. EYE BROW, BEARD MOUSTACHE ….CORRECTION can also be done by fue method How to get good results Most important factor is a very good doctor for perfect diagnosis as well as perfect execution of surgery. A very good doctor who is experienced in understanding of different pathological condition of hair loss is first step .so always choose experienced or bonafied doctor. After diagnosis if hair transplant is the treatment then for 80-90% regrowth you need a hair transplant surgeon who is experienced in all the detail of hair transplant as well as execution of surgery, experienced surgeon may charge little high but going to a inexperienced and bogus doctor will kill the purpose . Comparing FUE & FUT Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) are frequently compared as if they are two totally different, even competing, hair transplant procedures. Despite this common misconception, the difference between FUE and FUT is the method by which follicular units are removed from the donor area in the back and sides of the scalp. The remainder of the procedure is essentially the same. However, the harvesting method does have important implications for the hair restoration procedure as it will affect the total number of high quality grafts that can be harvested from the donor area and, ultimately, the fullness achieved from the hair transplant. In general, the harvesting method of FUT via strip is superior to that of FUE for two main reasons. The first reason is that the FUT procedure allows the surgeon to produce the highest quality grafts by isolating the follicle units with minimal trauma (this disadvantage is minimized with Robotic FUE). The second is that FUT enables the surgeon to best utilize the most permanent part of the donor area. To more fully understand these concepts, click: Graft Quality and Utilizing Donor Hair. Because the differences between FUE and FUT are significant, the pros and cons of FUE should be considered when deciding which procedure is best for Now other technique like body hair transplant is also evolving where surgeons remove hair from different part of body like chest, armpit, pubic area etc Marmm.com provides high quality hair transplants for both men and women at low cost with assured results.
