Thinning hair therapy with your own blood

Blood plasma is rich in platelets, the constituent cells of our blood, which contain numerous growth factors, and act by stimulating stem cells and thereby accelerating the healing and regeneration process of tissue.

Blood plasma therapy, or your own blood, is a type of so-called regenerative medicine that is most often used in the fight against aging and the treatment of injuries.

It proactively uses components of our blood such as platelets, bio-active substances and growth factors that are responsible for the tissue regeneration process.

In the last few years, autologous blood therapy has gained significant traction based on its positive results in solving the problem of hair loss .

By applying this method, accelerated hair growth was recorded in most patients – longer and thicker hair compared to the untreated area.

The success rate of the therapy itself is as high as 80%!

To prepare platelet-rich plasma, a small amount of blood must first be taken from the patient.

It is then placed in a special centrifuge that rotates at high speed and automatically produces plasma rich in platelets.

In order to better understand each client’s needs and discover which treatment or combination of treatments is required, it is necessary to consult with our team of specialists.

The stem cell rejuvenation method can be used for:

• Reduction of glabellar lines, i.e. wrinkles between the eyebrows
• Reduction of “frown” wrinkles
• Improving the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes
• Reduction of nasolabial wrinkles
• Reduction of smile lines
• Treating acne scars
• Reducing wrinkles around the mouth
• Skin rejuvenation on hands and other parts of the body
• Stimulating hair growth on the scalp

Before the treatment itself, specialists will, as a standard procedure, take 10 to 20 ml of your blood.

The pain you will feel will be minimal and negligible, the same as that you feel during a classic blood draw.

After that, the doctor will use a special technique, namely a centrifuge with a high number of revolutions, to separate the plasma from the other components of your blood.

At the Bagatin Polyclinic, a patient can also take a TrichoTest – a test to determine the genetic predisposition to scalp diseases, which can be used to set up the most precise therapy.

The treatment is performed quickly and simply.

The entire process takes 15-20 minutes, during which the level of platelets and growth factors in the plasma increases 3-10 times.

During this time, it is necessary to deeply cleanse the patient’s scalp.

A local anesthetic is most often used to avoid any possible discomfort for the patient. The anesthetic ensures that the treatment is minimally painful for the patient.

This is followed by the injection of plasma into the scalp using a syringe. The plasma has a stimulating effect on the skin, improving local microcirculation and stimulating the skin renewal process.

In blood plasma, along with platelets, there are growth factors and your stem cells, which further stimulate the renewal process.

Since this treatment uses your own blood, no synthetic substances are introduced and there is no possibility of side effects.

The treatment is completely non-toxic, hypoallergenic and does not require recovery time. After the procedure, once the scalp is disinfected, the patient can return to their daily activities. We advise the patient not to expose the scalp to direct sunlight, or to protect the scalp with an appropriate cap or scarf upon completion of the procedure.

For a few days after the procedure, it is necessary to avoid aggressive shampoos for washed hair and combing with sharp brushes.

It is important to note that not all methods that use blood plasma are created equal. The success of hair thinning therapy with your own blood depends on the concentration of the plasma, which is rich in platelets and growth factors.

If it is not at a sufficient level, then it will not have the desired therapeutic effect on the patient.

Of course, the emphasis is on the expertise and experience of the doctor.

It is also important to know that if you are in the later stages of hair loss, most of your follicles have most likely already died, so in that case, hair thinning therapy with your own blood may not be the best solution.

However, you are left with solutions such as modern hair replacement systems or hair transplantation.

Hair thinning therapy with your own blood is not applied in the following cases:

• Critical thrombocytopenias
• Hemodynamic instability
• Platelet dysfunction
• Autoimmune diseases
• Acute and chronic diseases
• In pregnant women
• In patients with chronic liver disease
• In patients using anti-coagulant therapy
