More than 40% of men in Spain suffer from alopecia and more than 95% of those cases are caused by androgenetic or hereditary alopecia. Each person has about a hundred thousand hairs and daily we lose between 100 and 150 strands of hair. However, it should become alarming if a person starts losing more hair than the average amount.
The most important solution to this problem is to find an adequate treatment designed to detain hair loss and help new hair growth.
One of such treatments is a hair biostimulation. Would you like to find out what it consists of and where to find a center that offers this treatment with all the warranties in Tenerife? In this article we will explain all the details.
What does the hair biostimulation treatment consist of?
With age our blood flow becomes weaker and this initiates a degenerative process in the cells, depriving them of nutrients and oxygen which affects overall hair health.
Hair biostimulation is a preventive treatment that slows down hair loss and stimulates the growth of new hair.
Biostimulation with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
This is a cutting-edge method which is very effective in hair loss treatment. It consists of applying a patient’s own plasma enriched platelets through microinjections in the scalp, which fight the balding process by activating the root of the hair and reversing the degenerative processes in the hair cells.
It is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that does not require post treatment care.
The treatment is applied through micro injections in the skin in the affected area with the aim of reaching the root of the hair and helping regenerate hair follicles.
What are the effects of the treatment?
- Nourishes and repairs the scalp tissue
- Stimulates hair growth
- Slows down hair loss
- Generates the growth of blood vessels, new collagen, elastine and hyaluronic acid
- Maintains the hair healthy and nourished.
How is the platelet rich plasma obtained?
Platelet rich plasma is obtained from the patient’s own blood. A sample is extracted, then centrifuged in order to separate the blood into its various components. One of these components is the PRP that will be used for the hair loss treatment.
By using the patient’s own blood the risk of allergic or other adverse reactions, as well as transmission of any diseases is completely eliminated.
To whom is this treatment indicated?
In the first place, this treatment is indicated for patients over the age of 30 and who present mild to moderate signs of alopecia.
The number of treatment sessions and their frequency depend on the level of alopecia and the diagnosis of the treating specialist. However, it is recommended to have three treatment sessions in the first year and one or two treatments every year in order to maintain the results.
The treatments of the first year stimulate the tissue and the results usually become visible between 6 and 12 months after the treatment. However, the first results may start appearing after a month of the treatment.
In respect to post-treatment care, the patients can resume their social and professional life immediately after the treatment. That means that the treatment may be carried out any time of the year.
