Sitting at your vanity, you brush your hair and notice strands stuck onto the bristles. Years later, your healthy hair appears thinner and dull. Even after using serums, oils, and supplements, you are frustrated. Contemporary aesthetic science deploys hope with treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi Clinic in Islamabad, the treatment not only restores the volume of hair but also its texture.
What is PRP Therapy?
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a non-invasive, natural treatment that relies on the individual’s own healing potential. A small amount of blood is extracted and centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Platelets have growth factors that trigger tissue repair and cell regeneration. When injected in the hair scalp, PRP awakens sleeping hair follicles.
PRP and Hair Texture: The Science
Hair texture—wavy, curly, or silky—is a function of scalp and hair follicle health. Diet, stress, hormonal imbalance, and aging can weaken follicles, resulting in brittle or irregular hair. PRP targets these underlying causes.
- Stimulates Follicle Activity: Growth factors VEGF and FGF in PRP trigger enhanced blood flow to the scalp, bringing oxygen and nutrients to follicles. It “wakens” dormant hair, stimulating more robust, healthier hair.
- Increases Hair Strength: PRP stimulates keratinocyte production, essential for keratin, the protein that makes up hair. Healthier keratin means smoother, shinier hair.
- Reduces Inflammation: Chronic scalp inflammation can damage follicles and alter texture. PRP’s anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation, creating a healthier environment for hair growth.
- Lengthens Growth Cycle: PRP lengthens the anagen phase, allowing hairs to grow to their maximum potential and reducing frizz and breakage.
What Does the Procedure Involve?
At Dr. Fazeela Abbasi Clinic, PRP therapy is tailored to every patient. This is how it works:
- Consultation: History taking and scalp examination to assess candidacy.
- Blood Draw & Centrifugation: 10–15 ml of blood is drawn to collect the platelet-rich plasma.
- Application: The PRP serum is applied to target areas of the scalp using microneedles.
The 45-minute treatment is almost painless, with the majority of patients reporting it as a slight tingling sensation. For best results, 3–6 treatments, 4–6 weeks apart, followed by yearly maintenance, are advised.
Real Results: Thickness to Texture
PRP is renowned for fighting hair loss and improving texture. Dr. Fazeela Abbasi Clinic patients often complain:
- Smoother, Softer Strands: Fewer broken ends and roughness as hair becomes more robust.
- Improved Shine: Improved circulation restores natural shine.
- Managability: Easy-to-style, frizz-free hair.
- Even Growth: New hairs merge with the existing hairs, eradicating patchiness.
A 2020 Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study found that 82% of PRP users experienced apparent texture enhancements at six months. A second trial found a 30% enhancement in hair density and shine after treatment.
Why PRP Is Special in Pakistan’s Aesthetic Industry
PRP is unique in the market of band-aids because it is safe and sustainable. It does not use chemicals or fillers, but rather the body’s own biology, minimizing side effects. For Pakistani patients who value natural beauty, this is in line with their values.
Dr. Fazeela Abbasi’s clinic enhances this experience with:
- Sanitary methods and high-technology centrifuges provide maximum efficiency.
- Personalized Care: Tailored treatment plans for scalp and lifestyle.
- Post-Treatment Counseling: Dietary recommendations and surface routines to extend outcomes.
