Vampire hair treatment is also known as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hair treatment. PRP hair treatment in Mumbai is a well-established remedy for hair loss and thinning of hair. It works well for thinning of hair due to age, certain health conditions, and male pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness is also known as androgenetic alopecia, and most men suffer from it by the time they are in their late thirties or early forties. However, some men may display signs of male pattern baldness much earlier in life, starting from their early twenties.
In combination with other treatments such as minoxidil or finasteride, or as a standalone therapy, PRP is a cost-effective and evidence-backed method to restore your mane. While PRP certainly arrests hair fall and helps you regrow your crowning glory, there are multiple reasons to opt for it.
In this article, we have shortlisted 7 reasons why you should get vampire hair treatment without any hesitations. WhatsApp us to know more about the cost
1. Painless procedure
The result is, that you feel nothing. Soon after the procedure, you can go back to doing what you were doing. In other words, there is no downtime!
Note: We just advise you not to take wash your hair or engage in heavy exercise that may result in sweating, for a couple of days.
2. No side effects
Most hair loss treatments come with several side effects. For instance, minoxidil causes a lot of flaking and itching among some people. Although minoxidil is safe and effective, many people discontinue treatment because the itch is unbearable. Finasteride comes with its own set of side effects that many people find unpleasant.
On the other hand, PRP hair treatment side effects are non-existent. You may get a headache on the day you receive the injections or you may feel some swelling in the targeted areas. This is completely normal and will eventually dissipate over a few hours or days.
As we use sterile equipment to both extract platelet-rich plasma and inject it into your scalp, you can also rest assured that you will not catch any infections. Most importantly, your blood is used to extract plasma. This means you will not experience any allergic reactions.
Note: Do not scratch your scalp for a couple of days if it itches. Also, do not apply any products to your scalp for a couple of days.
3. Cost-effective
Most hair loss treatments are very expensive. On average, people spend thousands of rupees on serums, shampoos, and hair growth tonics that ultimately have no evidence in their favor. You may simply be wasting your hard-earned money on snake oil that may aggravate existing scalp conditions. While minoxidil and finasteride tend to be affordable, they also have several side effects, and many people cannot tolerate them.
On the other hand, PRP hair treatment cost is realistic. PRP hair treatments need to be repeated only once in a few weeks initially, and later you can opt for maintenance therapy every few months. In other words, you spend less money in the long term. Even if you choose to use PRP alongside minoxidil or finasteride, you will not be burning a hole in your pocket.
Note: The exact number of sessions and the frequency depends on your scalp and hair condition. As a result, vampire hair treatments cost can only be determined after a
physical consultation.
4. Tolerable frequency of treatment sittings
In most cases, it helps to administer PRP treatment every 3 weeks initially. A study that was published in The Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery showed that a 3-week gap between sessions was adequate to achieve a thick density of hair 6 months later. However, booster sessions are required every 3 to 6 months, depending on how severe your hair loss condition may be.
At RSB Wellness we determine the frequency of sessions depending on various factors such as age, clinical conditions, the stage of hair loss, and if the patient is undergoing any other treatment alongside. If you have chosen to undergo hair transplantation, the number of sessions required may again vary. Consequently, it is difficult to spell out a one-size-fits-all rule in terms of the number of frequencies required.
Note: Most clients benefit from initially frequent sessions in addition to booster PRP treatments.
5. Can be used as an adjunct therapy
When people experience hair loss, it could be due to many reasons. It could be due to male pattern baldness, hair loss due to an illness, due to treatments such as chemotherapy, or autoimmune conditions such as alopecia areata. PRP works well for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), and general hair loss due to lifestyle and environmental factors. However, it does not work for other conditions.
If you are using minoxidil, finasteride, or corticosteroids to grow your hair back, you can also use PRP as an adjunct therapy to keep your existing hair healthy. In addition, it can also be used after hair transplantation to ensure that you retain what you have newly started to grow.
Note: PRP is not advisable if you have certain health conditions such as psoriasis or eczema. We advise you to consult with us before deciding on a treatment.
6. Arrests hair fall and ensures regrowth
The most obvious benefit of PRP is that it arrests hair fall and encourages new growth. When your blood plasma is injected into your scalp, it reduces inflammation in your hair follicles and makes them more amenable to growth and regeneration. In addition, it boosts collagen production in the scalp, leading to a healthy scalp environment where hair can grow luxuriantly.
Hair growth requires optimal scalp health, and when the scalp loses its elasticity due to aging, hair growth can remain stunted. As a result, hair goes into the telogen stage quite quickly and starts to fall out. PRP makes sure that hair remains in the growth phase for a longer time. In other words, your hair grows longer and remains on your scalp for a longer time.
Note: If your hair loss is due to an unrelated illness, PRP may not help you. Speak with our experts to know more.
7. Improves self-confidence and appearance satisfaction
Hair loss can be devastating to both men and women, regardless of their age. Although most people dismiss hair loss as a natural sign of aging, it quite is not. Hair is an integral part of our body, and its loss can have negative effects on our self-image. Regrowing lost hair or retaining what is left can help boost one’s self-confidence, and improve your appearance satisfaction.
PRP is a safe and effective way to make sure that you are taking actionable steps to regrow your hair. This directly boosts your self-esteem and improves your psychological well-being. You will also be perceived more positively by people around you when you look and feel confident. In short, you will experience enhanced psychological well-being because of the results of PRP hair treatment.
Note: If you are suffering from distress or are consumed by thoughts of losing hair, you may also need psychological support. We urge you to seek mental health care if hair loss is affecting you psychologically.
