What is PRP?

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medical procedure that utilizes the patient's own blood to stimulate healing and rejuvenation.

The process begins with a small amount of blood drawn from the patient, typically from the arm. This blood is then centrifuged to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other components. Platelets contain growth factors and proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. Once the PRP is prepared, it is injected into the targeted area, such as the scalp for hair restoration or the face for skin rejuvenation. PRP therapy can promote collagen production, improve blood circulation, and stimulate the growth of new cells, resulting in healthier skin or hair growth.

The resulting concentrated platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the scalp, specifically targeting areas affected by hair loss. Platelets are rich in growth factors that play a crucial role in stimulating tissue repair and regeneration. When introduced into the scalp, PRP promotes hair follicle growth, increases hair thickness, and prolongs the hair growth cycle. This treatment can benefit patients with hair loss complaints by offering a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution that harnesses the body's natural healing mechanisms. PRP therapy not only addresses existing hair loss but also helps prevent further hair thinning, leading to improved hair density and overall scalp health.

What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients into the mesoderm, or middle layer of the skin. This technique aims to nourish and hydrate the skin, as well as to target specific concerns such as cellulite reduction or fat loss. Mesotherapy can be performed using a series of tiny injections or with the aid of a specialized mesotherapy gun. The ingredients in the solution vary depending on the patient's needs and the desired outcome.

Mesotherapy for hair loss employs a method of delivering a potent blend of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes directly into the scalp's mesoderm layer through a series of tiny injections. This revitalizes hair follicles, fostering thicker and healthier hair growth. By directly supplying essential nutrients to the scalp, mesotherapy effectively tackles hair loss and enhances overall scalp health. This treatment is suitable for both men and women, addressing various types of hair loss by reactivating dormant follicles, nourishing existing ones, and stimulating new hair growth. Its benefits include promoting hair regrowth, reducing hair loss, enhancing blood circulation to the scalp, and boosting collagen production for a healthier scalp environment.

Key Differences Between Both

Difference between PRP and Mesotherapy:

PRP:

• Utilizes platelet-rich plasma extracted from the patient's blood.
• Stimulates tissue repair and rejuvenation through growth factors and proteins.
• Often used for hair restoration, skin rejuvenation, and wound healing.

Mesotherapy:

• Involves injecting a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients into the middle layer of the skin.
• Aims to nourish the skin and target specific concerns like cellulite reduction or fat loss.
• Typically performed using tiny injections or a specialized mesotherapy gun.

PRP + Mesotherapy at Mediphora

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy combined with mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine. Mesotherapy complements PRP by injecting a mixture of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active ingredients into the mesodermal layer of the skin to address various concerns like skin rejuvenation, hair loss, and cellulite reduction. This combination treatment aims to enhance skin texture, tone, and elasticity, stimulate hair growth, and improve overall skin health.
