Treatment with your own growth factors ( PLATELET RICH PLASMA, cprp)
Already for some time the use of growth factors, especially of patient’s own growth factors, is rising in the world, in aesthetic as well as in other branches of medicine. There are various kinds of growth factors, but mostly used are thrombocite growth factors, because of their extraordinary effect in the sense of attaining tissue regeneration.

In anti-aging medicine face treatment is becoming imperativ, as well as treatment of neck, decollete and other parts of the body, already after the age of 30, according to certain protocols.
The same approach is used for hair loss (except for total boldness of androgene type).
For the hair loss treatment it is necessary to do certain blood analyses, in order to detect the possible cause of hair loss (this is not necessarily a counterindication for the use of growth factors). The following analyses are done: blood counting, serum level of iron, feritine, hormonal and immunological state of the thyroid gland, level of sex hormones (in the first place androgene hormones, testosterone).
As this treatment is performed with needles, the patient should not be apt to bleeding, not take medicines which lessen blood coagulation (acetyl salicyl acid, ibuprofen, plavix a.o.). Also, the skin in the region to be treated must be intact (without wounds, acne, active herpes a.o.).
The hair should be washed before the intervention and not be washed 2 days after.
The effects of the anti hair loss treatment are not guaranteed, although almost all papers dealing with this point out extraordinary results. The effects can be noticed already after 3-4 weeks, sometimes more, sometimes less, and sometimes there are none. The treatment may be repeated regularly, depending on the desired effect. It is not necessary to hurry with this repeated treatment, for the effect may show even later.
The protocols applied in this treatment according to the most important studies suggest treatment once a month, from 3-6-10.
