PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the method of obtaining a platelet rich plasma from the blood which is drawn from the body of the patient and giving the plasma again to the patient through injection.
Platelets include growth factors that promote the healing of the body. The aim is to obtain a plasma in which the platelets are more intense than normal blood. As a result the healing factors in the plasma will be higher than normal blood.
In terms of easy to apply and giving effective results, this method has been shown to be one of the best medical methods for hair loss.

Because of this positive effect on the weakened hair follicles, it has also brought together efforts to integrate with PRP method in hair transplantation operations. As a result PRP can be applied as supportive treatment to hair transplantation.
