[Regenerative medicine] Hair regeneration treatment using PRP
What is PRP?
PRP is an abbreviation for Plate Rich Plasma. In addition to red blood cells and white blood cells, human blood contains a component called platelets. PRP is made by concentrating and activating platelets in the blood, and contains many growth factors that have the effect of repairing tissue and suppressing inflammation.
PRP is used in the field of regenerative medicine to repair damaged tissues, and is also used in the field of beauty.
Characteristics of PRP therapy
● Safety
This treatment uses components found in your own blood.
Unlike methods that involve providing nutrients from outside or planting artificial objects, there is no risk of infection or allergies.
● Natural finish
The effects are gentle and do not bother those around you.
You can regain your youthful appearance without anyone noticing.
● Long-lasting effect
With PRP therapy, the scalp itself regenerates into healthy skin, so the average effect lasts for a long time.
What is hair regeneration using PRP?
Injecting PRP brings out the tissue's regenerative ability, and growth factors act on angiogenesis and hair papilla cells, which is expected to promote hair growth by increasing the growth of the hair shaft and increasing the amount of hair.
Because this is regenerative medicine that uses your own blood, it is highly safe and unlikely to cause side effects such as allergic reactions. Because it utilizes the body's natural healing powers, it takes time for the treatment to be effective, but the treatment is short and there is almost no downtime, so you can receive it without worrying about it interfering with your daily life. Both men and women can receive this treatment.

Painless treatment with FrenchShot U225
At our clinic, we use the "Needle Concept FrenchShot U225" for PRP regenerative medicine. The FrenchShot U225 is designed for intradermal injections.
This high-quality equipment allows for uniform injection of drugs into the optimal layer and has been developed and improved based on aviation industry technology.
By automating the injection time and injection pressure adjustment, it is possible to completely control the injection depth and injection amount, so it can be injected more quickly and evenly than with a normal syringe. In addition, the use of an ultra-fine needle reduces pain and allows the treatment without anesthesia.
