Traction alopecia is a type of hair loss caused by prolonged tension or pulling on hair. Commonly seen in individuals who frequently wear tight hairstyles such as braids, ponytails, or extensions, it results in weakened hair follicles, thinning hair, and sometimes permanent hair loss if left untreated. prp treatment riyadh offers a non-surgical solution to help restore hair density and strengthen affected follicles.
How PRP Helps Traction Alopecia
Stimulating Damaged Follicles
PRP contains concentrated growth factors that promote healing and regeneration of weakened hair follicles. By stimulating these follicles, PRP encourages hair regrowth in areas affected by traction alopecia.
Reducing Scalp Inflammation
Traction alopecia often causes inflammation around hair follicles due to prolonged stress. PRP helps reduce inflammation, creating a healthier environment for hair growth and preventing further damage.
Strengthening Existing Hair
In addition to promoting new growth, PRP strengthens existing hair strands. This reduces breakage and helps maintain the integrity of hair in areas still growing, supporting a fuller and healthier appearance.
Ideal Candidates for PRP in Traction Alopecia
Early to Moderate Cases
PRP is most effective for individuals in the early or moderate stages of traction alopecia. Follicles that are still active but weakened respond best to growth factor stimulation.
Individuals Seeking Non-Surgical Options
PRP is ideal for those who want a minimally invasive, non-surgical approach to hair restoration without downtime or scarring.
Preventive and Restorative Approach
Even if hair thinning is mild, PRP can serve as a preventive measure to strengthen follicles and prevent progression while restoring hair in affected areas.
Treatment Process
The PRP process begins with a consultation to assess the scalp and hair condition. Blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets, which are then injected into the areas affected by traction alopecia. Multiple sessions, typically 3–6 spaced 4–6 weeks apart, are recommended for optimal results.
