Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss is a very common problem especially in males and based on heritage, hair thinning is observed in women by 2%. Hair loss between 100 and 150 strands per day is considered normal. Hair loss above this number should be taken into account. Hair loss can be reduced by hair loss treatment methods.

Hair Loss Treatment Methods

The problem of hair loss in men is as common as 95%. The most important reason is hereditary transmission. Stressful life, very sudden and severe psychological traumas are among the other causes of hair loss. Hair loss in men is usually seen in old age, but can start from 25 years old. Hair loss, especially at younger ages, causes both aesthetic and psychological problems. Male type hair loss starts at the top of the head or at the forehead. Hair in the side and back of the head remains. Nowadays, the process of hair loss is slowed by many different methods. In different methods, baldness problems are eliminated through hair transplantation by using the remaining hair in the side and nape region.

Prp Application in Male Type Hair Loss

One of the methods of hair loss treatment is prp process. It is an application that is performed when the hair loss begins to appear seriously. Rejuvenation of the skin tissue from the hair area of the patient prevents hair loss. The skin is rejuvenated by injecting the plasma skin tissue created using the patient’s own blood, and the ability of the tissue to renew itself is increased. As there is no incision, there is no marks left; the patient can return to normal life after the sessions. Since plasma is produced from the patient’s own blood, it is an application for rapid, practical and successful results that do not develop allergies.

The most important point of prp hair treatment is that the application is done by the experts. The blood taken from the patient before PRP is taken to the tubes under sterile conditions and placed in centrifuge. The blood is decomposed from the ingredients that make it up. After this procedure lasting 5-10 minutes, the part of the plasma that is rich in terms of thrombocyte and growth factor is obtained. Plasma is injected subcutaneously with special needles and PRP application is completed. According to the patient’s needs, treatment with PRP is administered 6 to 10 sessions, which are repeated every 15 days.

After the rejuvenation of the scalp, the effect on hair is observed over time. The effects seen as thickening of the hair and reduction of hair loss are seen after the third application. The effect of Prp is 6-8 months. If the hair loss is to be controlled completely, it should be applied 1-2 times a year.

In prp application, hygiene is the most important point both during the plasma formation and at the application phase. Plasma used in skin rejuvenation does not cause any allergic reactions as it is formed from the patient’s own blood. PRP is not applied in patients with a history of cancer or in people with blood disease. It should not be done during the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

PRP is not an application that grows hair. It increases the quality of hair strands and thickness and most importantly, hair loss returns to normal.

Bleeding and redness may be observed due to needle application in the scalp. These effects that go away in a short time do not leave a permanent trace. After prp, some patients may have headache which can be eliminated with painkillers. The patient may feel more hair loss after application and this condition is temporary. The effects will be clearly observed especially after the 3rd application. No shower is taken on the first day after the sessions and the hair area should be protected from direct sunlight.

This depends entirely on the patient’s genetic characteristics and lifestyle (stress, alcohol, smoking, etc.). If you need to make a generalization in 1-2 years, the hair that will be lost in can be lost in 8-10 years. Prp is performed to prevent the hair loss and to improve the quality of existing hair.

In prp application, plasma is injected with a needle under the skin. However, since the solution containing the anesthetic agent is used, these needles are not felt by the patient.

It can be applied to all healthy individuals except for the patients with cancer and blood disease, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding. Before the application, the use of blood thinning drugs should be discontinued.

Hair Mesotherapy for Hair Loss

It is an application similar to the Prp method. While plasma application is made in prp, in mesotherapy, a mixture consisting of vitamins, minerals, minoxidil and organic silica is injected under the hair skin. Thus, the hair roots are fed and the quality increases. Hair loss rate slows down. The frequency of this treatment increases the success achieved.

The ideal application consists of 5 stages.

• Thermotherapy: Ozonated water vapor is applied to hair for 15 minutes. This facilitates the absorption of subcutaneous injections.
• NPG: The injector is applied to the skin without medication to create controlled bleeding. Subcutaneous residual blood is excreted and the tissue is made ready for the drug.
• MIC: Subcutaneous administration of the drug mixture with the injector.
• Washing: Skin is washed with special solution after injector application
• Curing application: Injector is an anesthetic solution which is applied to the skin to prevent the sensation of burning and pain after application and also accelerates the healing process.
• Oil cure: This is the last process and provides 5-6 hours of protection against external effects by creating a layer on the skin.

The number of applications of hair mesotherapy depends on the characteristics of the patient and the rate of hair loss. It is usually administered once a week in four sessions.

There should be a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 days between sessions. In order to fully control the hair loss, it should be applied every year, especially in the season transitions. Hair mesotherapy has no side effects recorded in the literature.
